They have built 5 before but no videos of them running?

Either way, this is badass. Wasn't GM working on a V12 for Cadillac but it got scrapped?

They had a V16 prototype in the Sixteen, not sure if they were working on a V12

More or less it was a pair of LS2s with AFM sharing a crankshaft

Either way, it's too bad it never made it into production.

Indeed. I heard that it was almost approved for production though. Would have made for an awesome flagship for the brand.

Although there is another large RWD car in the works for Cadillac, being based off the Ciel concept from year or two ago.

Wasn't the v12 in the CIEN concept? that was a badass car.

Dave McFly · 05-09-2013, 12:16 AM
