AMG to phase out the V12

[BIRMA]

Have to confess I read this on the other MB forum.
Shouldn't really come as a surprise I guess. Nowadays with the hot V V8 being so good.
I guess the days of being able to own a reasonably priced V12 will come to an end and only expensive esoteric cars will have V12's.

'Tis the way of the world - as manufacturers are forced to chase efficiency by government targets, V12s become V8s, V8s become V6s and so forth. My city car now has a turbo 2 cylinder which is as far as it can reasonably go, otherwise I'm going to be driving a cement mixer..

Cheers,

Gaz

Your timing couldn't have been better, as I guess a lot of people will want to scratch that V12 itch whilst you can still get one in decent condition.

Mines a keeper
Just a thing of beauty
And it goes like stink
The inside is a £170000 car no doubt

We enjoy!!!
