V12 as daily driver

What do you think about using V12 as daily driver? I know some folks that like to use their V8`s as daily driver and they are in minority. So I was wondering do you know/see folks around you that like to use their V12 beasts every day...I am aware that cars with V12 engines are expensive in any way (buying, maintenance, fuel) but I have feeling that there is always group of people with extra coin in their left pocket

In terms of "type" of V12 I have thoughts on V12 GT`s like AM DB9, Ferrari 599/F12, Bentley Continental GT. I am not sure that anyone use Aventador, Enzo, McLaren F1 or Zonda as daily driver - Am I wrong

I am aware that V12 limousines are mostly used as daily drivers.

There was a time when LP640 and 575M were used on a daily basis (no issues at all). But not anymore though.
However, the Phantom Coupe and Bentley GT are used several times a week

Best V12 DD for me are both the Rolls, FF and F12 and the new SL65. But the FF for me is the most complete.... And if Novitec works their magic on it, then.... No words!
