    According the emission laws, in force as of 2020/2021, it would be nearly impossible to continue the NA V12. My small inner circle concludes that the V12 will be replaced by a V8 + Hybrid system. As soon as that will be confirmed (maybe during 2019?), will there be a run on the V12 models? What does this mean for the existing V12 cars on the road? Will the 'audience' value the natural aspirated engine higher than the one with a hybrid? Questions I do not have the answer to BUT I'm very happy with my V12 and tent to keep it as long as I can!
    There have been numerous comments about this over many 'threads' but, as the date is getting close (and not too many V12's can be built anymore - according to emission laws) this topic deserves its own thread as I believe that a V12 is part of Ferrari's heritage. What do you think?

    I disagree: the live hybrid thread is perfectly adequate

    This is a highly dubious statement. Chevy and Dodge are dropping 6.2 liter engines in their cars with no end in sight. I'd like to see what specific regulation you're referring to.

    I now realize, my thread would lead to a similar discussion and repeats, so let's close this one and continue in the live hybrid thread.
