History of the Lamborghini V12 Engine
The Lamborghini V12 engine has to operate in perfect harmony, with each cylinder firing in sequence with the series. That's part of what makes the sound of the V12 so unmistakable, and through the decades the V12 was iterated on and made to offer peak performance in every new Lamborghini it was used in. At the turn of the century it continued to reign supreme, and modern Lamborghini models still offer the unmistakable sound and power of the V12.
It may be surprising to learn that there have only been two distinct generations of the Lamborghini V12 in over a half-century of automotive design. It has come a long way, though, with the original 3.5-liter V12 offering a relatively humble 280 horsepower in the 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT. Later iterations would showcase a 3.9-liter V12 engine that could output 380 horsepower, and improvements continue to be made today, where we see 6.5-liter V12 engines capable of generating up to 774 horsepower.Buy a New Lamborghini with a V12 Engine
