Is V8 faster than V6 twin-turbo?
V8 engines generally have more torque although, the difference can be minimal in some models. The power of eight cylinders allows for heavier hauls and higher towing capacity. More power also means quicker acceleration and speed. For instance, the key difference between V12 vs V10 is that a V12 car engine has 12 cylinders, while a V10 car engine has 10 cylinders. Therefore, a V12 engine contains two more cylinders than a V10 engine, which offers more power because of the extra cylinders.
Is a V12 faster than a V8?
A V12 engine is more powerful than V8, V10, and V6 engines. Similarly, V10 engines produce more power (HP) than V6 and V8s. From this graph, you can clearly see the difference in HP in V engines. Added cylinder means a larger and heavier engine that will burn more fuel. That is the case, generally speaking, considering less cylinders means less fuel being burned over the same timeframe. So, running two isolated engines with the same size combustion chamber, one a V6 and one a V8, at the same RPM — sure, a V6 easily wins in the fuel efficiency department.
