6.0

Oh yes, we are going big today. 6.0 Litres of engine quenching on gas and stabbing the environment. My nomination has to go to one of my favourite cars on the planet. The Volkswagen Phaeton with its unique 12 Cylinder W Shaped Engine composed of 2 VR6 Six Cylinders bolted together in a 60 Degree Angle. Poetry.

Kinja'd!!!

It probably wasn't the fastest with 444 Hp and 413 Torques (2005-2011 model), nor the most exciting or sophisticated. But I find its uniqueness of design and complexity worth it of my vote. I love the Phaeton, and hope one day I can have the pleasure of owning one.

Kinja'd!!!

So tell me, what is the best 6.0 Litre engine?

The sole purpose of the series is for you to tell me how wrong I am. Great choice of another twin bolted 6 cylinder.

Most interesting due to its layout, yes. But that does not make the W12 the best.

It has to be the Mercedes M120, in all of its naturally aspirated and turbo variations.

Haha I know, I just like VAG, but in my mind I know there are better things out there. That is a fantastic proposition.

I have to confess I actually prefer Lamborghini to Ferrari. My favourite Ferrari is the FF. Don't judge me.

Oh I agree. They sound better, look better, plus they are better value with their mid engined V12 cars costing a 1/3 the price of Ferraris.

phew.. Also, Gated Manual. And, I think the Aventador is one of the best designed modern Things. Not just cars or vehicles, things.

BMW S70/2 from the McLaren F1(its technically closer to 6.1L than 6.0L, but im going to let it slide)

Kinja'd!!! sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Vicente Esteve

So, for the first time, my response is something that doesn't sound great. In fact, it sounds like a van.

But who wouldn't want a luxury SUV with a twin-turbo diesel V12 producing 500hp and 740 lbs/ft of torque?

Kinja'd!!!

Also, if all goes well, I will hopefully be procuring a Phaeton (4,2, not 6.0) within the next month or two. I share your love for them, they are truly awesome, understated, and underrated cars!

That is Fantawesome! I really would love to own a Phaeton. Also, that Audi does sound like a van, but a van thats ANGRY
