the primary benefit of increasing the number of cylinders (with unchanged displacement) is smoothness. with more cylinders, you distribute the engine's displacement into smaller volumes. each piston moves up and down a shorter distance than it otherwise would. this is what you want in an engine - mass changing direction with as little force as possible. so you get less vibration from the engine. and the power comes from more, smaller explosions versus fewer, larger ones, so that's smoother too.
You're saying " Explosions " in the Cylinders . I hope not it wont run for long in that case I assure you . They are " Combustion Events " . Sorry to be " Picky " , but you were talking like you had a clue . Which you don't BTW . Can punctuate or write a sentence either , it seems .
I work a vw dealer and let me tell you the TDI's are the best engines VW and Audi make here in the USA, they are very reliable .as for the gas engines........ it is very rare to see one make it to 200,000 miles. I would say a vw or audi will be reliable only if you want to keep it less than 100,000 miles.
@behahve1 the veyron's Engine has got 1000Hp, the Audi has got 500. the veyron has a displacement of 8 litres, the audi has got 6. the veyron has 1200nm at 5000 U/min; the V12 TDI gives 1000nm at 2000 U/min. And of course: the Audi uses 20 litres at maximum speed - the Veyron needs 100l at 100km, if you push the gaspedal to the bottom.
@takeoff108 f1 cars have a v6 engine that produce around 900hp. The amount of cylinders and displacement isnt the only thing that matters. Some v6 engines produce only about 150-200 hp, it depends on how theyre built and what the purpose is
@theinneruniverse not a big fan of the 3 chain drive. Seems like more points of fault for destruction of the engine. Plus chains stretch more than belts so really you'll be replacing it almost as much as a belt to avoid timing issues. Maybe its just me but i think diesels should be gear driven, especially with the size of this v12. May be louder, but im sure audi can engineer it quieter, we've seen them do much more :D.
your right man, and to BMW620, theres this simple principle in mechanics, the more parts there is the more complicated it becomes, and the more likely it is to fail, so building a V12 without it going hay wire is better than building a 4 cylinder
the most important figure is power. Power is the rate of doing work, torque is the work and a higher powered engine can do more work in any given unit of time than a less powerful engine even if the torque figure of that engine is greater.
@mastertuner46 I hear you brother, if the simulation is correct have you seen how much more the inlet and exhaust ports can be enlarged, this thing lends itself to tuning what with the truck engine chain drive reliability and all, John Force would have to make the transmission for it !!
For those talking about engineering, increasing the number of cylinders has something to do with mechanical efficieny and speed, it's not just about being complicated. If you want to get the feeling try to find any other 4-cyl. engine on the planet that develops the same TORQUE.
Audi switched from bulletproof engines based on timing belt... to something like this , that is based on 2 timing chains in v12 and 4 timing chains behind the engine in 3.0 tdi...
los fabricantes deberían aprovechar los gases de escape para mover un generador eléctrico, en el lugar que va el turbo usar una turbina generadora para recargar las baterías y mover motores eléctricos 😅 También podrían probar un segundo motor a vapor ligado al motor térmico para aprovechar el 40 % de energía calorífica y mover un generador eléctrico, sumado a los gases de escape se podría incrementar hasta un 100% de eficiencia motriz teórica Ojalá los fabricantes encontraran de dónde sacar más con menos combustible y proteger el planeta
Se un motore deve proprio essere diesel allora è meglio che sia proprio così! L'accoppiata ideale V12 DIESEL per via della coppia elevata ai bassi e medi regimi e per la durata...
@Dogurasu Maybe you will find a lot of Trucks there in the USA, but in the rest of the market (which is much bigger than the USA) you will not. Trucks are dying. Big Engines with low HP are dying. The future is a car with low engine size and a lot of HP to save some fuel, which is absolutley reasonable. No one will need a 4L Engine in the future with less hp than a 2 litres engine.
@takeoff108 i dont get your point the engine isnt allright cuz theyre not made in cali? or cant you buy them in the states? wats your point? it sounds like you cant stand the fact that german engineering is way better and more complex and more economic than the simple v8(which takes a gallon per mile) that everyone has in the states(implied on cars that only want to go forward really fast and lack cornering capabilities).....
The potential of diesel is untapped, once you are used to the quiet power delivery of a diesel at high (100 plus MpH) speed you see a Otto engine as a noisy alternative.
For the most part, I hate Audis, I think they're pretentious, jumped-up, overpriced rebadged VWs pretending they can match BMW, but this engine is just fantastic. I'd love to build some kind of kit car around it!
mikkei yes it is! But the v12 engine is more balanced and there's less time from spark to spark, more efficent at high rpm, Also the v10 is a very efficent configuration , but the twelve cylinder still better , can move that weight more easlily and smoothly than a v10
