i agree its way shorter than a v12, i thought you could make a 'fake' v12 look attached to the cylinders. it's been around for some years now and still used in the bentley continental/ gt, the audi a8 w12, and the vw phaeton/touareg. but it was just a thought, you have to be happy with it. it's going in your car

on a side note, what about a v10? vw/audi would give you transverse gear box options or mate one to a viper engine?
