To simplify, the cycle of each cylinder in an engine is actually two rotations around the crankshaft (suck>squeeze>bang>blow, each for 180 degrees). And, the motion of cylinders in all engines are designed to always be in balance with each other, meaning equal and opposite reactions are paired up. In an inline-4 engine, two cylinders go up while two go down, but the cylinders within each pair are 360 degrees away from each other in their individual cycles (e.g., suck & bang for one pair, squeeze & blow for the other). Another way they’re kept in balance is the outer two cylinders rotate together, and the inner two cylinders rotate together - it’s balanced rotationally and longitudinally. But still, with this engine, there’s still only one cylinder firing every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. (Imagine pedaling a bicycle but only pressing each pedal briefly for an instant and only when they’re at the very top of their rotation. Not ideally smooth) A flat-plane crank V8 has another inline-4 attached to the same crankshaft, but the second inline-4 is 90 degrees offset in the cycle relative to the first. That means that a cylinder is now firing every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. More bangs of smoothness and power for any given RPM. (Twice as frequent presses on those bicycle pedals to get the pedals around smoothly.) But still, that’s only one bang every quarter turn. A V12 is two inline-6 engines joined at the crank, and it fires a cylinder every 60 degrees of rotation. On each bank, the 1st and 6th cylinders rotate together, then 120 degrees later the 2nd and 5th, then 120 later the 3rd and 4th. On the other bank, it’s the same, offset by 60 degrees. This particular setup is perfectly balanced and feels smooth too. There are secondary forces I haven’t gone into, and a V12 has those balanced as well. 12 times every 720 degrees of crank rotation, a cylinder fires, having to carry the weight of the rest of the rotating assembly only 60 degrees ‘til the next one fires up.
In old bmw V12 motors too, like some other older V8 and V12 engines. Lexus is no exception here But Lexus especially new models in compare RR its only more expensive toyota.

@Alfred Wedmore I am not disagreeing but just pointing out that what you are saying applies to any V12. There are a lot of V12 in existence, I dunno if they are any smoother than the Rolls-Royce seen in this video, but I am sure they are almost as smooth. You didn't mention the well-designed counterbalance has on an engine, which has a significant impact on engine smoothness. Especially those without the advantage of naturally balanced primary and secondary vibrations, but counterbalances are needed on Inline6 and V12's as well.
@Alfred Wedmore The torsion of a crank is an outcome, not a feature. It is not desired at all. You are confusing torsional harmonics with a balanced rotating and reciprocating mass.
@@livewire2534 It’s overly simple to call a V-12 two I-6’s stuck together but that’s kind of what a V-12 is. If you sawed the two V’s in half you’d be left with most of two I-6’s minus some shared parts like the crank. The V-12 is basically the big sister to the I-6. It get’s all the advantages of the I-6 and (theoretically) twice the displacement.

I see some people don't like the fact that this engine is so quiet. But it's supposed to be like that, it's not a gurgling, loud V8 or Honda Civik with a rusty exhaust that annoys everyone around. Overall, the V12s have a very balanced sound. And this is what it is.
The 'why' is that every L6 engine is naturally primary and secondary balanced. So 2 x L6 in V configuration (V12) is naturally balanced too. It's not a Rolls Royce thing, it's a (60˚) V12 thing.
@@SocietyUnplugged I think you mean L6. And yes a straight 6 is balanced and only L4's have a secondary imbalance. But the point is the frequency of the vibrations. And obviously the more cylinders, the higher frequency, so less noticeable vibrations. And a V12 is smoother than a V8.
A V12 is very ,very good balanced... The first car I know and saw with my own eyes was an BMW 8 series 1994. RR has an BMW engine, so yes, it's all true!
Friend of mine had a BMW 750i in 1998. Said to him i read that a coin wouldnt flip if you put on motor. It was possibl to EVEN start the engine and it didnt flip. 25 years ago.....
Indeed, the start is the critical point and I wouldn't be surprised some much older straightsixes doing that too. I know for sure the coin proof of smooth running was much older than 1998.

Nobody has seen the original wankel cars here? Them bad boys were smooth driving down the road because the engine was designed to spin the same direction as the wheels. They weren’t just smooth sitting still lol
Lexus did this test back in the 80s
@fhesseti7976 Jeremy Clarke's used to say -buy an Ls -460 2005 model and save yourself almost 500 ,000 pounds instead of buying the Phantom he said...
These direct injection petrols sound like a diesel at idle!
My t6 3.0 volvo kinda does too. Makes me think it’s broken sometimes
Not only direct injected, even some multi point indirect injection petrol engine sounds like this while it's recorded. Trust me, cause I did this on an indirectly injected 1.I did this on an indirectly injected 1.0litre/1.2litre N.A petrol engines.
I was expecting some technical info about why or how it's so smooth, not the age-old coin test.
There’s nothing that technically amazing about this engine vs other bmw engine it’s just a v12
Paul Rosche
To simplify, the cycle of each cylinder in an engine is actually two rotations around the crankshaft (suck>squeeze>bang>blow, each for 180 degrees). And, the motion of cylinders in all engines are designed to always be in balance with each other, meaning equal and opposite reactions are paired up.
In an inline-4 engine, two cylinders go up while two go down, but the cylinders within each pair are 360 degrees away from each other in their individual cycles (e.g., suck & bang for one pair, squeeze & blow for the other).
Another way they’re kept in balance is the outer two cylinders rotate together, and the inner two cylinders rotate together - it’s balanced rotationally and longitudinally.
But still, with this engine, there’s still only one cylinder firing every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. (Imagine pedaling a bicycle but only pressing each pedal briefly for an instant and only when they’re at the very top of their rotation. Not ideally smooth)
A flat-plane crank V8 has another inline-4 attached to the same crankshaft, but the second inline-4 is 90 degrees offset in the cycle relative to the first. That means that a cylinder is now firing every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. More bangs of smoothness and power for any given RPM. (Twice as frequent presses on those bicycle pedals to get the pedals around smoothly.)
But still, that’s only one bang every quarter turn.
A V12 is two inline-6 engines joined at the crank, and it fires a cylinder every 60 degrees of rotation. On each bank, the 1st and 6th cylinders rotate together, then 120 degrees later the 2nd and 5th, then 120 later the 3rd and 4th. On the other bank, it’s the same, offset by 60 degrees.
This particular setup is perfectly balanced and feels smooth too. There are secondary forces I haven’t gone into, and a V12 has those balanced as well. 12 times every 720 degrees of crank rotation, a cylinder fires, having to carry the weight of the rest of the rotating assembly only 60 degrees ‘til the next one fires up.
@@elliottslab I figured that, but then title of the video 'why this is the smoothest...' is misleading, there was no talk of why. Just the coin test.
@@willywillywillywillywilly
Matt should have said that 🤓
Also very expensive engine mounts 👍🏻
the v12 platform is the most smoothest engine you could buy, reasons why it is found in this luxury mf
"Why this is the smoothest engine in the world." Sooo why is it?
@Alfred Wedmore thanks for your explanation ✅👌
@Alfred Wedmore this is what I was looking for!
@Alfred Wedmore I am not disagreeing but just pointing out that what you are saying applies to any V12. There are a lot of V12 in existence, I dunno if they are any smoother than the Rolls-Royce seen in this video, but I am sure they are almost as smooth.
You didn't mention the well-designed counterbalance has on an engine, which has a significant impact on engine smoothness. Especially those without the advantage of naturally balanced primary and secondary vibrations, but counterbalances are needed on Inline6 and V12's as well.
@Alfred Wedmore They completely balance in I6 and V12, not largely. And no, they do not balance in a V8.
@Alfred Wedmore The torsion of a crank is an outcome, not a feature. It is not desired at all. You are confusing torsional harmonics with a balanced rotating and reciprocating mass.
The inherent stability of two I-6s at work. Perfect primary and secondary balance.
Fairly certain that this engine is a V12.
@@livewire2534 It’s overly simple to call a V-12 two I-6’s stuck together but that’s kind of what a V-12 is. If you sawed the two V’s in half you’d be left with most of two I-6’s minus some shared parts like the crank. The V-12 is basically the big sister to the I-6. It get’s all the advantages of the I-6 and (theoretically) twice the displacement.

I've tried on bunch of toyotas, lexuses, bmws and hondas.
You can do that on a 1991 Lexus ES300 V6 as well, nice to know the Brits/Germans have caught up.
Please tell me you aren’t serious. Lexus, I mean fancy-Toyota, has copied nearly every single technology from MB and BMW that they have ever produced. Lexus also copied this and put it in to the most mediocre boring cars to drive on the planet.
There’s a reason the average age of buyers is 63 and it’s not because of cost.
They are all grandmothers cars.

I see some people don't like the fact that this engine is so quiet. But it's supposed to be like that, it's not a gurgling, loud V8 or Honda Civik with a rusty exhaust that annoys everyone around. Overall, the V12s have a very balanced sound. And this is what it is.

How many coins would it take to get the coin back?
The sports cars out there turning into evs and thia luxury monster is using v12 twin turbo in silent mode.
So, *why* is that the smoothest engine?
The 'why' is that every L6 engine is naturally primary and secondary balanced. So 2 x L6 in V configuration (V12) is naturally balanced too. It's not a Rolls Royce thing, it's a (60˚) V12 thing.
@Sang Mang nope… 6L is in balance so V12 or w18 is perfectly balanced too.
@@SocietyUnplugged I think you mean L6. And yes a straight 6 is balanced and only L4's have a secondary imbalance. But the point is the frequency of the vibrations. And obviously the more cylinders, the higher frequency, so less noticeable vibrations. And a V12 is smoother than a V8.
@@Zaggy221 I'm sorry, I meant L6 engines.
It's BMW V12 engine and even as u said v12 balanced normally
It's a little bit a RR thing.
When my car not started, that's also smooth..

Friend of mine had a BMW 750i in 1998. Said to him i read that a coin wouldnt flip if you put on motor. It was possibl to EVEN start the engine and it didnt flip. 25 years ago.....
Indeed, the start is the critical point and I wouldn't be surprised some much older straightsixes doing that too. I know for sure the coin proof of smooth running was much older than 1998.
