Surely the block suffers with the variable cooling which goes on? Not sure what the implications are for long term reliability.

I wonder this about stop-start as well, can't be good for engines to cool and heat over such short times.

Merc did this on the last shape V12 CL and SL's years ago - do they still do it on the current V12's?

The Merc V12 has never had reliability issues AFAIK.

If they'd just change the headlights to something that looks a little less molten, I'd like the look a lot more.

Why the loud music when what we want is to hear the sound of the engine??
