Volkswagen Group is the only automotive manufacturer currently producing W16 engines. These engines are most notably used in the Bugatti Veyron and Bugatti Chiron.

It included a V-shaped dip at the bottom of the radiator and mesh grilles on either side of the engine compartment. Lowering the car was a major undertaking. The rear axle now passed through the rear frame rather than riding under it, and a dry-sump lubrication system was required to fit the engine under the new low hood. The 57S had a nearly-independent suspension in front, though Ettore despised that notion.

The Bugatti EB110 from 1991 and the concept car Ford GT90 from 1995 uses a quad-turbo V12. The Offenhauser turbocharged engine was one of the early uses of turbocharging in motorsport, when it competed at the Indianapolis 500 in 1966, with victories coming in 1968 using a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger.
