Bugger, I was about to post about this! lol, W12 Golf, sheer madness, 650bhp in a family hatchback, well, not anymore...
Me wants. Is the VAG W12 engine not just 2 of the old 3.0V6 engines coupled together?

and here i am thinking that VW were very calm ppl........and wouldnt suddenly go spastic and drop a car on a engine.....you cant seriously think that that engine was built for that car..... the golf you can buy now is like that.....jus look at this thing!!!!! sorry but i choose life over this car
even though i am currently putting a 1300cc suzuki hiobussa engine in the middle of a mini yeah thats about the same hey

the vr6 started as 2.8 and grew to 3.2, the W12 has always been about 6 litre, the unique 72 degree mating of two 12 degree v6's (vr6s) is the significant bit.Thw W12 is clever and compact, just not so good at heat dissapation. It is restricted by its very short crankpins/ thin con-rods and is in general restricted to undersquare bore/stroke ratios, (while the W16 in the veyron has a square bore:stroke ratio- this is a W12 x 1.5, longitudonally)
A 6.0l W12 is logically 2 x 3.0 Vr6.
eg:
current R32 VR6 - bore * stroke 84 x 95.9 mm (note R36/passat has 89.0 x 96.4 mm)
W12 (phaeton/bent gt) - bore * stroke 84 x 90.20 mm
