The V-type engine is a type of engine configuration or layout in which the cylinders are oriented in two rows or "banks", both connected to the same crankshaft.
If you were to look at a diagram of the the pistons, connecting rods, and crank, it would form the shape of a V, thus the name V type engine. The design allows for more power with less weight than an inline engine with the same number of cylinders.
In a typical V8 engine, there will be two banks, each having 4 pistons. The banks are inclined to each other at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees.
