Except this is about 1.2l smaller, and makes about 100hp less(just the gasoline engine). I wonder how similar it is to the road going version. I would do some research, but I am on break right now, so no. Maybe afterwards.
And just for good measure. . .

Same link as the V10 left from the 9R3 and way back to the F1 V10 development.

Well, the engine in the 9R3, was much more road car like than the F1 V10, they even got ride of the pneumatic valve "springs." Not to mention the size was pretty similar too.

The F1 era V10 was very different to the V10 left for the LMP900 car and the RS Spyder V10 was very different from the previous too. You take the same idea and modify for the specific purpose.

Wait, the I thought the RS Spyder had a V8? But yes, the difference in engines between the LMP car and the F1 car are vastly different, as one has to last 5000 miles in a race and the other for just one weekend. Just like the road car engine has to last hundreds of thousands of miles versus one 5000 mile race.

I've followed motorsport regulations for over a decade in FIA/ACO formula. I would be the one to know so I have every FIA Appendix J rule book since the 1960's.
Porsche cannot just create a bespoke motorsport powerplant and be done with it. One of the main reason the RS Spyder was approved for production was to make back the money it cost to develop the F1/LMP V10 in the 90's. Porsche succeeded as they made money on the RS Spyder program.
