BMW Celebrates 25 Years of V12 Power - Race Cars News

There aren't a lot of automakers still making V12s, but BMW is one of them, and has been doing so for a quarter-century now. There aren't a lot of automakers offering twelve-cylinder engines these days. Jaguar has long since abandoned its V12, the Maserati's latest twelve-pot (the MC12) has long since outlived its limited production run, and McLaren (whose F1 had a dozen pistons) has now called the twelve-pot a relic of history. The V12, then, is a bit of a rarity in an industry that is being driven towards smaller, more fuel-efficient engines. But a few automakers are still making them.
