You want a V12? Here you go... an early carb’d version of the Jaguar V12 found in the series 3 E-Type:

... good for around 250HP.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a WHIRR-ZING!/SCREE-WHOOSH and a BRAPPP and several of those other turbonic sounds, but guys. GUYS:

Lots of little jiggyjugs and a pipe organ.

I have become a F1 fan recently and watched pretty much each race the past two-three years, and I was reading Adrian Newey’s book, how to build a race car, or something along those lines.  And he retells some of the old races so I was watching old footage on F1tv and came across some of the older generation cars, and holy hell did they sound awesome!  It was simply amazing the difference in the experience of watch one of the older races with the NA cars screaming down the track...  really makes the current cars disappointing in their sound.

Ever since Mercedes-Benz went to turbo V12s for the CL / S Coupe, it hasn’t ben the same.

Which makes me realize that the Lexus LC500 is the only large grand tourer without a turbo engine.

I secretly (not so secretly anymore) want to swap an N73 BMW V12 into an E92 coupe... Probably not an easy engine to source and who knows how the BMW electronics would play along, but 6 liter NA DOHC V12 in a smallish coupe would be a hell of a grand tourer
