W16 engine

A W16 engine is a sixteen cylinder piston engine with four banks of four cylinders in a W configuration. As of now, Volkswagen Group is the only automaker to design and build a W16 engine. The engines used in Bugatti models have a displacement of eight liters, as well as four camshafts and four turbochargers. Most high-performance models have just two turbochargers. Essentially, the quad turbo W16 engine is an amalgam of two VR8 engines sharing a common crankshaft and operating as one. Currently, the street-legal Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ houses the most powerful rendition of this engine. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ generates 1,578 hp and reaches a top speed of 304 mph, making it the fastest sports car in the world.
