The origional car had two northstar V8 engines joined, atleast that is what I remember. The production caddy will make do with a V12 out of 2 HFV6's.
Creating a V12 or V16 isnt as hard or as difficult as it sounds. If you can machine and cast a block, then its basically like any other engine build up. Except you have twice the displacement. Big displacement means big torque. Big torque and revs equal big power. I had a plan to make a V12 out of the falcon six. But I don't have the time nor the cash to play with such a project. Shame really. Looks like holden is going to be able to do it. And good on em! V12 Grange/Caprice would allow holden to take it to the next level. It could compete openly with BMW and Merc, nodoubt at a lower price. Radar cruise control, presafe, video parking assist. Charge $160,000 for it and it would be a bargin. |
