Is the Phaeton engine V12 or W12?

[MollyMarie]

There are both V12 and W12. The cylinders of a V-type engine are arranged in a V shape, generally with an included angle within 90 degrees, although some may exceed 90 degrees. The ideal angle is 90 degrees. The advantages of a V-type engine are smooth operation and space saving, but the disadvantages are complex structure, difficulty in maintenance and repair, resulting in higher car maintenance costs. The W-type engine is equivalent to two V-type engines (V+V=W). Its advantages are more compact structure, ability to accommodate more cylinders, and larger displacement, but the disadvantages are overly complex structure and less balanced operation compared to the V-type engine.
