They already have problems balancing a V-10. This would only amplify the balance problems. Not to mention the weight of the engine. Better to just stick to the proven good engine layouts like 90 degree V-8s and 60 degree V-12s. A V-20 would be aweful. They already have problems balancing a V-10.

It has 553lb-ft of torque in the Speed, which is significantly less than the 738, but the extra 150hp more than makes up for it. Mercedes seemed to have the same philosophy when they got rid of their torquemonster supercharged 55 AMG models for the new 6.2. The W12TT would probably make the arnage even less expensive, but would make it look absolutely pointless next to the Flying Spur.

That certainly makes more sense. But at the same time, doesn't the W12 from the Continental GT make similar power to the V8 in the Arnage now? The V8 makes what, 500 hp and 738 lb ft tq or something like that? And the W12 makes 550 hp right? I'm not sure if that torque figure / W12 hp figure is correct, but that's what I think it is. If they could get 600 hp out of the W12 that would make the most sense, but if it would retain 550 hp in the Arnage I can see why they'd just up the ante and go w/ the W16.
