Finally someone who truly understands the real deal and brought it to light. I’ve never understood why everyone has always said: “This Audi x has a Gallardo motor.” Audi developed the platform for the V10 that was put into the Gallardo, after all, Audi acquired Lamborghini in 1998 and basically saved them and elevated them to an extremely high level. So the phrase should be more like this: “This Lamborghini has an Audi engine”, which in my opinion is a wonderful thing. It’s shows how two of the greatest car companies worked together to create a wonderful product. P.S. The C6 RS6 is the craziest one of the all, and it’s still my favorite.

The R8 V10 has one of the nicest downshift growls of all time.

So the “real” Lambo V10s are in the pre LP Gallardos

Excellent bit of knowledge. Everyone tells me my R8 has a Lamborghini engine and I just say that Audi must have developed it further. I can now tell them it's 100% Audi. I feel happier about my car now.

Thanks jay! It answered long time question about the Audi V10! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

R8 V10 with manual is a must have, atleast for me.

Good info on the background of the development, I had no idea. A lot of love for this engine.

Hi Jayemm Good video. Had no idea the Audi v10 had such a large stroke. Also appreciated you speed speed figures and analogy. Amazing that car revs so high and also gotten a reputation for reliability. I’m in agreement on the manual trans. In v-10 used r8. What year do you like. Last year of the manual combined with looks Mike in San Diego, cal.

Fantastic video!

Loving those tame drive by shots Jay lol

Excellent video, thanks for engaging full geek mode

Grat review. Well myth busted. I always thought that was the case that the audi v10 was the lambo engine. That its better than the lambo unit is good to know. Ive always had a softbbspot for the R8.

Great video! Totally appealed to the car geek in me. I’d take a video like that over an episode of Top Gear any day. Keep up the good work.

I think you made a mistake Jay on the RS6 part. C6 RS6 BUH engine is 5.0 as Gallardo one and it even got Lamborghini stamps on it. S6 C6 and S8 D3 are as you said 5.2 and are different from the Gallardo one but C6 RS6 has a Lamborgini engine which was upgraded by a couple of turbos and is also very reliable.

Well you learn something new everyday

Lamborghini had been talking about building a V10 engined "smaller" model since around the late 80's or early 90's, long before they ever did. I remember reading a small writeup about it in Car and Driver magazine back then. As to where the actual design came from for the V10 they used in the 1st gen., I don't know. It's undersquare, too.

What a great video, James. Really, really strong content. Stuff you'd expect from TG, GT, 5TH G, etc.

The R8 is the one real mid-engine car I really lust after. Especially the V10. Glorious thing.

Well actually the Gallardo facelift got the Audi engine, which is also found in the Audi S8 D3 or the S6 B6. These are indeed the same 5.2L V10s. But again - the Audi engine was put into the Gallardo, not the other way around. So if you have a 5.2L Gallardo, you can say that you car has an Audi engine.

Love my LP560-4 Spyder, dont need a stereo with the roof down listening to it screem and downshifts

I’ve said this many times but the V10 manual spyder is one of the best cars ever made

Oh yeah had an S8 v10 too!!!:)

Finally people with knowledge 👍RS4 b7 closest relative

Speaking of linear piston speed, I recall that due to its nature, the 3.2l inline 6 of the E46 M3, at peak revs, has a piston speed comparable to that of an F1 engine at the time... But while the figures for that engine are readily available, this is not so with F1 engines...

Audi asked cosworth to design the V10!! Audi bought cosworth company back in that time. (Except the racing part which they sold to FORD). The block and the cylinder head was produced in the UK, and assembled in Hungary, Győr. And in 2004 Audi SOLD cosworth for MAHLE.

Top quality stuff as always

It was legendary:)))

I have 2009 C6 R6 Avant TT ,it has the even firing 5.0L.Isn't it the same version in first Gallardo ,but NA ? Either way service prices are Lamboesque, apart from a couple of lambda sensors and 2 rear coil packs, pads,tyres and tyres and more tyres,it has been rock solid.Had a new V8 loaner for a week, and it's quicker and even more refined,but Gee that V10 is so intoxicating, I still giggle daily at the sounds it makes.

Hello Sir, I needed some advice from you regarding engine not starting of Audi.

The only engine Lamborghini wholly developed was the 5.0 even-firing V10. All the later 5.2's odd-firing were developed by Audi based on their 4.2 FSI V8.

Am I understanding what you said correctly? The first gen V10 R8 does not share the engine with the Gallardo but the current one does share the engine with the Huracan?

@Silently Sceptical Oh but the Audi Clutches!!!

The main difference between the Audi v10 and the lambo V10 is the amount of valves per cylinder : 5 in the audi and 4 in the lambo

V10 are bulletproof. Huracans have reach 100k miles and still works fine.

Torque capacity has not a lot to do with stroke length, and all to do with cubic capacity. Torque = swept volume x BMEP / 4π. For the same swept volume and cylinder pressure, the decrease in stroke and moment arm of the crank throw is made up for by the increase in area of the piston and hence the force applied on the piston. The net effect is that the torque value, theoretically, would remain the same. Practically though, bigger bores allow bigger valves and ports, allowing better breathing especially at higher RPMs. The combined effect is then, that all things being equal, an oversquare engine will make more torque, at higher RPM Where an undersquare engine excels is in packaging, better S/V (surface area / volume) ratio of the combustion chamber, less heat loss to the cylinder walls, and better swirl in the combustion chamber on intake and compression. For a road car, an undersquare engine is better for efficiency and emissions.

Indeed; what he’s saying is that the original 5.0 Gallardo engine is a different design entirely from the 5.2 engines.

Still extremely cool. Which is why Audi and Lambo should ditch "VW diesel" by splitting off into a different company. Because this is one of the pinnacles of the VW Audi group...

AUDI WHIT LAMBO QUALTY

Is there any truth to the myth that this engine was / is actually designed and made by Porsche?

Not’can’ but the

Surely all Lambos have Audi engines these days in some sense, as they are part of Audi.

Instead of Lamborghini obtaining a V10 engine from Audi, it manufactures itself and Audi will do the same, it will not obtain such an engine from Lamborghini, but will produce a V10 engine itself, as Koenigsegg thought of producing an engine himself, and it is also a genius idea to do this instead of obtaining an engine from another manufacturer, for example Ford, and that, only the volume of the engine or the injectors And that exactly the same.

It seems like if a boring company tries to create a crazy car with a special engine, they end up with a V10. Audi, Lexus, Dodge... Well perhaps I wouldn't call Porsche boring, but their V10 was a massive departure from their usual engines, espiecially considering it was planed in the late 90's. Same goes for any other company, the V10 was a massive technological departure from their usual engines.

I'm trying to imagine how these V10 motors will behave in the years to come. They will probably be quite thirsty and require significant maintenance. In the EU, some of the car registration expense is based on engine displacement and that will make for some hair-raising fees as well. I don't know if these engine/car models make for a good second car. Sounds very pricy to have in the garage.
