I'd much rather have that engine in a BMW.
If the carlton was left to look like a sleeper, then fair enough, but because it has chrome stickers, gash wheels and an M badge on the back, its all just soooo wrong.

They did indeed, same bore and stroke as the V12, just 4 more cylinders.
Fitted it into an E32 7er with a 6 speed Getrag 'box from the 8er.
They only made one, just to see if it was viable.
There's a feature in BMW Car this month, makes interesting reading.

There's another engine which works in a similar fashion but I can't think what it was.
Might be the Toyota V12 from the Century Limousine.
