There’s a common myth that an inline six-cylinder engine makes more torque than a similar V6 engine\u2013or even a V8 engine. The myth seems to hold that engine torque is somehow a product of mainshaft length. But it’s entirely untrue. Inline engines do\u2013however\u2013have some key strengths over V6s and V8s, which are fueling this configuration’s dramatic comeback.<\/p>\n

Do inline six-cylinder engines make more torque? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Torque is the product of an engine’s displacement, RPM, and the length of the piston’s travel (stroke). And while some configurations can rev to higher RPMs, there is no cylinder configuration that instantly grants an engine more torque. Yet somehow, the myth that inline engines have more torque seems to persist.<\/p>\n
