Nissan Toyota, etc moved from I6 to V6 long before the GTR was concieved.

Yep and using V6 layot you get more leg room on back seat. When using I6 manufacturer need make same size engine bay what V12 need.

Not really.

-Something difficult to achieve is not always better.
-Rear weight bias cars can be made neutral or understeering

BMW would probably be better off even for the general population with 45/55...
