Renault pioneered the V10 engine in F1, when the 3.5 litre formula started, back in 1988.

I reckon it probably is the Dodge Viper, actually. Holy crap! Innovation by an American car company!
Some V10 road cars that I can think of:
Gallardo
M5
M6
Next year's Weissmann Coupe
New RS6 (not out yet)
I'm surprised there aren't more.

I believe Gabriel Voisin pioneered a V10 engine in the early 1920s equipped with sleeve valves and all.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

yep, 1921, 7 litre monster
Can't imagine how badly it vibrated back then !!!

What I would like to know how much oil it lost per mile. Those sleeve valves worked good in theory, but did go through oil like it was petrol.yep, 1921, 7 litre monster

I know in recent times the US auto industry hasn't been very innovative but they have a very long and impressive history of innovations. Lets start with the easy ones.
Interchangeable parts: Caddy
Electric Starter: Caddy
Air spring suspension: Firestone/GM
Honda CVCC motor: GM did the fundamental research that Honda based their design on. I didn't say their great ideas were always released by them...
Unfortunately starting in the 70's many of their true innovations were buried in cars that as an overall package really weren't that good. In a sense the innovative details and subsystems were lost in so-so cars.

"Air suspension, which Lincoln ballyhooed for some models in 1984 was introduced in 1909 by the Cowey Motor Works of Great Britain. It did not work well because it leaked.
The first practical air suspension was developed by Firestone in 1933 for an experimental car called the Stout-Scarab. This was a rear-engined vehicle that used four rubberized bellows in place of conventional springs. Air was supplied by small compressors attached to each bellow"

I thought there was once an Aston Martin that had a V10....or maybe it was actually powered by a V12 too.
