Of course Tommy. They are completely different though. (I know my VW's/Audi's Haha). They also have the W-8 that fits where a V-6 normally does. It is not a perfectly offset W like this new motor though. They take 6 cylinders on one side in the case of the W-12, and stagger them, they do the same on the other side. The furthest in cylinders (towards the middle) never really come close to each other so it isn't really the same thing. (I know you proably know this just trying to explain it for everyone else.) The W motor in the link is similar to the wenkel in the sense that it fires on 3 axis's, but they are not a perfect 120* apart like the wenkel rotary.


W-9 Motor in the link:

O....O....O

VW's W-12
O..........O
...O....O...
O..........O

Or they are like this.... I am doubting myself now:
O......O....
....O......O
O......O....

....O......O


I think that is about the best way to represent the cylinders on a keyboard.... The view would be looking down from the top.
