The VW VR6 is technically closer to an inline engine. I read somewhere that VR stands for Verkürzt Reihenmotor, which translates to shortened inline engine. Single block, single head with exhaust ports on one side and intake ports on the other, I6 firing order... There is only a slight angle between the pistons to allow them to be closer together.
The VR6 does sound wonderful. IMO inline 6s do sound so much better than V6s
