What does a v12 engine mean compared to a v8 engine?

The V refers to the shape of the engine - the cylinders are arranged in a V shape, if you were to look at the engine from its front (note that some engines are mounted transversely, so their fronts may point to the side of the vehicle). The number denotes the number of cylinders. A V6 is a V shaped six cylinder (3 cylinders in each bank of the V). A v8, v10, and v12 should be self explanatory after that. Volkswagen makes a W12, which is composed of two connected V6s.
