Specifications
The W12 engine comes equipped by a 6.0-liter twin-turbo unit features a unique configuration with four banks of three cylinders, essentially combining two VR6 engines to form a compact “W” layout. This design delivers the power and smoothness of a V12 while maintaining a shorter, space-efficient length, making it ideal for high-end luxury applications. Producing between 550 to 700 horsepower, the W12 is renowned for its immense low-end torque, effortless acceleration, and refined performance, commonly powering flagship models such as the Bentley Continental and the Audi A8.
Advanced technologies like dual fuel injection, twin turbocharging, and cylinder deactivation further enhance efficiency and responsiveness, cementing the W12 as one of the most distinctive and sophisticated engines ever engineered.
