If I say "yes" it will mislead you, but "no" is a bit too strong!
Keep on with your research in that area.
Time for an expert to finish this off!
alta ?
This is the recreation of the C1929 Maserati Tipo V4 "Sedici Cilindri", built by Anthony Hartley. It has a V16 engine.

Pretty well correct, that's the car and that's how the engine is described.
A voice from the back row would ask if a twin-crankshaft twin-bank engine should be called a V-16 ???

I think both cranks run in the same crankcase and are geared together so it is nearly a V16.

Certainly, and it's not easy to come up with an alternative description.
For the benefit of the others, this is what we're on about
Surely that makes it a U-16? ;)
