How much horsepower can you get from a V 8 compared to a V 12?


Rate This Answer

A8 V12 engines used to be common in Formula One and endurance racing. From 1965-1980, Ferrari, Weslake, Honda, BRM, Maserati, Matra, Delahaye, Peugeot, Delage, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini and Tecno used 12-cylinder engines in Formula One, either V12 or Flat-12, but the Ford (Cosworth) V8 had a slightly better power-to-weight ratio and less fuel consumption,[citation needed] thus it was more successful despite being less powerful than the best V12s.
