can anyone explain what is a "W8" engine?
apparently something 'new' from volkswagen...
i did some googling, but only found
>> the VW said -like a V8 only more compact
and another site -- like two V4's stuck together in a W shape..
now (looking down on engine)
regular V8 something like
O | O
O | O
O | O
O | O
so two V4's looking like W would be
O | O O | O
O | O O | O
but seems (to me) that would require two Cranks (two flywheels?),
2x camshafts...... and so, be not that much smaller, but
heavier and more complicated than the V8
???
