Abstract
An internal combustion engine having four individual cylinder banks, in each case two cylinder banks being arranged in a V-shape with respect to one another in such a way that the cylinder banks forming a V are disposed on both sides of one engine plane E defined by a vertical axis H that symmetrically divides the internal combustion engine and by a longitudinal axis L of the internal combustion engine, one cylinder bank of the cylinder banks that are associated with one another in a V-shape being configured closer to the engine plane E or the vertical axis H than the cylinder bank that is diametrically opposed with respect to the engine plane E. The present invention is intended for use in mixture-compressing internal combustion engines having externally supplied ignition, but also for air-compressing, self-ignition internal combustion engines.
