Long live the V12!

The V12 engine is a technological marvel and the pinnacle of automotive engineering. There are more powerful engines with less cylinders but the V12 will always remain as a icon among car enthusiasts. Today lets appreciate the V12 engine and the incredible noise 12 cylinders at full chat can produce.

#5 Lamborghini Miura SVJ

The Lamborghini Miura SVJ was the king of Lambo back in the day and one of their rarest cars. The SVJ was built on old unused Miura S chassis and only 6 are known to exist. Last time one was at auction it fetched over $2million.

#4 McLaren F1 GTR

The McLaren F1 GTR is a racecar that was then converted for road use. These ultra rare exotics produce a raspy V12 symphony that's hard to beat. The value of McLaren F1s means you hardly ever get to see them driven so this video is a real treat considering the value of the race trady GTR versions. This sound and soul is what modern McLarens are missing.

#3 Lamborghini Aventador

What can we say? Lamborghini knows how to make a screaming V12. The Aventador took the soul of the old school V12 Lambos but made it a reliable flame thrower. Nothing on the road screams or shoots flames quite like a Lambo.

#2 Pagani Zonda

The Pagani Zonda Tricolore makes sounds that motivate me to rob a bank and buy one. The AMG derived V12 in the Zonda is a legend that powered Pagani into the hyper car forefront. This screaming V12 makes me feel things I cannot put into words.

#1 Ferrari 812 Superfast

There are a lot of great cars on this list and all of them sound incredible but I love the 812. Theres something about the noises it makes that almost sound music. It could be one of the last normally aspirated V12s for Ferrari and we should all remember this amazing machine.

    • Simon you’re correct and i feel

      Terrible considering how awesome the One 77 is. I guess it’s time for a second list 🤔

  • I won’t fault any of these 5, except I’m not sure how you generated a list of best sounding V12s without any Aston Martin representatives. Jeremy Clarkson said the DB7 made the sound of every thunderstorm ever.. and that was Aston’s most tame V12. Also classic Ferraris I think sound better than new ones.

    • Here’s my dad’s DB7 not being nearly as entertaining as the cars in your list, but not too shabby for garage/driveway.
