Fans of the twelve-cylinder petrol engine rejoice - at least one carmaker is committed to keeping the twelve-pot engine thrumming into the foreseeable future.

Mercedes-Benz reportedly believes that pressures to go ‘green’ with increasingly-smaller engines and electrified powertrains won’t stop it from continuing with its 12-cylinder models for those that wish to purchase them.

The carmaker certainly isn’t abandoning its own green push, however, with its EQ electric car program now cleared to continue thanks to some negotiation with Chery in China.

But if you’re a V12 lover, Benz has got your back.   

"The V12 is around for the foreseeable future," Mercedes-Benz’s Ola Kallenius said, speaking with media in Germany.

"I don't see that going away quickly."
