VW's Secret W10 Engine: Unveiling the Mysterious Prototype

A for-sale listing by GDM Motors, a Belgian-German GT racing team, has revealed that one of the lost VW W10 engine prototypes from the early 2000s ended up in a BMW M5. The engine was allegedly used as a personal car by Ferdinand Piëch, the inventor of the W engine. Visual comparisons between the incomplete prototype and the engine in the BMW confirm their similarities. The W10-powered BMW M5 is estimated to produce 500 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The whereabouts of the third rumored W10 engine prototype remain unknown.
