The HE V12's all got 2.88:axle ratios which, combined with the relative heft of the car, made for less than impressive standing starts, but it is almost without parallel on the highway.
As for the sound in the video: That was no where near wide open. I doubt he got it up over 4k, probably 3500. The engine "redlines" at an intake limited 6500, but with that carb setup should be good for well over 7k. And until you've heard a Jag V12 spinning over 6k, please refrain from calling it "conservative".

What's next a Smart fortwo with a V8?
There is not enough room for a V12 in a Miata. A V6 can be possible
