There is just something about a V10 that makes it irresistible to a car lover. It is big, powerful, fast, and gives you that seemingly endless torque that will scare you, especially when on a highway and when making a pass. It seems however that the glory days of V10 engines are over, car makers have started to put smaller, more efficient engines in their cars. Even historically overpowered cars like the Mustang will be getting a much smaller engine from next year as an option. In fact, it has been years since the ultimate cars- the F1 cars moved away from V10 engines. Since it may be the last generation in which we ever see V10’s on the road, here are the best modern V10 cars out there:
- 2009 Audi R8- Had the engine of a Gallardo, impressive in every way.
- 2005 BMW M5- Actually had the engine derived from an F1!
- 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10- One of the most powerful pickup trucks ever made. 500 bhp on tap, 8.3 liter V10.
- 1999 Dodge Viper- The Viper was always insane, an 8 liter V10 that put out 415 BHP, it went and sounded more like an animal than car.
- Lexus LFA- The V10 put out 553 BHP, tuned by Yamaha to sound like the ‘roar of an angel’. It does.
Are there any cars on this list that you have driven or owned.
