How many cylinders does a V12 car have?

[Genesis]

An automotive V12 refers to a 12-cylinder engine arranged in a V-shaped configuration. There are various arrangements for car engines, with the most common being the L-type (also called inline), such as L4 or L6, which denote inline 4-cylinder and inline 6-cylinder engines respectively. Generally, the more cylinders an engine has, the larger its displacement will be. Larger engine displacement typically results in stronger power output but also higher fuel consumption. However, these are theoretical conclusions—in reality, performance mainly depends on the manufacturer's tuning, which includes factors like intake and exhaust volume, ignition timing, fuel injection timing, and cylinder bore diameter.
