The Slant Four is a type of car engine manufactured by Vauxhall Motors and in modified form by Lotus Cars. Unveiled in 1966, it was one of the first production overhead camshaft designs to use a rubber toothed belt to drive the camshaft from the crankshaft (an honor shared with the 1966 Pontiac OHC Six), a method developed in 1956 by Bill Devin.
