In a time of downsizing, hybrids and electric stuff is Volkswagen happy just thick W12 engines build. What can we expect from the new version of this block and in what cars is it?

The most important details about the new W12 engine were already known, but Automotive News did even more to tell about the 6-liter big block. The previous version of this power unit in the Bentley Continental (and its derivatives) turbo s, and Audi A8 direct injection. These two techniques will be in the future version combined, so that all of the VAG brands in the basis of the same engine.

As indicated earlier, the maximum power of 608 hp at a torque of 900 Nm, but then we have ‘t only about the basic version. Very probably there are also more powerful variants spooned in, for example, the Speed editions of Bentley. In addition, cylinders should be turned off if the situation so requires.

Further reports ANE that we the W12 TSI for the first time go look back in the Bentley Bentayga SUV, the new A8, the upcoming Volkswagen Phaeton, and in the successors of the Continental and the Flying Spur. Or we monsterblok also in the Audi Q7 can be expected is still the question, but VAG says in each case that the motor is suitable for sportier stuff.
