Im sitting here watching "Chasing Classic Cars" on Velocity and Wayne the host pulls an air breather off of a Farrari 275 with a 12 cylinder and it has a carburetor system on it with 6 2bbls. I knew other vehicles have 3 carbs like some mopars but had no idea that there was a car with 6 carbs
 
I imagine it must take an expert to tune and synchronize six Webers... They do look cool, though.
 
Check out the 70's Porsche 911 with flat 6 and 2x3bbl weber carburetors. Sweet looking setup and revs like a scalded dog when sync'd.
 
Yep, that's typically an individual runner setup. They work very well when properly tuned. I had a 72 911T that I restored and it had the MFI (mech fuel injection). While the pump was getting recalibrated I borrowed a set of Zeniths to run around on. Again, tuning is the key and not hard to do once you understand what's going on.
