12 CYLINDER V-Engine
What engine is the 12 cylinder V-engine: a V12 engine is a twelve-cylinder piston engine where two banks of six cylinders are arranged in a V configuration around a common crankshaft.
What is the 12 cylinder V-engine displacement: it is in a range between 3500 cc and 7312 cc in recent model line up powertrain.
How much is the power of the 12 cylinder V-engine: the power of the 12 cylinder v-engine is in a range from 264 bhp to 860 bhp.
Which cars use 12 cylinder V-engine: few automotive manufacturer engineered and built V12 engines.
Ferrari V12 engine powered Testarossa with a DOHC head and 4942 cc displacement and then 456,512,F50,Enzo, all iconic latest models including 812 and Purosangue.
Jaguar V12 engine was an all-aluminium SOHC design with displacements of 5.3-6.0 L (323-366 cu in) that was produced from 1971 to 1997 in the E-Type, XJS and XJ.
BMW production of V12 engines began with the BMW M70 SOHC engine introduced in the 1987 E32 7 Series luxury sedan. It was upgraded to a DOHC V12 engine in 2003, then to a turbocharged DOHC V12 engine which has been in production from 2008 to the present in the 7 Series. BMW V12 engines have also been used in several Rolls-Royce models, beginning in 1998.
Mercedes-Benz first V12 engine was the M120 engine, a 6.0 L (366 cu in) DOHC engine introduced in the 1991 Mercedes-Benz 600 SE luxury sedan. It was replaced by a SOHC V12 engine in 1998 upgraded to turbocharged which has been in production for 2003 to the present.

In the United States, no mass-produced V12 engines have been built since the 1940s, with U.S. manufacturers preferring to use large displacement V8 engines instead.
In China, the 2009 Hongqi HQE limousine, powered by a 6.0 L (366 cu in) DOHC V12 engine, is the sole Chinese car to be produced with a V12 engine.
What is the 12 cylinder V-engine angle: V12 engine use a V angle of 60 degrees between the two banks of cylinders. Each bank of a V12 engine essentially functions as a straight-six engine with perfect primary and secondary engine balance and outstanding smoothness: at any given time, three of the cylinders in a V12 engine are in their power stroke, reducing gaps between power pulses.
Racing use of 12 cylinder V-engine: V12 engines are not the choice in last seasons but were often used in the past in Formula One. The first V12 engine used in Formula One was in the 1964 Honda RA271 and in 1966 season V12 engines was the choice with new V12 engines from Ferrari, Maserati, and Weslake.
