V12 engine

Smooth luxury motor

A V12 engine is an internal combustion engine with twelve cylinders arranged in two banks of six, forming a V shape.

The configuration provides exceptional smoothness and power, making it standard in luxury cars, supercars, and aircraft.

The Ferrari came with a naturally aspirated V12 engine.

The format has largely given way to smaller turbocharged engines for efficiency, but remains a mark of prestige in high-performance vehicles.
