The 'v' is the engine design/shape.
The '6' is the number of cylinders.

yes it means that it has a 6 cylinder engine and that the engine is in a V format that is there is 3 cylinders on the left side and 3 on the right.
the same for a 6 cylinder in a row this is that the cylinders are in a line one after the other...

It means a 6 cylinder engine and the cylinders are fitted in a V shape not like ordinary engines which have the cylinders fitted vertically.

ok when it says v before the number then you have a motor that looks like a V when you look at it from the front... The number after tells you how mnay cylinders that it has.. Ex. |6 means inline 6 cylinder. means all six cylinders are in a line instead of in a V.

V is the type of the engine(actually arrangement of the pistons relative to the crankshaft), and 6 is the number of cylinders in the engine.
Wikipedia is an excellent source, if you want to know more about the automobile engines.
