Engines currently come in three types, which refer to cylinder configuration.
An inline engine has vertical cylinders lined up one right after the other. A V-type engine has two rows of cylinders lined up one right after the other with each row set at an angle in relation to the other row. A horizontally opposed engine is also known as a flat, or boxer, engine. Cylinders are horizontal rather than vertical and point in the opposite of two directions. Now that the Mazda RX-7 is no longer sold in the U.S., a rotary engine is no longer available in any new cars.
