Audi 52 V10 FSI specs: 5.2L (317 ci) 10-cylinder, 84.5 x 92.8 mm (3.3268 x 3.6535 in) bore and stroke, 12.5:1 compression. Rated 525 hp. DOHC.
The Audi 52 V10 FSI is undersquare — the 3.6535" stroke exceeds the 3.3268" bore by 8.9% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.6535" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 10 cylinders displaces 31.7 ci (519 cc).
12.5:1 on aluminum heads is high for a production gasoline engine; running a ratio like that on pump fuel depends on chamber design and fuel delivery rather than the number alone.
Factory fitments include the R8 V10 Mk1, R8 V10, S6 (C6) and 4 others.
