Best V12 Cars Ever

The V12 is the crown jewel of the internal-combustion engine — the layout that gave us the Ferrari 250 GTO, the McLaren F1, every great front-engined Lamborghini and Pagani's hand-built masterpieces. Perfectly balanced, spine-tingling at full song and increasingly endangered, the twelve-cylinder is the sound enthusiasts will miss most as the world electrifies. This ranking gathers the finest V12 cars in our collection and ranks them by horsepower, from modern naturally aspirated screamers to turbocharged grand tourers and the odd racing homologation special. Each links to a full profile — specs, top speed, the engine's exact configuration and its story — a love letter to the greatest engine architecture ever fitted to a road car.
