If you see the W12 logo on the body of an Audi A6, there is only one possibility: the owner put it on it himself. W12 refers to a 12-cylinder engine with a W-shaped layout. The w arrangement is a patent of Volkswagen. The W12 engine is more compact and runs quieter.

For example, some models using V12 engines can only use rear drive and cannot achieve four-wheel drive.
