Self Study Program 248 – The W Engine Concept

VAG SSP 248. This Self-Study Programme will familiarise you with the engine mechanicals of the W engine family. The new W8 as well as the W12 engine by VOLKSWAGEN are representatives of a new engine generation – the W engines.

The constantly rising demands regarding performance, running comfort and fuel economy have led to the advancement of existing drive units and the development of new drive units.

The W engines set exacting demands on design. Large numbers of cylinders were adapted to the extremely compact dimensions of the engine. In the process, more attention was paid to lightweight design.
