It is important to note that both Mercedes and Jaguar have historically catered to a distinct and limited market for the V12 engine.
The V12s exemplify understated luxury, equipped with several features, yet operate quietly.
The AMG, or XJR, has consistently been the prominent sporty option: loud exhaust, several sports features, enhanced seats, and a significantly elevated silhouette.
The AMG models surpassed the V12s, such as the SL600, by a ratio of 13:1, with 150 SL600s remaining in the UK compared to 2000 SL55, SL63, and SL65 models.
