Mercedes-Benz Will Keep Using V12 Engines Into The Next Decade

It turns out that buyers of expensive flagship models love their cylinder counts. It’s why Bugatti is pushing forward with a V16, why boutique automakers keep designing new bespoke 12-cylinder engines, and why Pagani uses an engine that’s now well over 20 years old. And now, it’s why Mercedes-Benz has committed to keeping 12-cylinder power under the hood well into the next decade, even in Europe where ever-stricter emissions make big engines a bigger challenge.
