Unless it's an entirely proprietary design from scratch, they've done the same as Ford did to create the V12, but in reverse and in a longitudinal split instead of a transverse split.
However, if it's a derivitive of the V12, the block has had to be strengthened to be mounted in the sub-frame, as the engine would've lost a bit of rigidity by being split in half longitudinally. |
