Cars With V12 Engines On Sale In India

At a time when electrification and downsized turbocharged engines dominate the automotive landscape, the V12 engine has become a rarity. Once synonymous with flagship luxury cars and top-tier performance machines, 12-cylinder engines are now restricted to a select group of manufacturers catering to a very specific audience.

Despite this global shift, India continues to receive a handful of V12-powered cars, officially sold and supported by manufacturers through authorised dealerships. From ultra-luxury sedans and SUVs to high-performance grand tourers and supercars, these models represent the last stronghold of the V12 powertrain in the Indian market. Here’s a comprehensive look at all the V12 cars currently on sale in India:

It is powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 petrol engine making 563 bhp and 900 Nm of torque, and comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Rolls-Royce Ghost
