Flat-10

From WOI Encyclopedia Italia

The flat 10 engine is an engine with two banks of five opposing cylinders each.

It is a rare engine configuration. Chevrolet experimented with a flat 10 engine based on their Corvair flat 6 design when they wanted to expand the Corvair marque to include full-size vehicles.
