I thought it was a W-16 engine? So would that be 8 2.0 engines, or am I confused?
you are confusing capacity with engine cylinders

each cylinder is 500cc so that equals a total engine size of 8 litres

hence 4 2.0 engines bolted together = 1 8 litre engine
and seeing as most 2.0 engines have 4 cyclindres, that means 16 cyliders as well
Thanks for that, I was confused then, cheers Benni.
