==== Other angles ==== Other angle V6 engines are possible but can suffer from severe vibration problems unless very carefully designed. Notable V-angles include: * 45 degrees β [[EMD 567]] and [[EMD 645]] locomotive, marine and stationary Diesel engines. These engines were based on V8 and V16 engines which also used a V-angle of 45 degrees. * 54 degrees β 1994-2004 [[GM 54-Degree V6 engine|General Motors 54-degree]] automotive engine. A slightly smaller than usual V-angle was used to reduce the width of the engine, allowing it to be used in small transverse-engine front-wheel drive cars. * 65 degrees β 1956-1975 [[Ferrari Dino engine#65Β°|Ferrari Dino]] automobile engine. The V-angle was increased from the then-common 60 degree angle to allow larger carburetors to be used (for potentially higher power in race tuning). Crankpins with an offset of 55 degrees within every pair of cylinders were used to achieve the even firing interval of a 60 degree V6 engine. The 2009βpresent [[V9X engine|Nissan-Renault V9X]] automobile engine also used a 65 degree bank angle, to allow a turbocharger to fit between the cylinder banks. * 72 degrees β [[Mercedes-Benz OM642 engine|Mercedes-Benz OM642]] [[BlueTEC]] diesel engine. This engine uses crank pins offset by 48 degrees, to achieve an even firing interval. * 75 degrees β 1992-2004 [[Isuzu V engine]] used in the [[Isuzu Rodeo]] and [[Isuzu Trooper]]. These engines were produced in both SOHC and DOHC versions. A 75 degree V6 engine is also used by the 2016β2022 [[Honda NSX (second generation)|Honda NSX]]. * 80 degrees β 1988 [[Honda RA16 engine|''Honda RA168-E'' engine]] used in the [[McLaren MP4/4]] Formula One racing car.
