Unfortunately future cars are unlikely to sport W12 engines. Two things are standing in the way. First is the electrification of cars, which is happening at a rapid rate. Bentley already offers a hybrid Bentayga, and the VAG group has made massive strides in electrification. The Porsche Taycan and Audi e-Tron GT are perfect examples. The second problem is the fact that there is a replacement for displacement. The VAG group's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is widely used in its performance cars, and in some cases, is a much better fit. We'd have a V8 Continental GT over the W12 any day of the week.
