    The document discusses the W engine configuration, which consists of two VR engine banks arranged at a 72 degree angle to form a W shape. This modular design allows for compact yet powerful engines. A key example is the Bugatti Veyron's W16 engine, which produces over 1,000 horsepower and can propel the car to over 400 km/h, setting land speed records. The W engine design offers benefits over conventional V engines like smaller external dimensions while retaining high performance. Automakers continue advancing W engine technology to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing power.

    Introduction

    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. As with the V engines, the cylinders are distributed to two banks. In the W engines, these banks of cylinders are aligned at a V-angle of 72 in relation to one another.

    Why called W ?

    The W principle
    To illustrate the principle of the W engine cylinder arrangement, let first look at conventional engine types. The Inline Engine The V Engine

    The modular design principle of the W engines


    Two compact VR engines

    from the VR series are combined to produce a W engine. The result is a series of compact petrol engines ranging from the W8 to the W16. Combining two VR engines with a cylinder angle of 72 produces a W engine.

    A Comparison
    When a conventional 8-cylinder V engine is

    compared to an 8- cylinder W engine, the latter particularly stands out due to its compact design and very small external dimensions.
    W engine is highlighted by the fact that it has

    even smaller external dimensions than a conventional V8 engine.

    The Crankcase
    The crankcase comprises two components: the

    crankcase upper section and the crankcase lower section. The upper section contains, among other things, the cylinders and the upper bearing cover halves of the crankshaft. The crankcase lower section is designed as a bearing support and carries the lower bearing cover halves. The bearing support is attached to the crankcase upper section by 4 bolts per bearing cover.

    The Cylinder Heads


    The W engines have two aluminium cylinder heads

    with two overhead camshafts apiece.

    Due to the cylinder arrangement, short and long

    valves as well as short and long inlet and exhaust ports alternate with one another.

    Latest W EngineThe W16 Engine


    A W16 engine is a

    sixteen cylinder piston i nternal combustion engine. All W16 engines consist of two 'doublerow banks of eight cylinders, coupled to a single crankshaft. Volkswagen Group is the only automotive manufacturer currently producing W16 engines.

    Why Called SUPER ENGINE?


    The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the fastest supercar in the

    world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h (407 km/h). The Bugatti Veyron features a super W16 engine16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders. Bugatti once again claimed the land speed record for production cars on July 4, 2010 with the Veyron Super Sport version with an unbelievable speed of 432kph.

    Conclusion
    W engine creates a new era of powerful & efficient

    engines with better fuel economy. From 1906 to present there is a constant increase in performance of W engines. Engineers are trying to make it more powerful & efficient and are looking forward to make W engines suitable for aviation purposes with lesser fuel consumptions.

    THE END! THANK YOU ALL!! HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!
