Due to the ever-increasing fuel economy and emissions standards, V12 engines are a dying breed. And that's a shame because there's just something special about driving a car with a double-digit cylinder count. Test your knowledge of V12-powered cars with our quiz!
When Mercedes-Benz presented the new generation of their flagship S-Class sedan in the last weeks of 2020, the car world mourned the fact that the S-Class will no longer be offered with the iconic V12 engine (apart from the opulent Maybach versions).
V12 engines are only getting rarer and rarer. There are many factors to blame for that, starting with the ever-increasing fuel economy and emissions standards and going to the sheer cost and complexity of these sophisticated motors.
V12s have always been valued by the upper echelon of car manufacturers for their unparalleled smoothness and high performance. Nowadays, similar smoothness and performance can be achieved by V8s or even V6s, essentially rendering V12 engines obsolete.
Still, we believe that V12s and V12-powered cars should be celebrated as a pinnacle of automotive design and engineering! If you agree, jump right into our quiz to test your V12 knowledge!
