A W12 is like two VR6 blocks put together.

It will definetly be faster than the w12, the w12 is basically 2 v6's mashed together, so it has a lot of power, but not necessarily speed power (hard to write what i am trying to say). The v10 will push it faster and harder cuz it has all of the cylenders working otgether, not like having 2 sep. engines in one car. Plus your numbers are on the old s8 if im not mistaken?

Nope both number are from the new cars. And how can i be wrong? 0-60 in 5.0 in one (w12) and 5.1 (S8) therefore the W12 is in fact faster. What dont u get? Maybe the 1/4 mi will tell a different story but thats the only stat i could find for both. And also power is power, wheather it comes from 2, 4 or 8 engines in the car. Now if u mean the V10 will have more TQ then that maybe be true.
