liter inline six cylinder. Photo looks really short. Any one able to take the specs and tell what the diameter of the cylinders would be.

I would have to use the SWAG method on that one.

Unless battery tech starts improving in leaps and bounds, we are still a long ways away from switching over to EVs 100%. And even then there will be segments where gas engines are the only way (extreme cold, remote areas, taxis/delivery vehicles, etc.)

If the 4 cylinder was a 2.0, that would mean a 6 cylinder would be 3.0l. Assuming a roughly "square" engine (bore is close to the stroke) that would be around a 86mm bore and stroke. Most I6s are undersquare with a longer stroke though.

Damn fine estimate!
