Have you seen the W8 engine?

Whoa! That is wild! It is in a Jetta model and will be in the new (to the USA) Phaelon or something. They are also making a W12. Two rows of cylinders in each bank separated by 15 degrees. Counter-rotating balance shafts???

All I can say is, LOTS OF PARTS TO FAIL!

I was wondering about that. I have seen the W8 badge but didnt know if it was just the name or the motor. I will go and look now.

Sounds cool.

This site has a write up on the engine/car and has a picture of the engine. Pretty complex. www.forbes.com/2002/05/13/0513feat_2.html
