Audi R8 V10 Review and Photos

Audi didn’t have to reengineer the car or even develop a new engine for the R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, as the new V-10 model is officially designated. This is the very engine launched in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 last year, including the cylinder head. “The only difference lies in the intake and exhaust system, as well as the electronics,” an Audi engineer told us at the launch of the R8 V-10 in Marbella, Spain. The engine is equipped with a dry-sump lubrication system, as well.

In the Audi R8 V-8, you are standing on the gas all the time; the new V-10, on the other hand, teaches you to treat the fun pedal with a bit more respect. This car is wickedly quick, and if you don’t watch the speedometer, you will be driving with one foot in jail most of the time.
