A four-stroke V12 engine has even firing order at V-angles of 60, 120, or 180 degrees [1] [unreliable source] Many V12 engines use a V-angle of 60 degrees between the two banks of cylinders. [2] V12 engines with other V-angles have been produced, sometimes using split crankpins to reduce the unbalanced vibrations. The drawbacks of V12 engines ...
As with other V12s and straight-six engines, Renault's design had the inherent advantage of primary and secondary engine balance. The 60 deg angle between two rows of 6-cylinders resulted in even firing intervals for smooth power delivery and gave the engine a narrower profile than Renault's 90 deg V8s thereby reducing aerodynamic drag.

The first engine to use the S70 name is a 5,576 cc (340.3 cu in) variant of the M70 engine fitted only to the E31 850CSi. [17] With 1,510 units produced, this is the lowest production BMW engine to date. [18] Three prototype dual overhead camshaft S70 engines were constructed, prior to the decision to not produce an E31 M8 model. [19] Applications:
At Weslake, Harry's son-in-law Michael Daniel headed the design effort, which resulted in a 3.0-litre 60° V12 with double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and, in a departure from the earlier Type 58, dry cylinder liners. Weslake called it the WRP-190, while it was generally known as the Ford-Weslake V12. [7] [13]
The engine was designed from the start to be a quad cam 60 degree V12 - as an intentional snub to Ferrari's single overhead camshaft per-bank design. When the 3,464-cubic-centimetre (211.4 cu in) prototype was tested in 1963, it was able to produce 370 brake horsepower (276 kW; 375 PS) at 9,000 (rpm), or almost 107 brake horsepower (80 kW; 108 ...
The Rolls-Royce Griffon is a British 37-litre (2,240 cu in) capacity, 60-degree V-12, liquid-cooled aero engine designed and built by Rolls-Royce Limited.In keeping with company convention, the Griffon was named after a bird of prey, in this case the griffon vulture.
An evolution of the 1964 DOHC prototype “XJ13” engine, the Jaguar V12 engine is a family of SOHC internal combustion V12 engines with a common block design, that were mass-produced by Jaguar Cars for a quarter of a century, from 1971 to 1997, mostly as 5.3‑litres, but later also as 6‑litres, and 7‑litre versions that were deployed in racing.
Otherwise the general design of the engine was left relatively unchanged, and like its predecessor its general construction was derivative of the air-cooled Renault V-8 engines of the time, such as the 60 hp V-8 type. The V-12 engine had its two rows of cylinders angled at 60 degree to each other and had a cylinder bore of 96 mm and a stroke of ...
