Mercedes M275 V12

SOHC 36V 6.0L twin-turbo V12, was rated at 604 hp and 740 torque in most cars except the SL65 Black Series, where it made 661 hp.

Very reliable and durable for such a complex powerful engine, other than that they eat coil packs every 30k miles or so. Plenty out there with 100k+ miles and no issues.

Capable of 700+ hp and 900+ torque with stock fueling/pistons/crank/turbos.

Crazy reliable. Besides the $3k for coil pack replacement it runs like a top. Can hardly hear it running either. Smoothest power yoy could ask for.
