 Engine Configuration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
A V engine is a common configuration for an internal combustion engine in which the pistons are aligned so that, if viewed along the line of the crankshaft, they appear to be in a V. The V configuration reduces the overall engine length and weight compared to an equivalent straight engine.
A flat, boxer,or horizontally opposed engine is a type of engine where the pistons lie horizontally opposed, with pairs of cylinders on the left and the right, as opposed to most modern engines where all pistons are inline, or the alternating pistons are positioned in a "V"-angle.
Air-cooled flat-twin engines were used by Citroën in their model 2CV and its derivatives, while the Citroën GS used a flat-4, and a flat-6 was proposed for the Citroën DS but rejected due to impractability.

 Lancia Heritage
Speculation abounds as to why the engineers would develop such an innovative method of construction, the most favored opinion being that their inspiration came from the study of boat construction – the firm's founder Vincenzo Lancia was known to have taken a boat cruise shortly before the design.
All car manufacturers used the same formula of increasing engine size for subsequent models to maintain buyer interest, and so it was that the fifth series Lambda was fitted with a 2570cc engine good for 69bhp and a top speed to nearly 80mph (129 km/h).
As used in the Stratos, the Dino engine was transversely mounted behind the seats, and was good for 190bhp at 7000, all from a reasonably small and lightweight 2418cc engine that drive the rear wheels through a Ferrari Dino five-speed gearbox.

There was fitted to the engine a shorter oil filter than the normal and as I found later someone had cut the inner pipe of the oil-filter base to fit the more common oil-filter, so I replace the whole base of the oil filter with another one.

That may not sound like a revolutionary feature compared to earlier Lancia advances like overhead camshafts but when you consider that external hinges are open to the weather and dust you will realise that "concealed" hinges would have dramatically reduced problems with wear, thereby reducing maintenance and generally making the car easier to live with.
Alberto Ascari was signed-up by Lancia to lead their venture but his death (driving a Ferrari) deflated the effort and the team was disbanded.

V4 technology just wasn't advanced very much by companies, which is why the cars had low power; on a side note they did get better gas mileage than an Inline-4 of the same power (usually).
As regards W engines, there are 3 variations of them, a 3 bank layout, what is basically 2 V engines in a V layout with a single crank, and what is basically 2 V engines, each with a counter-rotating crankshaft - this is mostly used in bike engines.
