How many cylinders does a W12 have?

[VonAnastasia]

W12 refers to 12 cylinders, where 'W' denotes the W configuration, meaning there are four banks of cylinders arranged at an angle, with 3 cylinders in each bank. W12 engines are quite rare, but some vehicles are equipped with this type of engine, such as the Audi A8, Volkswagen Phaeton, and Bentley Continental. The displacement of a W12 engine typically exceeds 6.0 liters, and most large-displacement engines of this type are naturally aspirated. Engine displacement is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine, usually measured in liters. The cylinder volume refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke.
