We didn't realise how good we had it when the S6, M5 touring, Vantage V12 and all the other cars that got really silly engines stuffed into them were being built.

Nice video as always but calling it a Lamborghini V10 is a myth. The V10 engine used in S6/S8/R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo was primarily developed by Audi. When Audi acquired Lamborghini in 1998, it began a significant overhaul of Lamborghini's operations, including its engine technology. Audi's engineering expertise played a crucial role in the development of this V10 engine.

[@ville85]

Thank you, I was looking for a comment like this. I don't understand how any one can call himself a petrolhead if they call an audi V10 a lambo-engine. Audi 5.2v10 FSI was derived from the 4.2 V8 FSI engine that was used in RS4 B7 and R8 V8, and Lambo developed their own V10 that was later used in R8 V10.
