diesel for torque, MAN v12 has 1750 bhp

 

could be a slight task fitting that in a car however i like your thinking!

They are a bit crap really. Bmw m70 suffers oval bores, the jag is older than gods dog, merc engine just about fits in an s class. So, Aston is your only choice unless you fancy a w12 from a pheaton or audi a8

Direct injection Bmw 760 twin turbo b60 with 8 speed zf box might be an option.

i'd be all over a merc v12 if it were a v12 i ws after. Big capacity and ripe for boost. The 90's one's are simple looking things too, the bmw v12's look to be a nightmare electronically, there was a time when i dreamt of a 5.0 v12 out of an 850 in an e30 325, youth makes you dumb like that i suppose.

ok after much research really after an older (ish) merc or bmw v12 with decent hp and torque figures.this is just in idea at the moment but if i can get one there will be a nice audi 4.2l v8 for sale

My weapon of choice would be a 5.5L Twin turbo lump from an SL600, 500BHP and 391 lbs/ft !!

 

What's your budget?
