A W18 engine is an eighteen-cylinder piston engine with three banks of six cylinders in a W configuration. The W18 layout is rarely used, with the only production examples being several aircraft during the 1920s and 1930s. Prototype W18 engines were produced for concept cars predecessors to the Bugatti Veyron in the late 1990s.
The Mercedes-Benz W18 was a six-cylinder automobile introduced as the Mercedes-Benz Typ 290 in 1933. It was a smaller-engined successor to the manufacturer’s Typ 350 / 370 Mannheim model.

The Mercedes D.VI was an eighteen-cylinder, liquid-cooled W-18 type aircraft engine built by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) and used on a small number of German aircraft during World War I. It was 44,3 liter W 18 cylinder aeroengine with 517 hp/380 kW power at 1400 rpm. The engine weighed 1,636 lb (742 kg). [1] [2]
The most common W-type engine is the 4-bank type, with the Volkswagen Group experimenting with the Passat W8 and it’s 4.0 liter, 4-bank W8 engine and later implementing the concept with their Bentley division, creating a 6.0 liter W12 in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. Due to the pre-existing VR-type engine only needing ...
Two engines, a stillborn V16 engine based on an elongated V12 engine and an 8.0 W18 engine [8] meant for a hypothetical 800 SEL/S 800 were, again, developed in response to the purported rumour of BMW exploring a V16 engine and testing it in a 7-Series (E32) mule, named Goldfisch V16. The W18 did not proceed past the blueprint stage, but ...
The six-cylinder 2,867 cc side-valve engine produced a maximum output of 60 PS (44 kW; 59 hp) at 3,200 rpm. In 1935 the compression ratio was increased along with maximum power which was now given as 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp). Power was delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh on the top two ratios. [5]
The M180's stroke was increased to produce the 2.5 L engine for the new Mercedes-Benz W108 250S and 250SE. A 6 mm (0.24 in) increase resulted in a bore × stroke of 82 mm × 78.8 mm (3.23 in × 3.10 in) and displacement of 2.5 L; 152.3 cu in (2,496 cc), carburetted on the 250S and fuel-injected on the 250SE, designated the M129.
