The V12 engine has always meant more than power. It has meant smoothness, prestige, sound, excess, luxury, racing ambition, and the belief that mechanical complexity could become beauty.

The V12 Engine: Smoothness, Status, and the Cylinder Count That Became Luxury tells the story of one of motoring's most evocative engine layouts, from early luxury cars and aviation influence to grand tourers, supercars, Formula One, endurance racing, chauffeur saloons, modern hybrids, collector culture, and the uncertain future of large combustion engines.
