I don't know what you're getting at with the three question marks to someguy's point about 60 degree V12's vs. flat 12's, but his point is an obvious one. A flat 12 uses up an incredible amount of real estate within the car chassis, and really only has one advantage: low Cg. Other than that, the 60 degree banked 12 is equal or better in all regards, most importantly in terms of space efficiency. That's why nobody uses flat 12's anymore.
