The BMW E60 (model year 2005 and onward) M5 is slated to use a 5 litre V10 engine, owing to lessons learned from BMW's Formula 1 V10 engine program.

Additionally, there are rumours that the mkV Toyota Supra may have a V10 engine as an option.

When these vehicles are released, this article will need to be edited for correctness, or it will need to be reworked as to not imply that it holds a definitive list of V10 road cars.

Be bold! Rather than telling us what needs to be done, how about adding this information? Wikipedia is not a static repository of information carved in marble; it's dynamic, changeable, editable. When you see an article that's out of date ... fix it! And don't be worried about the approval of others -- if they don't like your addition, they'll improve it.—Morven 22:21, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

... Is:

• the V10 engine from the Porsche Carrera GT;
• the V10 engine from the Lamborghini Gallardo (and its Superleggera spawn);
• the V10 engine from the current (May 2008) Audi RS6.—Precedingunsigned comment added by90.8.162.64 (talk)18:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, what is going on here? This is extremely hard to understand without an engineering background (which I and presumably many other Wiki readers lack). Can someone clarify the balancing/construction of the V10 in this section please?Space Turbo (talk)23:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In response toUser:MonkeyKingBar, who reverted my edit without explanation or going to the talk page.The problems with the section I removed are these:The first reverted sentence isWP:OR and is also in violation ofWP:NPOV. It implies that the V10 was not common because it is inferior to both the V8 (due to complexity of the V10) and the V12 (due to smoothness of the V12). Without a reference, this isWP:OR. It is in violation ofWP:NPOV because it could equally be said that the V10 is superior to both the V8 and V12 because it is smoother than a V8 and less complex than a V12, ie: superiority is subjective and the article is currently biased toward one particular view-point.The rest of the discussion about Lexus LFA, while interesting, is in the wrong article. The LFA engine development is not a significant milestone in the history of the V10. It should be mentioned as a car that has a V10 and the rest of the info should be in the LFA article. For similar reasons, I am uncomfortable with the depth of discussion onDodge engines but I am willing to leave that untouched becauseDodge was the first to widely develop the V10 for road-car and high-volume small-truck use, so it is significant in the history of the V10 as an engine.I hope that clarifies things.

The LFA is a good example of why the V10 has unique characteristics over the V8 and V12.MonkeyKingBar (talk)21:12, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 1. You haven't addressed theWP:OR issues in the first removed sentence.
  2. The referencedCar and Driver article clearly states, "The LFA’s engine is a V-10 simply because that was the layout of Formula 1 cars when Lexus embarked on the project." This is in contradiction to the assertion that the V10 was selectedbecausethey could not get the V8 rev as high as V10, and over a V12 for its lower reciprocating mass.
  3. I dispute that it wasmodern engineering that made the V10 a viable option. To state it as such implies that the V10 is more difficult to engineer or more high-tech than a V12, which had been in wide use well before the V10. That kind of assertion would require a reference.
  4. The second reference atjalopnik.com doesn't even mention V12's and their higher reciprocating mass, nor does the reference atpr.com compare the engine response to that of a V8 or V12, which is what you would expect going by where the reference markers have been placed.

Basically, the problem with the paragraph is that while each individual piece of information about engine characteristics is probably true, it has been strung together to create an argument for why the V10 was selected over the V8 and V12, and that argument is not supported by the references. Please readWP:OR in full and I suggest you also readWP:BRD.

big trucks are big you can put 10 inch lift on them and you can also put alot more things on them.— Precedingunsigned comment added by66.209.225.209 (talk)15:38, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the old days MAN, MB, Magirus-Deutz and Tatra used v10 Diesel engines. These are the truck manufacters i know about.— Precedingunsigned comment added by89.15.135.236 (talk)03:04, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
