How is the Audi R8's engine different from other Audi models?

I've read that the Audi R8 uses a different engine compared to the rest of the Audi lineup. Can you explain the differences and how it affects the car's performance?

The Audi R8 is equipped with the R8 V10 engine, which is not found in any other Audi model. This engine is a V10 naturally aspirated engine, providing the R8 with a unique and powerful performance. Additionally, the placement of the engine in the middle of the car gives the R8 a more balanced weight distribution and enhances handling.

Compared to other Audi models, the R8's V10 engine has a higher displacement and produces more horsepower and torque. This results in a quicker acceleration and higher top speed. It also has a unique firing order, giving the R8 a distinct engine sound.
