The engine

6.75L Twin-Turbo V12

Rolls-Royce's 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 is engineered for silence and a tidal wave of low-rev torque — it never strains, delivering effortless 'waftability' with the tachometer barely stirring.

The 6.75-liter displacement is a Rolls-Royce tradition dating to 1959; this BMW-derived V12 is hand-built and deliberately detuned for serenity rather than headline power.

Rolls famously quotes power as 'adequate' — the 6.75L badge honors a displacement the marque has used for over 60 years.
Most of its peak torque is available just off idle, so the car surges without ever sounding busy.
