What makes the Audi R8's V10 engine so powerful?

I'm considering buying an Audi R8 and have heard about the V10 engine. What sets it apart from other engines in terms of power and performance?

The Audi R8's V10 engine is a masterpiece of engineering. With a 5.2L displacement and dual fuel injection, it produces 562 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, allowing the R8 to go from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds.

The V10 engine in the Audi R8 was developed from the engine used in the Lamborghini Gallardo. It features dry sump lubrication, allowing the engine to sit lower in the car for better weight distribution and improved handling.
