what is the difference between v12 and w12 engine?

A V12 is a typical V engine w/ 6 inline cylinders per side. A W12 has two configurations. The original had 3 cylinder banks w/ each having 4 cylinders. It was the Napier Lion airplane engine developed in 1917, later used in speed boats and race cars. The VW W12 has 2 banks of 6 cylinders, but the cylinders are staggered to allow for a shorter, but wider block.

basically a v12 is just a normal v engine with 12 cylinders in the sense that a v6 or a v8 is a normal v engine with that many cylinders whereas a w12 (or a w16 in the bugatti's case) is kind of like two v6 engines next to each other (the bugatti having two v8 engines next to each other)

In depends on the scene of the car as for example the bugatti veyron 16.4 ss has v12 engine but has 16 cylinders not 12 and now many v6 don't have 6 cylinders some can have just 4 and a weird engine is the audi quattro it has a v8 with just 5 cylinders and a single turbo

Excuse me Doperapper but WTF are you saying? The acid by you must be killer! 8*)_~~

I don’t know sorry

Is the W12 engine a reliable engine. And is it better than the V8 engine?

Dope rapper don't ever open your mouth again or type some stupid shit like that
