It's a 180° V6.

More undetected sarcasm.

How is it a "V" then, LOL!

Along the same lines, it's amazing how many BMW salesmen will tell you that their cars are equiped with V-6's.

It's amazing how people can be hired to sell, document, etc a product and not be required to have ANY knowledge of the topic at hand.

The 911 Carrera base models are equipped with a 3.4-litre boxer engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. It develops 257 kW (350 hp) at 7,400 rpm and the maximum torque is 390 Nm at 5,600 rpm.

I caught that too. They do mention a little later that its either a flat six or a boxer engine.

I find that is true pretty much everywhere I go. When I want to buy something I always do tons of research on it. I'm an OC nerd, what can I do? Anyways, when I talk to sales people, they never know anything about what I want to buy. Same apply to service professionnals. I don't know how many times I have spoken with graphic artists that knew less than I do about the technical aspects of documents. How can you be a graphic artist and not know what a DPI is, or compression ratios for file formats, or even file format themselves??? It's crazy!

I know your were being sarcastic, but a V 180º is not a boxer

At the risk of this suddenly becoming way off topic, what would the difference be? Cyclinder head design? If the pistons are horizontally opposed I think I'd call it a "flat" or "boxer" engine.

I can't believe I missed them saying this! Ha! My wife always thinks it's funny that I always know more about the cars and/or products we are getting ready to buy than the salesman! I have a friend who is a very succesful car salesman and he HATES cars!

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"True boxers have each crankpin controlling only one piston/cylinder while 180° engines, which superficially appear very similar, share crankpins"
