On further thought I think I understand where they get the "W". It isn't that the engine is in a W shape, but a double-V.

 

Yep, just two narrow-angle VR6's joined at the crankshaft:

As you look down on the engine from above, it appears to be a narrow-angle V-12, but much, much shorter than a 6L V-12 could be.
