Backstory
In the 1990s, ETK decided to start replacing their straight-six engines by more modern V6s. This particular engine debuted in 2001 on ETK 1000 Series.
Their fans were greatly disappointed and were mourning the classic ETK straight-six. After two decades, ETK finally listened to their complaints and started bringing the straight-sixes back, gradually phasing out the V6s. This was the last V6 to remain on ETK vehicles, being manufactured until 2017.
