Default Silly Question ?

Just been perusing Autotrader for our favourite cars and a kv6 is advertised as having "Quad cams"

Don't they all have Quad cams ?

They all have quad cams (same engine for the 2.0 and the 2.5 K series) and 24 valves, one pair of cams for normal driving and the other pair of cams is for performance cams under hard acceleration, and with 24 valves it enables the engine to rev higher and harder is that correct anyone???

I believe there is one inlet camshaft and one exhaust shaft for each bank of the vee , making 4 in all , on all the Kv6 engines .
