Volkswagen has announced that they’ve bested themselves by creating a comprehensively reworked version of their famous W12 engine and presenting it as their new 2.0-liter turbo four.
The new W12 engine has stepped up its game with all the latest powertrain technology while keeping the same arrangement and the same 6.0-liter displacement. The list of upgrades includes a new TSI system, a pair of new twin-scroll turbochargers, APS-coated cylinders, a new cooling system, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation and a stop/start system.
With all the upgrades, the engine will now produce 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful than other luxury model’s 4.0- liter twin-turbo V8. According to Volkswagen, in the right application, the new twelve-pot could deliver 0-62 times of under four seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour.
