How many cylinders does a Rolls-Royce have?

I’m looking for a luxury car that also has a lot of power behind it. I know these are going to be way above my budget, but I’m still curious: how many cylinders does a Rolls-Royce have?

The right Rolls-Royce could definitely deliver on both those fronts! For those who can afford them, of course. How many cylinders a Rolls-Royce has will depend on the engine it’s equipped with—in most cases, that number is 12 cylinders.
A good majority of new Rolls-Royces are equipped with either a 6.8-liter, 6.7-liter, or 6.6-liter V12 engine, including the following:
  • Phantom
  • Phantom Extended
  • Cullinan
  • Ghost
  • Ghost Extended
  • Dawn
  • Wraith
That provides plenty of power behind the cars on the Rolls-Royce lineup—as they should for their price tags. The vehicles listed above have capabilities that range from more than 550 to nearly 630 hp and 600 to nearly 670 lb-ft of torque.
On the forthcoming all-electric Spectre, that oft-used V12 will be swapped out for electric motors with an anticipated 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque.
If you’re looking for other luxury brands that pack plenty of power across their lineup, there are still plenty of other options out there. Consider looking into brands like
Volvo
, Range Rover, Bentley,
Audi
, or Mercedes.
