@death16839 V is a cylinder placement... its not the ammount of cylinders.. Porshces 911 has a FLAT 6 cyl engine. they dont call it V6. same here. its a joined V8 making it a W16
this graph is incorrect, the veyron has a W16. it is 2 BMW V8's side by side. hence the W. what do ytou get if you put to V's together? V+V=VV wich equals W
@yamahabanshee350 the W16 motor only cost abour 16K dollars and it features 2 twin turbo V8's. please how me a 1,000hp 2JZGTE that makes the same power for 16k or less? last time i checked my buddies single turbo conversion on his '93 supra was 6K alone and it was only making 700rwhp. it now has easily 40K in the motor alone
@xPiiNGUx Wrong. Bugatti uses 16 cylinders in one engine with one crankshaft. Each cylinder bank uses two rows of cylinders that are offset from each other to save on total engine length and weight. Look on wikipedia for the page on w16 engines. You can read all about them there. The Veyron engine is at the top of the page on the right.
@xPiiNGUx Actually you're wrong , this really is the W16 shape and design. When they say its 2 V8s together, they dont mean there are 2 crankshafts, they just mean it looks like two V8 on the same crankshaft if u look from the side.
@xPiiNGUx No, you're wrong. It's much like the W12 in the Bentley Continental and Volkswagen Phaeton. Which would be more similar to two Volkswagen VR6 motors put together. This is essentially what would amount to two VR8 (if they existed) motors together on one crankshaft.
@drevol500 Gosh, finally a guy who understands anything from engines... The W16 engine is more likely to be two VR8 engines together than V8. But some people can't think at all. :)
@drevol500 vw did make a w8 for the passat for a couple years, it didnt make great power and was being overtaken by more efficient (in power making and emmisions) 4 cyl and 6 cyl di engines.
The I in "I-4" means it is a straight 4 engine. V8 means that there are 2 rows of 4 cylinders making 8 in total. And I think that w16 means that there are 2 rows of two rows.
@cameron947 i didn`t mean to insult you or anything like that.... but it says in the title of the video "Bugatti Veyron W16 drawn and simulated in Autodesk Inventor" and if they didn`t see from the title, or worse, from the video that it was a W16... sorry.. peace
@tibby499 Ok, sorry for blowing up at you then. I am way more into diesel then gas vehicle's so I didn't know that's what the "W" meant in W-16. So that's why I said that.
@cameron947 The reason the tops are slanted is with the angle on the pistons being offset would make it so that the top of the piston would only reach the top of the cylinder on one side if the block is decked on a single plane. The only way to correct this is either deck the block on two angles which could be a real pain in the ass to machine or cut the pistons on an angle. Just imagine the block angle across the top of each cylinder bank and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@guicapone2 By staggering the pistons on each bank of 8 the engine can be much more compact. Think of a V-6 compared to an inline 6. This is like taking a V-16 and folding it again, hence W-16.
people... get it through your heads... SUPER CARS SUCK... they are under powered and over priced. buy a sporty car, do a bunch of work on it or even pay some one to do it and it will b at or past super car level for half of the price... which is at least $50K
@moossee32 essentially, that's what a W16 is; two V8s that share the same crankshaft, but are slightly off center. Both have the same V angle...amazing technology.

@blockinater V16's were around in the '30's and '40's, it isn't rocket science. Cadillac and Lincoln flathead V12's idle at around 450 RPM with carburetors and point-type ignition
@KevinCalendula Well, let's see... VW's are chronically unreliable, but mostly electrically (thank Bosch). This has 4x the ignition and EFI complexity of the 1.8T's. I don't think they found enough buyers that you could get statistical data, but you can guess...
Well, The Veyron was introduced 4 years ago, and since then, nobody didn't have any kind of mechanical or electrical problem. The engine is made to handle a minimum of 300 000 km in extreme conditions. There are some preproduction models with 170 000 km on it's clock and without any mechanical or electrical problem.
The gearbox is made by Ricardo, rather than Borg-Wargner who designed the six speed DSG used in other VW models. Preproduction test models completed 200 consecutive full-throttle launches without any kind of problem. So, it's rock solid.
@Zer0kbps The W refers to the staggered cylinders in each bank. Instead of them all being in a line, like a typical V setup. The staggered cylinders allow for a slightly more compact engine, front to back.
Actual its a V-VR engine no idea how VW thinks it's a W engine. a W engine has three Cylinder Banks not only two. (yes the Bugatti Veyron W16.4 has a VW Engine)
In Mechanik Schoolbooks is writen, that a VR engine is a row engine with shifted Cylinders and a V-VR engine are "2 VR" engines in a angle of ca. 60 degrees also licke a V. also is a V8 like two 4 Cylinders row engine built together, the same is with VR and V-VR.

@f0k069 WTFRU talking about? It is a W 16. Two very narrow angle V8s on a common crank. What did you think W16 meant? What are you talking about 2 separate crankshafts? There's only one crank. They could have done it with 2, but this is better.
@GarrettKeetley I could argue that I keep hearing about people who make 1000 horsepower supras by themselves with half the cylinders and they're probably lighter, not to mention cheaper. But I'm not in the mood to get dragged into one of those week long arguments that take up comment pages, lol. VW does make great stock engines though, as long as you arent the mechanic working on them.
Wow, back then you could take a 1968 Hemi Charger off the show room floor and run around 9 seconds, the Veyron runs 10.1, so it take 16 cylinders and 4 turbos to get to that? That's weak, and if you really want to compare, look at the go cart death traps Bugatti passed off as a "car" in 1968.
@chevyman5436 You're comparing apples to oranges, the Hemi was never designed to pass the 250 mph barrier, and the Veyron was never designed as a drag oriented car... On the other hand a slightly modified 98 TT Supra would burn the two mentioned cars in a drag. I'm not hating American cars since I also love them but they serve a different purpose...
V8s are old, specially the American ones, they make such an awful clunk. European BMW Audi etc make beautiful V8s that are civilized at low speeds, however roar when you need them to. Ever heard a BMW X5 4.8is, thats a beautiful V8, and the sound they make are 10 times better than a clunky American Block. Plus have you ever heard a W16 in Action? You probably haven't and well, it is a completely different sound. The sound of pure power. Something out of this world. We shouldn't be going backward
@MaestroMajeFoX I'm not hating on the Bugatti Veyron, the Veyron is an excellent car. I'm hating on the people that worship it and think it's the unsurpassable epitome of the automotive world, which it's obviously not.
To each his own, I say. Performance/$ you can't beat an simple American v8 engine.
When you have that many cylinders it doesn't even sound like an engine anymore, just sort of a mechanical hum. I'd bet you can't feel the motor idling in the driver seat either.
Europe and Japan have smaller engines with that power, or using forced induction and make more power and torque, and than make cars more reliable.
Euro diesels are best MPG cars in the world even for same power, best supercars, and lots of other things. Displacement is root of power, but technology gives better advantages if we talking about normal street cars in range 200-500 bhp. If we talking about racing, other rules.
@2jzgtejza80 im saying without forced induction those cars are not good for much but your daily driver. i do agree that euro diesels are very good because they burn much cleaner the regular gas engine cars
Ok, I understand when Americans in America say that V8s are best, but in Europe, American V8's can't even pass EURO 3 norms from 1994 or EURO 4 from 2001 or 2002, and what we are talking about. BMW producing engines with same or more power and lots of torque for 2 or even 3 times less exhaust emissions. You see, we have huge 6.2 liter (380CUI ) diesel engine from Audi that gets great fuel economy (19-21 city, 28-35 highway in heavy SUV applications) and still can reach 186mph.
I don't think American V8's are the best at all. I'm just saying, from an aesthetic perspective, I get why a lot of guys over here like them. They do have a certain classic charm to them, and they're cheap and durable.
Old push-rod V8's are obviously not a viable option for mass production cars moving into the future, for the reasons you highlight. But I can dig em.
I can see how it works, but as a qualified mechanic why? What advantage a W16, 12 or 8 has over say, an R4 or R18 or R28. Even looking at inlines and V's. Small block Chev V8 was a revolution for years from 1955 Not forgetting aviation technology with R7 or R9 per row, This gives such marvels as the twin row Pratt and Whitneys as well as Wrights, R2000 14 Cyl, R2800 18 Cyl as well as the R4360 28 cylinder. Sizing back to 8, 10 or 12 litres is practical. Oh Europe over enginered still.
The SSC has half the engin and KICKS it's ass!!

The gearbox is made by Ricardo, rather than Borg-Wargner who designed the six speed DSG used in other VW models. Preproduction test models completed 200 consecutive full-throttle launches without any kind of problem. So, it's rock solid.

veyron is unique, but i dun like it.
this engine is unique, but i hate it.
basicly redneck-ish way to "bolt" to engines into 1.
problem is, "half" of this engine can produce over 600 hp, and now 2 of them kaes 1K hp.
DO NOT WANT IT.
btw.. 1K hp.. bah.. nowdays diesels can do that whit a simple v8...

takes 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers to get 1000hp id expect more for anything over a million.

not really a W its a V16, now a Napier Lion is a W12, that looks more W'uy
Zer0kbps 1 year ago
@Zer0kbps The W refers to the staggered cylinders in each bank. Instead of them all being in a line, like a typical V setup. The staggered cylinders allow for a slightly more compact engine, front to back.

Actual its a V-VR engine no idea how VW thinks it's a W engine. a W engine has three Cylinder Banks not only two. (yes the Bugatti Veyron W16.4 has a VW Engine)
In Mechanik Schoolbooks is writen, that a VR engine is a row engine with shifted Cylinders and a V-VR engine are "2 VR" engines in a angle of ca. 60 degrees also licke a V. also is a V8 like two 4 Cylinders row engine built together, the same is with VR and V-VR.

@Palenta111 It''s definitely a W engine. If it were a V, the pistons would be 2 rows of pistons. The pistons on this engine are in 4 rows. It's a W.

@f0k069 WTFRU talking about? It is a W 16. Two very narrow angle V8s on a common crank. What did you think W16 meant? What are you talking about 2 separate crankshafts? There's only one crank. They could have done it with 2, but this is better.

@GarrettKeetley I could argue that I keep hearing about people who make 1000 horsepower supras by themselves with half the cylinders and they're probably lighter, not to mention cheaper. But I'm not in the mood to get dragged into one of those week long arguments that take up comment pages, lol. VW does make great stock engines though, as long as you arent the mechanic working on them.

Wow, back then you could take a 1968 Hemi Charger off the show room floor and run around 9 seconds, the Veyron runs 10.1, so it take 16 cylinders and 4 turbos to get to that? That's weak, and if you really want to compare, look at the go cart death traps Bugatti passed off as a "car" in 1968.
chevyman5436 1 year ago
@chevyman5436 You're comparing apples to oranges, the Hemi was never designed to pass the 250 mph barrier, and the Veyron was never designed as a drag oriented car... On the other hand a slightly modified 98 TT Supra would burn the two mentioned cars in a drag. I'm not hating American cars since I also love them but they serve a different purpose...

V8s are old, specially the American ones, they make such an awful clunk. European BMW Audi etc make beautiful V8s that are civilized at low speeds, however roar when you need them to. Ever heard a BMW X5 4.8is, thats a beautiful V8, and the sound they make are 10 times better than a clunky American Block. Plus have you ever heard a W16 in Action? You probably haven't and well, it is a completely different sound. The sound of pure power. Something out of this world. We shouldn't be going backward

To each his own, I say. Performance/$ you can't beat an simple American v8 engine.
When you have that many cylinders it doesn't even sound like an engine anymore, just sort of a mechanical hum. I'd bet you can't feel the motor idling in the driver seat either.

bamfan2044 1 year ago
@bamfan2044
Europe and Japan have smaller engines with that power, or using forced induction and make more power and torque, and than make cars more reliable.
Euro diesels are best MPG cars in the world even for same power, best supercars, and lots of other things. Displacement is root of power, but technology gives better advantages if we talking about normal street cars in range 200-500 bhp. If we talking about racing, other rules.
2jzgtejza80 1 year ago
@2jzgtejza80 im saying without forced induction those cars are not good for much but your daily driver. i do agree that euro diesels are very good because they burn much cleaner the regular gas engine cars
bamfan2044 1 year ago
@imsgoalie
Ok, I understand when Americans in America say that V8s are best, but in Europe, American V8's can't even pass EURO 3 norms from 1994 or EURO 4 from 2001 or 2002, and what we are talking about. BMW producing engines with same or more power and lots of torque for 2 or even 3 times less exhaust emissions. You see, we have huge 6.2 liter (380CUI ) diesel engine from Audi that gets great fuel economy (19-21 city, 28-35 highway in heavy SUV applications) and still can reach 186mph.
2jzgtejza80 1 year ago
@2jzgtejza80
I don't think American V8's are the best at all. I'm just saying, from an aesthetic perspective, I get why a lot of guys over here like them. They do have a certain classic charm to them, and they're cheap and durable.
Old push-rod V8's are obviously not a viable option for mass production cars moving into the future, for the reasons you highlight. But I can dig em.
imsgoalie 1 year ago
I can see how it works, but as a qualified mechanic why? What advantage a W16, 12 or 8 has over say, an R4 or R18 or R28. Even looking at inlines and V's. Small block Chev V8 was a revolution for years from 1955 Not forgetting aviation technology with R7 or R9 per row, This gives such marvels as the twin row Pratt and Whitneys as well as Wrights, R2000 14 Cyl, R2800 18 Cyl as well as the R4360 28 cylinder. Sizing back to 8, 10 or 12 litres is practical. Oh Europe over enginered still.
