How many cylinders does the Phaeton have?
1 Answers
Phaeton is equipped with a 12-cylinder gasoline engine. The W12 is the flagship in the Phaeton engine series, with a displacement of 5988cc, an output power of up to 309 kW/420 hp, and a maximum torque of 550 Newton meters. The W12 engine measures 513 mm in length, 715 mm in height, and 710 mm in width. The W12 is essentially composed of two very narrow V6 four-valve engines arranged in a W configuration at a 72-degree angle, featuring a 7-bearing crankshaft. Inside the two V6 engine groups, the cylinder angle is only 15 degrees. This design makes the W12 engine more compact than a traditional V12 engine.
