While building the lats is certainly a must for creating a “V” shape, there’s one muscle group that’s often overlooked. Working all three heads of the deltoids will add to upper body width thus enhancing the appearance of a “V” taper. Additionally, building broader shoulders will create the illusion that that your waist is smaller. This is important for those that cannot seem to develop narrow ripped abdominals.

If you're referring to the V-shape created by a thin waist and wide latissimus dorsi, then I wholeheartedly recommend spending a lot of time doing pullups and its many variations.

As far as the slim waist goes, I'm not in a position to give advice, as I've had a slim waist by genetic predisposition. My challenge was always gaining mass, and for calisthenic mass gain around the upper back and lats, I've found pullups to be the be-all, end-all exercise for that.

I urge you to take your time with each rep, as eccentric overloading has been serenaded for its effect on muscle building. Read more.

But more than that, I find it dubious that you are looking for ONE single exeercise, instead of a complete regimen. One single exercise will do nothing for you, unless it's part of a well-rounded workout program.
