And it has some similarities with the F1 but F1 >>>> MP4-12C

It should be. The F1 cost a million dollars. the 12C costs a quarter of that.

Well it was one of a kind, a technical marvel, that took a car with almost 1.5 times the power and an engine that wasn'tt naturally aspirated, so it deserved that price.

McLaren took two BMW straight 6 blocks and welded them together to create the V12 in the F1.

a quick wiki tells me

 

S70/2

 

6,064 cc (6.064 L; 370.0 cu in) version developed for the McLaren F1. The S70/2 was a complete redesign from M70 with no common parts, featuring a lighter and smaller engine block.

 

I'm not arguing :samui:

 

also they sued traditional parts rather than new things as they wanted to make it simple and more durable, but it's not that they were the same as you said,

 

And if it were that easy then we would have a car bettering it by welding two higher capacity engines to form a better car ?
