When you think of Volkswagen you probably think of Jettas, or Golfs, maybe even the punch buggy. What you DON'T think of is HUGE POWER or extreme luxury. I mean, their name literally translates to “people’s car”. So why and how then did they create one of the most bonkers, highly sophisticated, amazing sounding “luxury” engines of all time? Today we’re diving into the incredible engineering of one of the coolest, most bizarre engines ever made - the W12. And we also find out exactly how the famous VW VR6 is involved in all of this!

  • Hey there, former VW mechanic here. I'd like to add a few things to this video. While the D. Napier & Son Engine is a W (also known as Y) engine, the VW's Engine is not really a W Engine. Strictly Speaking it's a "V V R" engine. The old W Engine had 3 seperate cylinder banks compared to the VWs 2 double banks. (2:00) Also I think that the cost of the VR design was rather high due to large amounts of Research and Developement that was needed aswell as the twisted crankshaft and all the unique parts that you couldn't ever hope to use on a "standard" V6 or R6 (I6) engine. (5:30) Next up from what I remember about the VR6 intakes, they don't actually have different length intakes and if they had it would just be short and long rather than an individual length for every cylinder. (around 6:30) Just as a sidenote: timing chains are always a weak link in Volkswagen engines and head gaskets aren't particularly long living either. (6:50) After that I have to admit that I've never heard the term "WR", VW just calles it "W". Furthermore while the 444 (SAE) HP were something, but by the early 2000s the Phaetons and Touaregs were also available with a V10 TDI (in Europe), which may not quite have the 444bhp, but a much higher torque as they are diesels. (9:40) Having driven both of them, I'd much prefer the V10 Diesel over the W12 Petrol engine, but that may differ in the US. Hope that helps people, sorry if I remember anything wrong. Sayonara!

One of them has a vr6 swapped into it and It sounds like crap tbh, but the other one is trying to replicate it with its diesel engene and It sounds like a tractor and well riced civic had a baby. The worst fartcan ever. And yes, they are reving them in 1am. Sorry for bad english.

  • Just a couple of things to point out. Although designed in the 90s it wasn't available to the market until the Phaeton in 2004, and it had 414bhp. The 444bhp variant only appeared a few years later in the GP1 (late 2007 generation). The race car is actually called the Nardo W12 Coupe, and it broke every single speed record of the race at 204mph average speed over 24 hours.

    • @@v6tex, I've owned 3 B5.5 wagons, all with 2.0 TDIs. Loved them all. The interior is pretty simple, easy to use controls, super comfortable seats, very generous head room, which I personally appreciate being long in the torso. The chassis itself transmits less road noise than many of VW's newer offerings and the engine noise was pretty quiet at speed as well. Very comfortable and quiet highway cruisers. Great for long trips. The handling is pretty good, though lacking in feedback thanks to that Audi virtual steering axis suspension. Need to get myself back into one. I find them much more comfortable than the 2014 Passat I have now. As for engine options, unfortunately here in the U.S. we only got 1.8 turbos, 2.8 V6s, 4.0 W8 and the 2.0 TDI (BHW code, came automatic transmission only and was sold here for only 2 model years). I miss the comfort of being in one of those. Outstanding car just from a comfort and noise standpoint alone.
