Audi’s glorious naturally-aspirated V10 is not, as some may believe, on the chopping block.
Rumours of an early demise for Audi’s brilliant atmo V10 have been scotched by the car’s project boss.
As the last non-turbocharged unit in Audi’s extensive engine line-up, the 5.2-litre V10, also used in the Lamborghini Huracan, has long endured speculation that it must be on borrowed time.
“We are currently testing systems that use both two and four individual particle filters; our challenge is to package theses filters effectively in a tight engine bay, and to make sure the filters have no detrimental effect on the engine’s sound or outputs. Software changes will help solve those [later] issues.”Schala’s message is clear: Audi would not be sinking this level of resources into the V10 if it planned to put a bullet in its head any time soon. Atmo engine lovers, rejoice.
