back in the early 90's when Mercedes went from inline-6 to V-6, pretty sure they said the shorter V-6 would help in front crash impact. Who know's how much was sales or reality.

then I read the inline six at extreme high rpm the crank can wobble - so probably why you don't see dedicated race engine designs that are inline-6 - at least none I can think of.
