I know someone fit a Toyota V12 so I guess width and depth aren't issues at least.
Someone say's it is photoshopped !

Mr. 6ixer, the picture was in the comments section of an article about the 928 V12/6spd. I think it was from Germany, a couple years ago,
The motor is a W12 with the W photoshopped into a V. Look closley.
I've been considering this swap for a while. I already have a low mileage W12 motor.
Just gotta get it out of the wife's car without her noticing!

Cheers

The W12's can be had from a Phaeton for cheap enough... They seem a little harder to find then Cayennes but not terribly so. The most important question though is if the Phaeton's W12 is close enough to the Continental GT or Bentayga's W12 to be easily turbocharged to 600+ HP.

I would start with this:

Ironically, the 'headline' on the link is highly appropriate.

Meh. Good 'shop can be convincing. Especially on a small screen.
Haven't we leaned that on here?

For a while I believed that Scheissco was a real company,

Seriously, there was an ad campaign, "real or photoshop?" that was a lot of fun.

Cayenne v8 could work, a properly cnc'd dry sump oil pan will allow proper ground clearence, thereby allowing for a decent engine install. I prefer a conventional outboard dry sump system over the stock Cayenne dry sump in the cumbersome wetsump pan.

the W is not photoshopped. the entire engine is 'shopped into MY 928. i made that back in 2002 when the Phaeton came out.

funny how pics get around.

So that's a real 928?

Wow! I've never seen the plastic covers transplanted into a 928. It looks very well done.

Well done enough that it was easy to believe that it was simply photoshopped. I misread Dinsdale's comment, and took it to mean that the whole thing was 'shopped, not just the logo.


Nevermind. I was right the first time. It's all photoshop, not a real transplant.

My apologies.
