Very interesting, personally think the Jaguar V12 sitting in its engine bay is an engineering work of art. Thanks for posting.

Having dismantled and rebuilt my V12, it was a pleasure to work on and definitely a superb design, incredibly smooth and understressed. hats off to these two designers. Great video, thanks for uploading.... 👍🇬🇧

Thanks for the feedback. We are also currently rebuilding one of our own V12s, great design just sometimes a little miss understood

I have an xj40 6 liter it's a wonderful engine I've run it up the red line many times it's always surprising not the greatest on fuel economy around 11 mi a gallon in the city 18 on the highway on 87 octane their effortless going through the mountains. You hardly ever see any of these v12 on the road anymore they were brilliant you don't think so try making your own engine

What do you mean by trolling? My understanding of trolling is deliberately posing questions or making comments to bait or upset somebody - I don’t believe that’s what this guy is doing. Certainly he’s interviewing 71 style, which is When often non-technical interviewers would be given a set of questions to ask, and would post them at the specific times and let the people answer them, but that is not trolling
