The PH news story made me look up V10s, and Wikipedia has a disappointingly small amount of V10s listed. This is extra disappointing as I own the reg "V10 WOO" and it looks like the cheapest way in will be an M5/6... actually that's not disappointing at all hehe

What are they missing?

Audi S6 (C6) - 5.2 liter
Audi RS6 (C6) - 5.0 L bi-turbo
Audi S8 (D3) - 5.2 L
Audi R8 - 5.2 L

BMW M6 - 5.0 L
Bristol Fighter
Devon GT X (Dodge V10)
Dodge Viper (the first modern V-10-engined car)[citation needed]
Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty (pickup trucks)
Dodge Ram SRT-10 (pickup truck)
Ford E-350 (full-size van)

Going by that list, there are only 8 different engines, most of that list is repetition of engineering.

This makes me sad inside.

Perhaps a life ambition should be to own every one of them biggrin
