V10

Stick around in this business long enough as an automotive writer, and you'll be privy to some really wonderful driving moments. Great roads and amazing cars have a way of burning into one's memory banks like few other life experiences. But almost more than the visceral shove of a high-powered ...

Spania landed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with its GTA Spano. The latest take on the company's supercar packs a 900 horsepower twin-turbocharged 8.4-litre V10 with a similarly impressive 737 pound-feet of torque. With just 1,350 kg (2,976 pounds) to move around, that big mill has no trouble ...

In the picture above it is clear that a guy is holding a misshapen beer can to his lips – he's not drinking from it, he's using it to help him recreate the sound of a V10 engine. That's right: one man, one can, and the wail of one ten-cylinder motor. But we cannot stress enough that this ...

Only one fifth of Chrysler Group dealers will have the chance to sell 2013 SRT Viper, according to an Automotive News report. To qualify for the V10 beast, a hopeful dealer will have to train staff and purchase special tools, as well as improve their facilities. This does not guarantee the ...

Their antennae will twitch with whispers of an independent-rear-suspension Mustang and a mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette. ...

%Gallery-138058% It may be another year or two before the next-generation Dodge Viper comes rumbling in, all 8.7 litres of it. But even though there is no Viper currently on offer, that doesn't mean there isn't some V10 power to be had. If you're a drag racer, anyway. The Chrysler Group's ...

We love the 5.0-litre V10 from BMW. Besides having an affinity for any engine with more than eight cylinders, the torque-happy five-litre sounds like straight glory and is happy to induce all sorts of tail-wagging fun from the outgoing M5. That doesn't mean there's not room for improvement, ...

Subaru loves boxers. No, not the kind that beat each other into bloody pulps, we're talking about the boxer engine design, which places the cylinders directly across a horizontal plane, almost like they are swinging alternating punches away from the crankshaft – hence, the boxer ...
