What is the difference between V8 and V12?
1 Answers
The differences between V8 and V12: 1. Different engines: The V8 engine has 8 cylinders; the V12 engine has 12 cylinders. 2. Different configuration ranges: The V8 has relatively lower power and is generally configured in ordinary cars; the V12 has much stronger power, and its engines are used in larger vehicles, mostly luxury top-tier cars like the A8, BMW 760, and Mercedes S600, which are all quite heavy. 3. Different cylinder arrangements: The V8 has a V-shaped arrangement with 4 cylinders on each side; the V12 also has a V-shaped arrangement but with 6 cylinders on each side. The more cylinders an engine has, the harder it is to control, the more complex the control system becomes, and the stricter the manufacturing process of the cylinder block must be.
