The V3 engine is a V type internal combustion engine with two cylinders in one bank and one in the other, a rare configuration that has appeared almost entirely in two stroke motorcycle engines built for Grand Prix racing, beginning with the 1955 DKW RM 350. Honda became its leading user, racing the NS500 and NSR500 from 1982 to 1984 and fitting the layout to road bikes including the MVX250F and NS400R, and unveiled a prototype V3 engine paired with an electric supercharger in November 2024, fitting it to the V3R 900 E-Compressor prototype the following year.
