Yeah beyondloaded, thats kind of what I said. They used the two V6's in a show car, but the actual v12 was something different all together. Not trying to be argumentative, but it's a common misconception that needs to be cleared up. I'm sure your source is reputable, but he was still only an engineer at Ford, and drivetrain at that. I've worked for Ford and know first hand that due to the size of Ford's company umbrella, the Ford guys know little about the Jag guys, who know little about the Rover guys, etc etc. In fact, people within Ford usually aren't privy to info even within their own company, powertrain doesn't know suspension and steering, etc. Especially so on high-profile, high-secrecy projects. I just happen to know one of the engineers of the Aston v12, and there were only 3 or 4 of them if I remember correctly. Besides, just thinking about it, it shouldn't make sense that you could weld two v6's to come up with a proper v12. You would have mismatches with vibration, firing order, stress load per inch on the crank, valve lag due to torsional deflection on the longer crank, the list goes on. A correct V12 needs to be designed as a V12, not two V6's. I can't vouch for this web source, but i did a brief google and came up with http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=113&i=4471. I imagine the V12 your friend worked on was the pre-production unit built for the concept Indigo or concept db7.

[GritMaster]

the First Gen Elises Are Beaaaaaautys... 3rd (i think they're on 3rd now) are kinda ugly

1st and 2nd gens arent street legal in america

I like the little 190S it's practically an elise but nothing inside... and with 200HP bound to be fun

Personally I'm a bigger fan of the little wedge though.
AKA the Esprit.

Gimme an Exige. The size of the Elise, with a LOT more power...

[street_racer_00]

I like the esprit too...just because it is a pure sports car, with no frou-frou found in other high-end exotics...the worse an everyday driver it is, the better.
