In SOMETHING! I don't think there's a better sounding engine configuration. So.....what about one in a -10? VW has what they call a W12- basically two narrow angle V6's on a common crank- 6 liters, 414hp in naturally aspirated trim. Could make an easy 300hp for a nice peppy -10, and sound like no other Some pics and a video for auditory pleasure:

Just imagine a -10 with 6 REAL exhaust stacks sticking out each side of the cowling
I've always wanted a V12.....

Now that is neat. I would love to see the bottom end with the rods connected to the crank.. Cool!

Hmmm....what kind of climb rate do you think a 400hp "Super Duper" -7 would have?
