Volkswagen's legendary VR6 engine has cylinders positioned at what degree angle?

The Volkswagen VR6 engine has cylinders positioned at a 15-degree angle primarily for reasons related to its compact design and efficient packaging. The angle allows for a narrow cylinder head, enabling the use of a single cylinder head with both banks of cylinders. This reduces overall weight and complexity, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles. Additionally, the 15-degree angle helps to keep the engine's center of gravity low, improving handling characteristics and overall stability.
