http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/04/09/bmw-760-li-has-been-revealed/#more-11778
completely new 6.0-litre V12 all-aluminum engine with Twin-Turbo Technology

The V12 engine outputs 544 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 533 lb-ft at 1,500. The wheelbase has been extended by 5.5 inch providing more passenger space and comfort. As expected, the BMW 760 runs from 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and it offers improved fuel consumption over the previous model by 4.5 per cent.

BMW 760i and 760Li will be offered in both rear-wheel-drive but also all-wheel-drive.

The engine is pretty impressive (especially the photography of it), but the front end of the car still isn't doing anything for me.

is all alu engine a fact to be proud of? the crankshaft in alu !>?| I wonder how long this engine will live.

i'm more proud of the M10 engine who can survive an oil deprive and get back to work 20 minutes after.

Impressive! However, I wonder about longevity and how “re-buildable” these new power plants are? Or are they designed to be more appliance-like/disposable compared to the older stuff?!?!?

However unattractive car this may be the numbers are certainly impressive. I could find a better home for that engine
