Yahoo Autos The Sound The Lamborghini V10 Makes Isn't Magic
Lamborghini might have developed its V10 using Audi's money, and Audi might have paid the bill partly so that they could build their own supercar around it later on. That's how investments work, and one thing is for sure: Audi likes to call the R8's engine its own as much as Sant'Agata does.
This cast alloy 90° dry sump V10 started out in the first Gallardo as a 5.0 with an 11.5:1 compression ratio and a total output of 493 horsepower. Some fourteen years later, the top spec Lambo V10 grew to a 5.2 packing 640 horsepower, which is enough to make the Huracan Performante the fastest supercar around the Nürburgring.
