In Europe, several manufacturers added V12 engines to their line-up, as listed below:
* Jaguar: The [[Jaguar V12 engine]] was an all-aluminium SOHC design with displacements of {{convert|5.3|-|6.0|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} that was produced from 1971 to 1997 in the [[Jaguar E-Type|E-Type]], [[Jaguar XJS|XJS]], and [[Jaguar XJ|XJ.]] The first application for the engine was a 5.3&nbsp;litre version used in the Jaguar E-Type Series 3 sports car.<ref>{{cite web |title=V12 Engine 1971–1997 |url= https://www.jaguarheritage.com/jaguar-history/jaguar-engineering/v12-engine/ |website=jaguarheritage.com |access-date=23 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Jaguar V12 : Evolution |url= http://www.xj13.eu/XJ13Blog/post/2010/07/14/The-Jaguar-V12-Evolution.aspx |website=xj13.eu |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130414084742/http://www.xj13.eu/XJ13Blog/post/2010/07/14/The-Jaguar-V12-Evolution.aspx |archive-date=14 April 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jagweb.com/jagworld/v12-engine/ |title=Technical history of the Jaguar V12 |publisher=Jag Web |access-date=29 January 2015 |archive-date=4 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120404101440/http://www.jagweb.com/jagworld/v12-engine/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> 
* BMW: Production of V12 engines began with the [[BMW M70]] SOHC engine introduced in the 1987 [[BMW 7 Series (E32)|E32 7 Series]] luxury sedan. The engine was also used in the [[BMW 8 Series (E31)|E31 8 Series.]] The engine was upgraded to a DOHC V12 engine in 2003, then to a turbocharged DOHC V12 engine which has been in production from 2008 to the present in the 7 Series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20130722/CARREVIEWS/130719803|title = 2013 BMW 760Li review notes|date = 21 July 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/09q3/2010_bmw_760i_760li-first_drive_review|title= 2010 BMW 760i/760Li |journal=Car & Driver |date=July 2009 |access-date= 2011-09-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2013-bmw-760li-review-notes |title=2013 BMW 760Li review notes |date=July 21, 2013 |magazine=Autoweek |access-date=7 February 2015}}</ref> BMW V12 engines have also been used in several Rolls-Royce models, beginning in 1998 with the [[Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph]].
* Mercedes-Benz: The company's first V12 engine was the [[Mercedes-Benz M120 engine|M120]], a {{convert|6.0|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} DOHC engine introduced in the 1991 ''Mercedes-Benz 600 SE'' luxury sedan.

* Aston Martin: The 1999 [[Aston Martin DB7#V12 Vantage|Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage]] used the company's first V12 engine, a {{convert|362|cuin|L|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} DOHC design. Variations of this engine were used in the [[Aston Martin Vanquish|Vanquish]][[Aston Martin DB9|, DB9]], [[Aston Martin DBS V12|DBS V12]], [[Aston Martin Rapide|Rapide]], [[Aston Martin Virage|Virage]], and [[Aston Martin Vantage (2005)|V12 Vantage]].

In the United States, no mass-produced V12 engines have been built since the 1940s, with U.S. manufacturers preferring to use large displacement V8 engines instead.

Japanese manufacturers rarely produce engines with large displacements, therefore V12 engines are very rare. The sole Japanese V12 engine is the 1997–2016 [[Toyota GZ engine]], a {{convert|5.0|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} DOHC design which was used in the [[Toyota Century]] limousine.<ref>{{cite web |title=Toyota's new Century flagship loses V12 in favor of hybrid V8 |url= https://www.autoblog.com/2017/10/05/toyotas-new-century-flagship-loses-v12-in-favor-of-hybrid-v8/ |website=autoblog.com |date= 5 October 2017 |access-date=22 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Japan's Only V12 Is Not Much To Look At |url= https://jalopnik.com/japans-only-v12-is-not-much-to-look-at-493135625 |website=jalopnik.com |date= 6 May 2013 |access-date=22 February 2020}}</ref>

In China, the 2009 [[Hongqi HQE]] limousine, powered by a {{convert|6.0|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} DOHC V12 engine, is the sole Chinese car to be produced with a V12 engine.{{citation needed|date=February 2020|reason=Need proof that this car actually reached production}}<ref>{{cite web |title=The Most Expensive Chinese Car, $1.2-Million Hongqi HQE, is Getting Ready for Volume Production |url= http://chinaautoweb.com/2010/11/the-most-expensive-chinese-car-1-2-million-hongqi-hqe-is-getting-ready-for-volume-production/ |website=chinaautoweb.com |access-date=22 February 2020}}</ref>
