Why is the V10 underappreciated?

Because it's not a V12. It's the middle child.

then V8 is the small child.

V6 is the tiny child.

>>17490252
The V6 is the older child for commuter cars tho.

>>17490288
V6 w/o boost is commuter car

>>17490252
I5 is the toddler
I4 is infant
I3 is the fetus

>>17490232
Because they can't fit behind the front and rear axles like an ecoboost 3.5.

Not sure, the LFA sounds really good. I prefer the V12 but the I'd take a V10 over anything else. Somethin about an odd amount of cylinders per bank creates balance issues. Rather just go with the perfect balance of the I6 or V12

>>17490301
I6 is the child
V4 is the teenager
V6 is the adult
V8 is the balding middle aged dad

>>17490388
V12 is the wise old bald man with the long white beard and closed eyes that somehow see everything?

Because V10 can't do anything a V8 can't and 12cyl engines get bragging rights for having more cylinders if that's your thing.

mmhmmm

false

V10s are a compromise, with the exception of the Viper because its ridiculous displacement. The V10 is a great engine when you want big power in a small package (R8, Lamborghini, etc.) in most cases the prices of V10 cars are in the ball park of comparatively-priced V12 cars with racing pedigree.

The other problem the V10 suffers from is balancing two straight-5's. A straight six is the holy grail of balancing and the only engine better at balancing is two straight-sixes put together.

That's not to say the V10 is a bad engine, it's a great solution for smaller cars. But it's still a compromise between a V12 and V8.

Viper V10 gets a free pass because muh displacement

>>17490232
Is there anything manual above a V8 in current production, not including the R8 or highly limited production types?
It looks like Ferrari stopped manuals after the 430 in '09, and Lambo after the Gallardo in '13.

>>17490535
Aston martin vantage iirc - 7 speed

>>17490443
V10 is the cool uncle

>The V10 is a great engine when you want big power in a small package (R8, Lamborghini, etc.)

In this case you don't need to list R8 and Lamborghini

>>17490232
Cause they stick all the V10s in cars we probably can't afford.

>can't do anything a V8 can't
this is probably the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard
what can a V12 do that a I6 can't?
All engines rotate up to a certain RPM redline providing torque and power. What other qualifiers are there?
