Sad to see the V12 dying out. Love mine.

Though the sound of a V12 can be quite amazing, that engine configuration would probably still seem very special to you if you went completely deaf. Honestly, one of the most amazing SOUNDING cars I ever heard was a Ferrari... Oh - and that PARTICULAR Ferrari only had 4 pistons banging away. And, yeah, it is worth more than most from the stable that have 12 of them. |

People have been forecasting the death of the V12 for some time but it's still there though for a niche market.
I can't imagine Lambo or Ferrari stopping their V12 line any time soon. Buyers are still there. |

You are probably correct "but" then again Ferrari doesn't offer a manual transmission in any current vehicle. Things do change.

I'm probably in the minority here but I welcome the electric performance car. I owned a v12 Ferrari for a few years (F12 Berlinetta). It was truly a magnificent machine but..... It threw off a lot of heat. It lived at the gas station. The sound was very nostalgic but it grew tiresome. (Don't flame me, this is a personal opinion).
I now have a Tesla Model S Performance. The acceleration easily surpasses that of the 740 HP F12. It's comfortable. Incredibly quiet. And it's a beast when you want that rush of linear, heart stopping torque. Time marches on. In a few generations, ICE supercars will be relegated to classic car shows. Cincy
