The V12 was a one off prototype built just to prove that any engine built at the time would fit in the Z3 never meant for sale. It still exist squirreled away in the museum basement.

No more powerful than the S54 Z3M just more torque and spin the wheels 1st to 3rd. 70/30 weight distribution so must have been tail happy.

Bit more about it

There is also the Hartage Z3 with a 5.0 V8 fitted
