I can’t help but think that it’s a pushrod design rather than OHC due to the narrowness and roominess compared to it’s production mates.

More likely just the V12 with another 4 cylinders tacked on, just for kicks.

They actually almost used this instead of the v12. But it produced too little mpg. So they put them in a warehouse and forgot about them until johnny English or whatever his name is

It was just the standard V12 with 4 extra cylinder, so still a DOHC design. The roominess comes from the fact that the RR Phantom is just huge to start with.

They didn’t even modify the displacement of cylinders: 6.75*12/8=9

Your statement is correct, but your equation is wrong. it should be (6.75/12)*16=9
