V represents the pattern in which the pistons are positioned and therefore fire. With V6/8/10/12 motors they are shaped like V's. I3/4/5 motors are inline, side by side. As mentioned above, there are a couple boxer motors that are flat and they fire away from each other.
There are also W motors that are two V motors fused together.
