2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz V12 engines are found in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG models, specifically the 6.0L twin-turbocharged V12 engine used in the S-Class AMG. Taking the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG as an example, it is classified as a full-size luxury car with the following dimensions: length 5309mm, width 1914mm, height 1501mm, wheelbase 3165mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 80L. The 2019 S-Class AMG features a double-wishbone independent suspension at both front and rear, produces a maximum horsepower of 630PS, maximum power of 463kW, and maximum torque of 1000Nm, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
If you're asking about Mercedes-Benz models with V12 engines, I have to say they're quite rare, as V12 represents the pinnacle of luxury and power. The few I know include the Mercedes S65 AMG, which is the flagship sedan equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing over 600 horsepower—it drives incredibly smooth yet ferociously powerful. There's also the Mercedes-Maybach S650, another V12 model with a rear cabin resembling a mobile palace, offering spacious comfort ideal for business or long trips. Additionally, the V12 version of the GLS, like the GLS 600, though possibly discontinued now, previously delivered a commanding SUV presence with its high chassis and imposing stance. In short, these cars are expensive, but if you prioritize whisper-quiet refinement and explosive acceleration, they're absolutely top-tier choices—just be prepared for high fuel consumption and significant maintenance costs.
