Reduced bhp = improved reliablity.

yes, yes it should make more power, but maybe it's geared for low-end torque, couldn't say, no 0-60 time

first, a bmw v12 doesn't have a "standard output" no engine has one, everything depends, cc, intakes, gearbox, everything.
second, your dumb, i don't like your signature, im not insulting you, but your signature is dumb

actually, most BMW V12's have been rated at 326 horsepower- 850Ci, 750iL etc... and generally production tolerances on an expensive engine like that are very small... so figure 1-2 horsepower difference at most on every engine. This is a stock BMW V12, that's why it doesn't have that much power. They shouldv'e used the unit from the 850CSi, but that'sjust my humble opinion.

bmw doesnt make good v12's.


the lack of hp from the v12 doesnt matter too much cuz this car only weighs 2700 lbs.

They tested the Bugatti 16.4 Veryon in Philadelphia! Yeah, Philly!

They make good enough V12's for Gordon Murray to use them atleast.
A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip.

I think 326hp aint bad for V12.Ofcourse it could have more hp but then reliability would suffer. And if you think 326hp from V12 is weak,then check Ford Crown Victorias V8 (base engine 224 hp and optional 4.6 l sohc 175 hp) That's weak,man!

Exactly, if it were so bad, why did Gordon Murray put a BMW V-12 in the McLaren F1? which BTW outputs 600-something bhp ... can't recall exactly how much.
