Message: [QUOTE="TexRex, post: 13401399, member: 251216"] [Color=#bf5700][b]Okay but why the 599's V12? The 6.3-liter F140 is based on the same architecture, except it's a contemporary to the turbo V8, and it has more specific output in even its mildest spec as utilized in the GTC4Lusso than any road-going 599, plus it hase more usable torque without resorting to the longer stroke 6.5-liter unit. If you're disrupting the dynamics by switching to a longer and possibly heavier engine (I know the V8's induction system doesn't weigh nothing), what's particularly advantageous about the one in the 599? I understand the allure of a V12, but I've driven a California T and that turbo 3.9 is kind of fantastic with all the torque it offers.[/b][/Color] [/QUOTE]
