12 cylinders. the block is shaped so the pistons are making a w shape instead of a v shape... um... yea that basically explains it

I am taking it that you have read the website I told you then?  But Brian is exactly right.

You could get away with making it a SOHC, but it would take a lot more design than a DOHC would.

i thought a W engine is two blocks vertically opposed to create one, not shaped like a W. but maybe i'm wrong. i read about this buggati with a quad turbo W16 engine, it was two vertically opposed V8 blocks that were forged together to make one, just looked like one big V16. there was only one shot of the engine though so i couldnt really get a good look at it.

here is what the deck would look like on a W-8 well fairly close. Instead of placing the cylinders side by side they offset each one to save space.

A very impressive motor even in it's infancy.

This concept car broke the 24 Hour indurance record for the most distance covered in 24 hours: 4402.8 miles at an average speed of 183.45MPH breaking the Corvette ZR1's record by 7.5MPH.

Also here are the pistons, which I thought were an interesting design.
