... a promise to myself.

A promise that I will own a car with a V12 within my lifetime. Doesn't matter how shitty (old Jaaaaag XKS/BMW 850ci) or awesome (Lamborghini Aventador) the car is, I will have an automobile powered by twelve cylinders in a "V" formation. They are awesome.

—That is all

An older XJ 12 might be relatively affordable.

If you die, and you have not, Oppo will show up at your funeral and mock you.

Godspeed, that's a noble mission.

"Relatively".

... when compared to an Aventador.

I second this. It will require some love but I have always wanted one. I may jump on this promise band wagon.

You'd do well to consider the Jaguar XJR-15. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

OH YES. That will be sufficient

Somebody at my work drives a Mercedes SXXX 2 door with a V12. looks to be early 2000's but as evidenced by my not knowing the proper number scheme I'm not a Mercedes guy. I don't even know if it's a cool car, but he DD's it.

OR... we'll show up, and put his dead body into a V12 powered car, and relive weekend at bernies, only then it will be Weekend at Moarpowerrs.

Yeahhh, its probably an S600. It has a 6.0L V12. They are also pretty awesome. Mercedes also builds a twin turbo version of that engine called in cars with the "65" designation (ex. SL65 AMG), those are also pretty sweet, but unfortunately they dont sound as nice as the NA one.

I like that idea. Sounds like a plan!

I've toyed around with the idea of dropping a Jag v12 from the mid '80s into a '67 r '68 Mustang Fastback. I know power and reliability would each be sacrificed. But that sweet noise of a V12 coming from a Mustang would almost be worth it.

that would be sooo sweet; A v12 Jaaagtang.

Its funny cause I am posting this right now from my work at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services head office in Canada. I am surrounded by Mercedes-benz products and corporate marketing all day!

LOL

I'm posting this from one of Ford/Lincoln and Audi's Ad Agencies.

No I cannot in anyway properly explain how we have those 3 brands under one roof.

You have audi but not any other VAG brand, and instead you have ford/lincoln? hmm interesting...

We had Ford/Lincoln first actually. But somehow picked up a couple pieces of Audi business. We are now split 50/50 on billings. Half Ford/Lincoln and half Audi. Oh, and I'm one of the very very few that works on all 3 brands.

FORD!

I'm an american car obsessive fan. I will never own a foreign brand car.

Yes I know that puts me in a bit of a box, but I'm just wired that way!

I checked on the Mercedes in the lot for you, it's a S600 like you suspected!
