V12 engines somehow exemplify the phrase “there is no replacement for displacement.” Various carmakers, including BMW, have employed V12 engines in their most potent vehicles. Now, BMW is saying goodbye to V12 engines. To commemorate this latest development, BMW will offer The Final V12 — a limited series of the last 12 vehicles with a V12 engine under the hood.
Last 12 BMW Vehicles With V12 Engines
This June BMW will build the last road-going V12 engine, each of which is a 6.6-liter unit with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology. Thanks to two mono-scroll turbochargers, infinitely variable valve control (Double VANOS and Valvetronic) as well as high-precision direct injection, BMW’s final V12 engines can deliver up to 601 hp available between 5,500 and 6,500 rpm.
This V12 engine will serve as the core of The Final V12, which are essentially special, limited versions of the BMW M760i xDrive. Mated to an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission, this V12 allows The Final V12 to zoom from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
Limited Edition Series With Exclusive Elements
The Final V12 will be distinguishable from the standard M760i xDrive with their unique badging, wheels, and exterior colors and upholstery from BMW Individual. For instance, they will feature a bold “V12” icon at the rear, replacing the “M760i” badge. They will also feature Threshold plates and an engine cover plaque with the “The Final V12” lettering. A center console-mounted plaque “The Final V12” and “1 OF 12” mark the exclusivity of the special model.
All 12 models will ride on 20-inch M Double-Spoke wheels Style 760M (in Window Grey or Jet Black) shod performance run-flat tires (with burnished accent). M Sport brakes with black or blue calipers hide behind the wheels. Customers can choose from over 80 exterior colors.
The interior dons a BMW Individual Piano Black Finish trim, although customers avail of several tones of opulent Full Merino leather from BMW Individual.
The Final V12 Available Only To US Customers
BMW will offer each of The Final V12 units in a fully-equipped configuration, which includes BMW’s Driving Assistance Professional Package, Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight, Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof, and Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound Audio System as well as Luxury Rear Seating Package.
BMW will sell The Final V12 only to customers in the United States. The carmaker will commence production of The Final V12 in June 2022, and start deliveries in July. Each unit comes with an MSRP of $200,000 excluding $995 in destination charges.
