Is a V12 faster than a V8?
If “faster” means capable of running at a higher RPM, it would be almost categorically true to say that all V12 engines are “faster” then any V8s. If referring to top speed of the cars the engines are installed in, again it would be nearly true to say that all V12 cars are faster than V8s. Power delivery: Generally, V8s release lower power than V10 engines due to fewer cylinders, while V10 engines release slightly more power due to the extra cylinders. Smoothness: V10 engines are also relatively smooth, while V8 engines can have more vibration, especially in performance applications.
