The result was less cylinder distortion coupled with the decreased weight of rotating assemblies, smoother operation at that engine speed, and increased engine efficiency.
Six-cylinder engines in passenger cars are disappearing. Except for luxury brands, mainstream cars increasingly don't offer once-mainstay V6 engines.
