Which is better, V8 or V10 engine?
Fuel efficiency in general, engines with more cylinders are less fuel-efficient. V8 engines typically offer better fuel economy than v10 engines, especially in non-performance applications. Power delivery: v12 releases slightly more power from the extra cylinders, while v10 releases less power due to fewer cylinders. Smoothness: v12 engines run smoother due to the even firing intervals and engine balance.Smoothness: While the V8 is balanced, it can’t quite match the buttery smoothness of engines with more cylinders, like the V12.V10 pros: has more power, gets slightly better mileage, feels better at cruising speed and handles larger tires or added weight much better than I’ve experienced with a V8.
Which car has a V10 engine?
BMW and Audi developed V10s for high performance cars such as BMW M5, BMW M6, Audi S6, Audi RS6, Audi S8 and Audi R8, mostly based upon their executive cars. Volkswagen also developed a V10, but as a turbo-diesel. A variant of the Volkswagen Phaeton was the first production sedan to contain a V10 of any kind. The Porsche V10 engine is a naturally-aspirated, V-10, internal combustion piston engine, designed and developed by Porsche, originally as a concept design for Formula One motor racing in the 1990s, and later Le Mans racing, but eventually used in the Porsche Carrera GT sports car; between 2003 and 2007.
Is the Audi R8 a V10 or V12?
In U. S. R8 V10 Performance is able to make 602 horsepower at 8,100 rpm and 413 lb-ft of torque at a 6,700 rpm. That speed and the firing pattern of the cylinders – 1 – 6 – 5 – 10 – 2 – 7 – 3 – 8 – 4 – 9 – give the Audi R8 a hissing tenor exhaust note that builds to a crescendo. Known within Audi Sport as the ‘R16’, the R8 LMS features a 500 PS (368 kW; 493 hp) V10 engine.
