Avenger1647545502 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Still, a triple-headed engine would be really cool. How about FIVE? http://ramchargercentral.com/open-discussions/chrysler-multibank-%2830-cyl-engine%29-restoration/ Or SEVEN? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSC_Zvezda_M503 Or NINE? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoming_R-7755 Or a mere THREE...but look how they do it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Deltic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 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: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/bentleyw12.jpg 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. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/images-2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
