What does Audi A8 W12 mean?
1 Answers
Audi A8 W12 refers to the car being equipped with a W-shaped 12-cylinder engine. This W12 engine is formed by connecting two V6 engines with a 72-degree angle. The length of this engine is only 513mm, and the width is 690mm, so it can be installed at the front of the car and combined with a four-wheel drive system. Here is some related information about the W-type engine: The W-type engine is a proprietary engine technology of Volkswagen Group in Germany. By slightly offsetting the cylinders on each side of the V-type engine (for example, the Passat W8 has a small angle of 15 degrees), it becomes a W-type engine. Since the cylinder arrangement of the W-type engine consists of two small V-shapes forming a large V-shape, the W-type engine should still be considered a variant of the V-type engine.
