V12 engines will still be around, just only in highly specialized cars made more for collectors than actual drivers.
V12s do make a sexy note..and just saying it, "V12", you are talking power! but think of it this way..forced induction to a V8, can produce just as much if not more power, save weight, and have reasonable fuel economy.
that's a bold comment, saying they belong in museums. I lost a bit of respect for mclaren right there :,(
the new mclaren and bmw M5 sound like I4's hopefully this car will have a nice exhaust note
no I agree with the other guy...I think they typoed ...they aren't using 4 cylinder engines
I would make an ultra-light car with a BMW Twin turbo straight six from the M3
Description: On the other hand, V12s command the ultimate bragging rights (or penultimate, anyway, once you take the sixteen-cylinder Bugatti Veyron into account), and naturally have the capacity to - even if they...

Personally, I'd have developed for me and my usage a 4-line, dual-V 16-cylinder engine with the cylinders in a format like this: \| |/ . Eh? High-power possibilities much?
Id go for a Smaller V8, like a 3L, maybe even 2.8, something alot like the F40
muscle cars V8's are only good for launch and acceleration but they suck for top end well exotic V8's can do better i think they should make this mclaren 4.5 liters instead
@Majed Yeah bro, muscle car engines are lazy. That's why it's easy to build them past 1500 horsepower, and are used in all top ten of the worlds fastest street legal cars, the first being a TT454 1963 Corvette that's runs a 6.9 1/4 mile at 215 mph.
Personally a car can't just have a V8 or V12. You don't think of a Chevrolet Impala with a V12? Makes complete sense why Lamborghini sticks with their known V12 engineered vehicles, because that's what is expected.
I'd like a 1.5 liter turbocharged 8 cylinder. Preferably on a super light chassis
What happened to all the v12s? God I hate Eco people... How the he'll do you make a Lamborghini Eco friendly....??? This is just sad
I'd have the pagani. The point of a super car is to be loud and insane and crazy, because they are the only ones able to pull it off. Go with a v12 keep it crazy
There are two kinds of V8 a quick small capacity one like in The Maclaren and a big lazy one in muscle cars
I would take a V10 because of the sound and is lighter than a v12
If I had the money for a supercar, it would have a V12. And the name "Pagani" would be on the car.
Maybe it's bc I'm a huge muscle car fanatic, but I love a huge V8. I like my supercar to brute force, kinda like the Venom GT.
I'll have 8 too because I'm a huge corvette fan but the 10s and 12s must stay!!!
I'll go with the V8, its not because I'm moving with the times though, its because its common sense. We have hypercars making 1200+ hp V8s with only two turbos. the engines are smaller, lighter, more efficient, more reliable, and IMO have better sounds.
Give me one cyl for all i care. As long as it looks and sounds great on a track i wouldnt mind.
@Lee, yes you can. Lancia did it first, and im pretty sure that the SSC ultimate Aero or some other hypercar like it has that
I'll take eight and I was wondering if you could put a supercharger and a turbo at the same time
... And make sure you have "adequate" life insurance to go with them, lol
That would look so bad ass in my garage...or in my car for that matter lol
It's not so much the turbo set up ( but it does help) as all the internals capable of running the rpm. I had a 91 z32tt with aftermarket cams and valve train with stock turbos and pistons. With that I could rev out to 8000rpm.
It is a 6.0xx liter engine so it could go either way
Pretty sure it was a 6.1-liter
