It sounds like it’s sitting in a room on a dyno. It also sounds amazing. There’s something wonderful about naturally aspirated engines, and it comes down to the aural adventure such a mill provides. This one is no exception and in fact this one is incredibly special.
In a world of forced induction and hybridization, it’s refreshing to find an automaker forgoing such technological advancements for the sake of delivering an awe-inspiring driving experience. 
Here we have a 6.5-liter V12 that’s been designed by Cosworth. Early reports suggest that it’s based on a V-8 used by the Williams F1 team back in 2010 through 2013. This twelve-cylinder beast should rev to over 11,000 rpm and it’s going to make modern F1 drivers wistfully recall the cars of years gone by.
