What is W12 in Audi and what does W12 on Audi A8 mean

Compared to previous technologies, the new Audi 12-cylinder engine offers unmatched advantages. It's compact, powerful, and lightweight. Since this engine is only 513mm long and 690mm wide, it is mounted in front of the car and can be combined with a four-wheel drive system.

However, other types of 12-cylinder engines can only be matched with rear-wheel drive systems due to their large size. Because in the lower part of the engine in front of the car there is not enough space for front-wheel drive components.

The compact design of the new W12 engine, combined with the use of light metal materials such as aluminum and mirrors, gives this 12-cylinder engine another advantage, which is its low weight. The W12 engine on the Audi A8 Quattro has reduced the weight of the vehicle to an unprecedented 1,980 kg, which is lower than all other models. The car's weight per unit of horsepower is only that, which is comparable to that of a high-performance sports car.

Compared to previous designs, this engine is not a classic W12 engine, as it does not have a three-row split configuration, but instead houses three connecting rods on the same crankpin. The new 12-cylinder engine, developed jointly by Audi and Volkswagen, is truly different.

If you look at the cylinder arrangement of the engine, you can see that the machine is made of two sets of ultra-small V6 assemblies. Each group has six cylinders arranged at a 15° angle.

This offset arrangement combines the advantages of a classic V6 4-cylinder engine with minimal width and length.

Another advantage of connecting the two rows of cylinders at 72° is that the height of the engine is significantly reduced, which means that the front profile of the car can be designed to be flatter and more streamlined. Another advantage is that it brings a unique dynamism to a luxury sedan, which is perhaps what people are looking forward to the most.

The heart of the W12 engine is a crankshaft drive with seven bearings, which weighs only a lot. The crankpin is an offset configuration that maintains a constant ignition sequence like a V6 engine. The overall rigidity of this engine is also extraordinary.

Its excellent vibration resistance results in a level of comfort that exceeds even what would be expected of a 12-cylinder engine.

Hello, the W12 is a 12-cylinder engine, and the Audi W12 engine is made up of two V6 engines, and two V6s are W12, and V12 is a monolithic 12-cylinder engine, not two V6 engines.

W means that the shape of the engine is W type 12 is 12 cylinders.

ASF all-aluminium body frame structureAudi is a pioneer and technology leader in the field of lightweight aluminium construction. For more than 10 years, the Aluminium and Lightweight Design Center has achieved success at Audi. The Adaptive Air Suspension with Quadrangular Air Suspension System with Continuously Variable Damping Control completely solves the contradiction that has always existed between the superior handling characteristics of luxury cars and the comfort of the suspension.

For the first time, adaptive lighting and daytime running lights combine LED daytime running lights, which not only add to the unique appearance of the car, but also effectively improve safety. The LED daytime running lights turn on automatically when ignited.

The world's quietest cockpitThe new Audi A8L offers users the quietest sedan cabin in the world. Thanks to a more sound-insulating bonnet, a front windshield and wind-optimised wheel arches, the new Audi A8L has the lowest levels of engine noise, road noise and ambient noise in its class without increasing the weight of the vehicle.

The A6L does not have a W12 car. You're thinking too much. It seems that the tallest A6 before was only 8 cylinders.

The Audi A6 does not have a W12 engine, only the Audi A8 does, and the Audi A6 uses a turbocharged engine in the highest configuration. The W12 engine on the Audi A8 has a maximum power of 331 kW and a maximum torque of 580 Nm, allowing the A8 to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in seconds. At present, the **A8 has been used in liter models.

A6 is the highest, and of course I'm talking about C6, not C5

There is no eight-cylinder A6! If you want an eight-cylinder, it's the A8! But now it's all A8L!

The A6 does not have a W12, only the A8 has a 12-cylinder one.

A8 only has W12, W12 is the engine.

The details are that without Audi AG, they don't know that they have ever been out of the W12 A6

The W12 behind the Audi A8L, that is, the two V6 engine cylinders are juxtaposed to form an angle of W, and the engine has a total of 12 cylinders, so it is called W12, which is an important parameter of "cylinder arrangement". Generally, the cylinders of engines below 5 cylinders are lined up, and the most common low-end cars are L4 engines, that is, 4 cylinders are lined up.

Introduction to the functions of the W-type engine;

The engine is the engine technology unique to Volkswagen of Deshi Duanguo. The cylinders on each side of the V-engine are staggered at a small angle (for example, the small angle of the Passat W8 is 15 degrees) and it becomes a W-engine.

The cylinder arrangement of the engine must also be W-shaped, which is not the case. It's just an approximate W-shaped arrangement. Strictly speaking, it should also belong to the V-engine, at least a variant of the V-engine.

3.Compared to the V-shaped bridge shouting engine, the W-type engine can make the engine shorter and the crankshaft shorter, which can save the empty space occupied by the engine, and at the same time the weight can be lighter, but the width is larger, making the cabin fuller.

The biggest problem with the engine is that the whole engine is divided into two parts, which inevitably produces a lot of vibration during operation.

Audi A8L behind the W12, that is, the two V6 engine blocks of the slag side by side to form a W angle, the engine has a total of 12 cylinders, so it is called W12, W12 is an important parameter of "cylinder arrangement", generally 5 cylinders below the engine limbs of the cylinder is arranged in an in-line way, most of the common low-end cars are L4 engine, that is, in-line 4 cylinders.

Introduction to the functions of the W-type engine;

1. The W-type engine is the exclusive engine technology of Volkswagen of Germany. The V-shaped engine is staggered at a small angle on each side of the cylinder (e.g. the Passat W8 has a small angle of 15 degrees) to become a W-shaped engine.

2. The cylinder arrangement of the W-type engine must also be W-shaped, but in fact, it is only an approximate W-shaped arrangement, strictly speaking, it should also belong to the V-type engine, at least a variant of the V-type engine.

3. Compared with the V-type engine, the W-type engine can be made shorter, and the crankshaft can also be shorter, so that the space occupied by the engine can be saved, and the weight can also be lighter, but its width is larger, making the engine room fuller.

4. The biggest problem of the W-type engine is that the engine is divided into two parts by a whole, which will inevitably cause a lot of vibration during operation.
