We've already driven the 2010 Audi R8 V10, but we did not get a chance to test the car until now. Don Sherman spent the day with an R8 and his testing equipment and recorded a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds. (http://www.automobilemag.com/new_and_future_cars/2010/0902_2010_audi_r8_v10_first_test_results)What's the difference in the V-10 engines that power the top Audi (http://www.automobilemag.com/new_cars/01/audi/index.html) and Lamborghini (http://www.automobilemag.com/new_cars/01/lamborghini/index.html)'s crown prince? As it turns out, not much. Both share the same basic components and architecture: a 90-degree V-angle, DOHC 4-valves per cylinder top end, mostly aluminum construction. The forged-steel crankshaft and connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons providing a 12.5:1 compression ratio are also shared by both sports cars.
