Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. It is shocking just how much more aggressive its V10 sounds in comparison to the nearly identical V10 in my dad's Audi S8.

From 2005 to 2009 the S8 was equipped with a 5.2L V10. From Wiki:

The D3 series S8 features a 5.2-litre all- aluminium alloy four-valves per cylinder V10 petrol engine. This engine is a derivative of the Lamborghini Gallardo 's original 5.0-litre Lamborghini V10 , [17] which was also developed under the Volkswagen Group ownership. On this Audi-only variant, compared to the Lamborghini engine, it features a longer stroke and wider bore —which increases the displacement of the engine, and produces more torque at lower revs, making it more suitable for the larger and heavier full-sized luxury Audi application. It produces 331 kW (444 hp) of power and 540 Nm (398 lbft) of torque. By having its bore whittled out an additional 2 millimetres (0.1 in), displacement in the S8 application increases from 5.0- to 5.2-litres.
