Euro-minded gearheads will be quite familiar with the Volkswagen VR6 engine. It first entered the fold in the early 1990s, and was one of the first groundbreaking new engine designs of the modern era. For those not in the know, the VR6 engine is, essentially, a V6 with an extremely narrow bank angle of just about 15 degrees. In addition, instead of two separate cylinder heads, all six pistons are housed underneath a single head.
