Matt and Shane Corish are two brothers from Australian who build LSx-Based V12s at their company V12LS. Recently the two decided to up the crazy and install one of their engines into their Kia Pregio shop van. Out went the factory inline-four and in went a 9.5 L iron-block V12 that makes 600+ horsepower and 600+ lb-ft of torque.





That exhaust manifold is what half of an exhaust system is supposed to look like. But in a KIA van?? I would have shipped them my wife’s GMC Acadia instead. 😉

What a waste. You could probably buy a used Ferrari with a V12 for the amount of cash they put into this stupid thing.
