The V6 PRV engine is an overhead cam V6 automobile engine designed and manufactured by the company "Française de Mécanique" for PRV, an alliance of Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars. Sold from 1974 to 1998, it was produced in four displacements between 2.5 L and 3.0, and in both SOHC and DOHC and 2-valve and 4-valve per cylinder configurations.
The four-cylinder engine was officially dropped from the lineup, with the V6 remaining as the sole engine. [16] A badge engineered version of the Premier was added using a familiar Chrysler name, the Dodge Monaco, a moniker that was first used by Dodge in 1965 and last used in 1978 on a full-size, rear-drive sedan.

Volvo introduced the PRV engine, its only V6 engine, in 1974. The PRV was available in 2.7 and 2.8 L configurations, with SOHC cylinder heads. The PRV was developed together with Renault and Peugeot; thus the acronym name PRV. 1975–1979 B27F — 2.7 L (2,664 cc) SOHC — Volvo 260
Based "on the principles of the Peugeot 504", [5] using its bulkhead, [6] doors, and part of the 504 floorpan, [7] and usually powered by the then-new 144 PS (106 kW) 2.7-litre V6 PRV engine, developed in conjunction with Renault and Volvo, [5] the car was Peugeot's first entry into the large luxury saloon market for 40 years - the most recent ...
The PRV engine in the naturally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2849 cc unit producing 120 kW; 160 hp (160 PS). The small power gain compensated for the weight increase, up by 92 kg (203 lb). Also available was the more powerful turbocharged model, which used a smaller (2.5-liter) displacement.
The galvanization process increased torsional rigidity by 60 per cent and bending resistance by 20 per cent, at a cost of a 30 kg (66 lb) weight gain. [7] Weight distribution was rather front heavy, with 62.9 per cent of the weight being over the front wheels (original petrol version). [11] The Espace was eventually launched by Renault in July ...
Unlike the PRV V6, which was a 90° engine because it was developed from a V8 project, the ES/L has a traditional 60° V-angle. It is constructed entirely in aluminum, and available only in DOHC 24-valve format. Its sole iteration, the ES9 (PSA) or L7X (Renault), has a displacement of 2,946 cc (2.9 L), slightly less than the 3.0 L variant of ...
A V6 engine is a six-cylinder piston engine where the cylinders and cylinder blocks share a common crankshaft and are arranged in a V configuration. A typical DOHC V6 engine, represented in AngeTheGreat's Engine Simulator. The first V6 engines were designed and produced independently by Marmon Motor Car Company, Deutz Gasmotoren Fabrik and ...
