Car review: 2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2
by Joe Wiesenfelder Cars.com
"What's your favorite car?" For the first time in my life, I have a single favorite car: the Audi R8.
Since the R8's debut, there have been critics for whom the 4.2-liter V-8's 420 horsepower and zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds just wasn't enough. Now, the V-10's 525 hp delivers a zero-to-60 time of 3.7 seconds. The V-10 isn't the 4.2-liter V-8 with a couple of additional cylinders. It's actually shared with the Gallardo from Lamborghini.
The 5.2-liter is a potent engine, and though its torque peak is a mere 391 pounds-feet at 6,500 rpm, there's enough grunt to get you going without much delay, and the standard Quattro all-wheel drive makes sure the power goes to the pavement during straight-line acceleration.
