Although arguable the carburettor cars ran separately in terms of banks for air fuel. They tended to share distributor even if they had two coils.

A 12 cylinder engine running at 1000 rpm will create 750 power strokes in the same ammount of time. This affects the smoothness of the sound.

In the 60's, I6's were the typical everyday car engine, and V8's were the performance/luxury engines. However, V12's are extremely smooth, hence why non-American luxury makes used them so much, and a V12 pretty much just is two I6's put together.

Audi boasts a 6.3 W12 making 493hp (even less than the Mercedes in terms of HP/L). If we got to Japan, with Toyota, their 5L V12 makes 310hp for even less HP/L output than the underpowered Audi.

Nov 2, 2014 · Perhaps having so many cylinders per bank in v10 or 14 engine would allow better balance. But to my knowledge a v10 uses the same block as a v12 where as a v14 would require a whole new animal. It would take too much money for …

Aston’s first V12 was made when Ford bought them in the 90s, and it’s based off of the Ford Duratec V6. Still a great engine though.
