W8 engine (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

A W8 engine is an eight-cylinder piston engine with four banks of two cylinders each, arranged in a W configuration. In practice, the W8 engine is created from two narrow-angle (15 degree) VR4 engines mounted at an angle of 72 degrees from each other on a common crankshaft. Thus, the resulting four banks align to form a "W". W8 engines are much less common than V8 engines, and the only W8 engine to reach production was manufactured by Volkswagen from 2001–2004.

O W8 da Volkswagen foi montado no Volkswagen Passat (B5.5) de setembro de 2001 a setembro de 2004, como um automóvel "premium" da marca, contudo as vendas foram muito baixas, com aproximadamente 10 mil veículos vendidos. Posteriormente este segmento de mercado foi ocupado pelo Volkswagen Phaeton. (pt)
