How many cylinders are in an Audi R8 engine?
My friend and I can’t seem to agree on the Quattro’s engine. He seems to think that there are only eight cylinders, but I’m convinced it’s more. So how many cylinders are in the Audi R8’s engine?

The
Audi R8
boasts ten cylinders in its impressive V10 Plus engine, capable of generating as much as 602 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. When stacked up against competitors like the
Chevrolet Corvette
and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, there’s really no competition—the Audi R8’s V10 Plus leaves both the Corvette’s and AMG GT’s V8 engines in the dust. Of course, that’s one of the reasons the Audi R8 is so well-loved among car and racing enthusiasts alike.
But all that power comes at a price! Audi R8s have some of the
highest insurance premiums
of any car on the market. And that V10 Plus is partly to blame! Larger, more powerful engines tend to generate higher car insurance costs
, as they pose greater risks in the eyes of insurance companies. View full answer
