Legendary Engines: The Audi - Lamborghini V10 - MYTHBUSTED

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

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.

[@evclark]

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

[@CarToneHK]

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

[@shabbytiger5528]

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.

[@M_773]

Either way... It's one of the greatest engines and it wouldn't be here without Lambo's drama and Audi's money.

[@YensR]

What's better than one inline 5s? Two inline 5s! #fivecylinderisbestcylinder

[@acchaladka]

Dumb question, is there a five cylinder Audi engine derived from this engine? Is it precisely half the engine and hlf the powerÉ

[@cosolote]

yes, and they sound identical!!!

[@Antonio-yq8uo]

Finally someone who understands that V10 is Audis own engine. Hate ot when someone says its lambo engine in audi, while it is not

[@Devilacme]

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

[@TheMentalblockrock]

How come Audi managed to make a 5.0L V-10 that DIDN'T melt its big end (con-rod) bearings by 70,000 miles?

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

using quality materials ?

[@TheMentalblockrock]

@@malcolmhardwick4258 Maybe that's where the "other" German V-10 manufacturer went wrong?? And did it again with their V-8.

[@TheMentalblockrock]

@MGazT Look up Redish motorsport on KZbin and see who their clients are!

[@Dipierox]

I think the response is in your last comment : buyers. The average Audi V10 has done some autobahn, some city drive and some country drive while the average BMW V10 has done hundreds kilometers of burnouts donuts and all the stuff that revs the shit out of the engine, killing it in the process.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

Pierre C That’s not necessarily true. I’d say both those cars are driven hard by most of their owners. It’s just a fact that those BMW V10s are nightmares with those rod bearings. They are consumable, and those issues are unavoidable.

[@MrQuidy]

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.

[@yeahno....]

7:05 you ain’t seen me right🤷‍♂️😂😉

[@Fee.1]

Are you his mom?

[@yeahno....]

Fee it’s a 90s comedy show quote in the U.K. google “the fast show”

[@disco.jellyfish]

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.

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.

[@WilliamStevens007]

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

[@FreestylerAlbert]

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.

Thanks James! I watched this video twice to absorb all the info!

[@medraut9]

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.

[@SteveMillersm101]

Really enjoyed

[@GuysThatDrive]

Excellent video, thanks for engaging full geek mode

[@quigonjay9]

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?

[@ripster36]

Pre-LP 5.0L V10 Gallardo were Lamborghini's ..the 5.2L V10 was developed for both Audi & Lamborghini..from LP560-4 to Huracan EVO is the Audi Engine

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

[@Vazin]

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.

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...

[@SilliusSodus]

Top quality stuff as always

[@leenevin8451]

are electric cars fun to drive slowly?

[@samiurrahmanshah1981]

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.

[@rcharawi]

It was legendary:)))

[@AK-fl3nc]

The rs6 c6 does have the lambo block!

[@ConejoZing]

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...

[@David-wl7qs]

Thumbnail shows Audi RS6 Avant (5.0 turbo V10) but video is of Audi R8 (5.2 V10)🤥

[@Atombender]

Basically the Audi R8 V10 is a not-so-rich people's version of the Carrera GT with a not-so-stingy gearbox.

[@ahimeirhadad4836]

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.

Have to disagree on the note of the Carrera GT and the LFA being noteworthy mainly for the V10. I really think the chassis is the focal point for both of those cars.

I would contend that the main thing people know about the LFA is what could be called 'the greatest sounding engine in a road car of all time'. The CGT feels like its both, to me. Not to short the LFA on anything else, but... the engine. OMG. The E N G I N E. :-D

[@billymania11]

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.

[@dogchainsaw3923]

No look at first gen R8s. Some are reaching 100k miles and are still reliable. Audi really spent time to make a Supercar that’ll last.

[@camryt]

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.
