The 'V' in 'V10' stands for 'V-shaped', and the '10' indicates the number of cylinders. This means that the Audi R8 has a 10-cylinder engine arranged in a V-shape.

The V10 engine in the Audi R8 is a high-performance engine, rewarding drivers with an exhilarating power and sound experience. Once you drive an R8 with a V10 engine, it's hard to go back to anything else.
