Rolls Royce's new V12

Rolls Royce is known for their reluctance to talk performance numbers like the usual car manufacturers. I think their rationale is that when you can afford a Rolls, you have transcended way WAY beyond comparing with Mr Jones' ride.

Being Carbon Clad though, we HAVE to tell you the numbers for the gorgeous example above which we seen recently - a twin-turbo V-12 engine displacing 6.6L and making over 500-hp. Torque figures have not been officially revealed but is speculated to be in the vicinity of a garguantuan 533lb-ft.

Oh, the 200ex experimental car housing this new engine is not too shabby as well.
