Why do Audi R8 models have V10 engines?

I noticed that all Audi R8 models come with V10 engines instead of the more common V8 engines found in other high-performance cars. Is there a specific reason for this?

The V10 engine in the Audi R8 is based on the engine used in the Lamborghini Gallardo. Audi and Lamborghini are owned by the same parent company, Volkswagen, which explains why they share similar engines and technology.
