The V12 engine has long defined the upper tier of automotive engineering, tracing its roots back to early aviation and pre-war grand touring machines. Its naturally balanced layout delivers exceptional smoothness, while its ability to produce sustained high-speed performance made it the configuration of choice for flagship cars for decades. And then of course, you have the noise. 12 cylinders are also associated with some of the most evocative automotive sounds ever made.
Today, that legacy faces a turning point. Tighter emissions regulations and the industry’s shift toward electrification have reduced the V12 from a defining standard to a rare exception. Production volumes have contracted sharply, and development programs have narrowed to a handful of manufacturers operating at the highest end of the market.
This landscape now includes a limited group of new vehicles that continue to carry forward the 12-cylinder format. They span everything from ultra-luxury sedans, high-performance grand tourers, hybridized supercars, and a growing number of ultra-lightweight, low-volume, coachbuilt projects. In several cases, these cars are produced in quantities measured in tens, not thousands, with pricing often exceeding $300,000 and extending well beyond seven figures for bespoke, ultra-low volume builds.
It is also worth noting that not every model on this list remains available. Some niche hypercars have already been spoken for, even prior to production, effectively moving directly into private collections. Having said that, what remains is a fragmented but committed effort to preserve one of the most celebrated engine architectures in automotive history. With that, here are the final new 12-cylinder models still in production, spanning mainstream manufacturers, boutique builders, and ultra-limited programs, arranged from the most versatile to the most extreme.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan adopts the British marque's V12 engine in the popular SUV format. Now in its second generation, the Series II Cullinan offers 563 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, paired with all-wheel drive and higher ground clearance that complements RR's magic carpet ride. It handles rougher conditions without sacrificing ride quality. Rear-hinged doors open up to a luxurious cabin that mirrors the Phantom and Ghost sedans, especially in rear-seat comfort. Pricing starts near $400,000. It proves the V12 isn’t limited to low-slung cars.
Ferrari Purosangue
6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12
The Ferrari Purosangue (which translates to pure blood in Italian) adopts the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that has long done duty in some of Maranello's flagship performance cars and drops it into a four-door SUV, although Ferrari likes to call this one an FUV. Output is an impressive 725 horsepower and 528 pound-feet of torque, but the bigger story is how it delivers that power. Unlike the Cullinan, the focus is on offering a sporty drive. It revs cleanly, like a sports car, not an SUV. Rear-hinged doors and a four-seat layout make it usable, but the driving experience stays firmly in Ferrari territory, with pricing starting from $400,000.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12
The Rolls-Royce Ghost features a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 and adds a bit more driver focus compared to the flagship Phantom. Output is a healthy 563 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, but the chassis should feel more nimble owing to a smaller footprint, combined with all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering. It’s still a Rolls-Royce, but just one that encourages you to sit behind the wheel. The interior is cleaner, less ornate, but still high-end. Pricing starts around $350,000. It shows how a V12 can work in a more balanced luxury setup.
Mercedes-Maybach S 680
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12
The recently introduced S 680 closes things out as one of the last German V12 sedans. Its 6.0-liter twin-turbo engine makes 621 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, paired with all-wheel drive. The focus with this Mercedes-Maybach stays on the rear seat, with reclining chairs and advanced climate control. The cabin is more digital than traditional, but still built for comfort. It’s a reminder that even as the segment shrinks, the V12 still has a place in modern luxury. Bringing back a Landaulet variant could give Maybach a unique positioning in the flagship sedan segment. Pricing starts around $230,000, making it the most attainable V12 on this list.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12
The stately Rolls-Royce Phantom sits at the very top of the luxury sedan segment, and it continues to employ a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 in a completely different way. It produces 563 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, but those numbers are about offering effortless pace, which is why you have a power reserve meter in place of a traditional rev counter. Power delivery is smooth, quiet, and constant. The Phantom celebrated 100 years in 2025, and it has been a prefered choice of transport for people from celebrities to royals for over a century. The imposing Pantheon grille with the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy has stood the test of time. This stately Limo isolates you from the outside world, with a sumptuous ride and an onboard experience in a truly exquisite cabin that is second to none. Pricing starts above $500,000 and climbs quickly with customization.
Aston Martin Vanquish
5.2-liter twin-turbo V12
Continent crushing GT cars and V12 engines truly belong in the same sentence. Aston Martin continues to stick with that tried and tested formula even today. The flagship Aston Martin Vanquish runs a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 making 824 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Unlike some of its contemporaries, it doesn’t chase revs, but it delivers power early and consistently, which suits its grand touring focus. The chassis favors stability at speed, and the interior leans into traditional craftsmanship. Pricing starts north of $400,000. It’s a different take on the V12, less about drama, more about sustained performance, which is something we got to experience in our first drive review of the Vanquish Volante last year.
Ferrari 12Cilindri
6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12
Ferrari isn’t done with the naturally aspirated V12 just yet, when it comes to its front-engined GT cars just yet. The Ferrari 12Cilindri runs a 6.5-liter unit that revs past 9,000 rpm, pushing out 819 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. There’s no hybrid assist here, just a direct, mechanical response that feels increasingly rare. Serving as the replacement for the 812 Superfast, the long-hood front-engine GT layout keeps things very traditional, drawing design inspiration from Ferrari’s GT cars from the 1960s and ‘70s. The front fascia, in particular, is reminiscent of the 365GTB/4 Daytona. Available in both Berlinetta coupe and Spider body styles, pricing starts above $450,000. This Ferrari sets the baseline, a modern V12 that still prioritizes revs, sound, and driver connection over everything else.
Touring Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta
5.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12
Touring Superleggera is building a modern barchetta around the Ferrari 550 platform. Revealed at the Quail last year, the Veloce12 Barchetta packs a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V12 paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, keeping the experience fully analog. Output sits around 500 horsepower with a focus on balance rather than outright speed. The design leans heavily on classic proportions, with an open-top layout and hand-finished interior. Production takes 5,000 man-hours and is limited to just 15 units, with pricing expected to be above $1 million. This is less about performance numbers and more about preserving a traditional V12 driving experience.
Lamborghini Revuelto
6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 (HPEV)
The Lamborghini Revuelto retains the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 found in flagship Raging Bulls for over six decades, but adds three electric motors to the mix. Combined output clears 1,000 horsepower and more than 725 pound-feet of torque. Packaged in what is one of the more aggressive forms to come out of Centrostile, the hybrid system on the Revuelto fills in the gaps, especially at low speeds, but the V12 still dominates the experience at full throttle. A new chassis improves rigidity, and the cockpit leans heavily into digital controls. Pricing starts north of $600,000.
Pagani Utopia
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12
Pagani, meanwhile, stays committed to the V12 without adding hybrid complexity. The Pagani Utopia uses an AMG-built twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 that produces 852 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. It pairs that engine with a lightweight chassis and offers a 7-speed manual transmission, which is rare at this level. The focus is on mechanical feel, not outright numbers. Production is capped at 99 coupes, all already spoken for, with pricing starting around $2.2 million. This is a V12 hypercar built around an analog experience with driver input and craftsmanship above all else.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.33
3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12
The Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 takes a more understated approach compared to its sibling. It runs a 3.9-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 producing 607 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque, with a redline above 11,000 rpm. The focus is on lightweight construction and balance, not headline power figures. Buyers can choose a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Production is limited to 100 units, with pricing around $1.8 million. It’s a V12 built for road use, emphasizing response and simplicity over extreme performance targets.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.50
3.9-liter naturally-aspirated V12
The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 pushes the concept further. Its 3.9-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 delivers 654 horsepower and 344 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The central driving position and rear-mounted fan system define the car, generating active downforce (upto 50% more in certain drive modes) without large wings. It weighs under 2,200 pounds, keeping the focus on engagement. Production is limited to 100 units, all sold out, with pricing around $3 million. This is one of the most driver-focused V12 hypercars ever built.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda
3.9-liter naturally-aspirated V12
The T.50s Niki Lauda takes the core concept of the T.50 and removes any road-going compromise. Named after the famed Austrian Formula 1 driver, it packs the same 3.9-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 that now produces 725 horsepower and 357 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed paddle-shift transmission optimized for track use. A prominent front splitter, a new delta wing, along with the rear-mounted fan, remains central to the car’s performance, generating significant downforce. Weight drops to around 1,870 pounds, improving response and braking. Production is limited to 25 units, all sold out, with pricing starting around $4.3 million. This is a V12 built entirely around track performance and driver precision.
GMSV Le Mans GTR
4.0-liter naturally aspirated V12
The GMSV Le Mans GTR targets purists. An analog, exotic through and through, it employs a further-optimized version of the high-revving Cosworth V12, upsized to 4.0 liters, and puts out around 650 horsepower, paired with a manual transmission and a central driving position. The three-seater layout and philosophy draw clear inspiration from classic endurance racers, but with modern materials and engineering. Featuring a prominent fixed rear wing and longtail bodywork, weight is kept low to prioritize response and driver engagement. Production is limited to only 24 units, all already allocated, with pricing undisclosed.
Eccentrica Pacchetto Titano
5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12
Eccentrica reinterprets the Lamborghini Diablo with modern engineering while retaining its original V12 architecture. The Pacchetto Titano package enhances the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter engine to produce over 550 horsepower and roughly 442 pound-feet of torque that pairs with a 6-speed manual. Suspension, braking, and interior systems are upgraded to contemporary standards, while the exterior maintains its iconic wedge shape defined by Marcello Gandini. Production is extremely limited, with pricing around $1.5 million. This is not a new V12 program, but a refined continuation of an existing one through a restomod approach.
Garagisti & Co GP1
6.6-liter naturally aspirated V12
The GP1 is another project from Garagisti & Co, from a British-Italian startup positioned as a low-volume hypercar that packs a 6.6-liter V12 with 789 horsepower paired to a 6-speed manual. Priced from $3.1 million and production limited to just 25 units, the GP1 represents the experimental edge of the V12 landscape, where concepts and limited builds continue to explore the configuration’s future.
Vittori Turbio
6.8-liter naturally aspirated V12
The Vittori Turbio remains one of the more obscure entries. Revealed in October last year, at the Concours Club in Miami, this is a flagship V12 hypercar that was designed by Pininfarina. Vittori combines AI-assisted design, additive manufacturing, and race-bred engineering into its next-generation hypercars. The powerplant is a 6.8-liter V12 that pairs with an electric motor on the front axle for a combined 1,100 horsepower. Priced from $2.5 million, production will be limited to only 50 units.
Giamaro Katla
7.0-liter quad-turbocharged V12
The Giamaro Katla represents a new entrant into the V12 space. The Italian hypercar features a quad-turbocharged 7.0-liter V12 engine with Rear Wheel Drive and a 6-speed manual transmission. The standard configuration offers 1,647 horsepower with outputs beyond 2,000 horsepower for the more extreme variant, placing it among the most powerful cars under development. The focus is on extreme performance, supported by aggressive aerodynamics and a lightweight structure. Details remain limited, and the project is still in early production stages. Pricing is expected to exceed $2 million. This is a V12 built to push boundaries, though real-world delivery timelines and specifications are still evolving.
Zenvo Aurora
6.6-liter quad-turbocharged V12
Zenvo takes a different direction with the Aurora. It combines a quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter quad-turbo V12 with a hybrid system, delivering up to a combined 1,850 horsepower depending on configuration. Two variants are planned for the Zenvo Aurora, one focused on track performance (Agil) and the other on road usability (Tur). The engine pushes well beyond traditional V12 limits, both in output and complexity. Production is limited to 100 units total, with pricing starting at $2.8 million. This is a V12 designed to compete in the hypercar power race while integrating modern hybrid technology.
De Tomaso P900
6.2-liter naturally aspirated V12
The De Tomaso P900 pushes De Tomaso into a very different space. It packs a bespoke 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V12 developed with ItalTecnica and Capricorn, which puts out 888 horsepower and around 650 pound-feet of torque. There’s no hybrid system, no road homologation, just a high-revving engine designed for track use. This hypercar is built around a lightweight carbon chassis with aggressive aerodynamics and a focus on driver control. The overall aesthetic pays homage to Le Mans prototypes of the 1960s and '70s. Production is limited to just 18 units, with pricing starting around $3 million.
Gordon Murray Special Vehicles S1 LM
4.3-liter naturally-aspirated V12
Revealed at Monterey Car Week last year, the S1 LM marks the first commission from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles. As GMSV's first vehicle, “S1” denotes “Special One,” born from the customer's passion for Gordon's 1990s designs and his landmark 1995 win at Le Mans. At its core sits a larger 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 that produces over 700 horsepower, revving to 12,100 rpm. The engine is mounted centrally and paired with a manual gearbox derived from the T.50, delivering short, precise shifts. A revised aerodynamic package replaces the rear fan with a front splitter, rear diffuser, and dual-element wing. With one example having already achieved a record $20.6 million at auction last year, production is limited to five road-legal units, with deliveries beginning in 2026.
Delage D12
7.6-liter naturally-aspirated V12
The Delage D12 leans heavily into motorsport influence. It uses a naturally aspirated 7.6-liter V12 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined output of up to 1,100 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque. The central seating position follows a tandem layout, similar to a Formula 1 car. Weight reduction and aerodynamics are central to its design. Production is extremely limited at just 30 units, with pricing starting around $2 million. It represents a modern interpretation of the V12, blending traditional engine architecture with hybrid assistance and race-inspired packaging. Delage CEO Laurent Tapie shared more insights about the revival of the historic Delage brand in an exclusive interview with duPont REGISTRY in December last year.
