Is a V10 bigger than a V8?
Nonetheless, the V8 car engines are smaller and have fewer cylinders than vehicles with V10 engines. Also, the larger the engine, the more fuel it consumes and the higher its power and speed. 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.A V8 has two rows of four cylinders that power the engine, whereas the W12 has four rows of three cylinders. Adding 4 cylinders can add more power, such as with the Bentley Continental GT V8 compared to the W12 version, where the V8 has 542 horsepower compared to the W12 with 626 horsepower.
