Other Cars with W16 Engines
There are a few other cars that have been equipped with W16 engines, but they are all very rare and expensive. These cars include:
- Bentley Hunaudieres
- Dauer 962 Le Mans
- Volkswagen Nardo
The W16 engine is a very powerful and efficient engine, but it is also very expensive to produce. As a result, it is only used in a few very high-end cars.
