Mercury’s new 600hp Verado V12: truly different & surprisingly smooth

[Bob Riebe]

There’s much to tell about what went into the V12. For instance, Mercury developed its own 7.6 liter,  (461 in.cu. ) 64-degree, V12 block for this project. By not using a repurposed automotive engine block, they could design the entire outboard for exactly how it will be used. Stripping away automobile components and emissions controls complicates the use of more easily sourced blocks and leaves the outboard engineers with less control over the end product.

i thought the 450 hp ones were insane. Can you imaging 3 of them on the back of a boat!
