Flat-ten engine
A flat-ten engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-ten, is an ten-cylinder piston engine with five cylinders on each side of a central crankshaft.
There are no known flat-ten engines which reached production.
In the early 1960s, Chevrolet built several prototype flat-ten engines as part of an aborted program for family of Modular Engines to replace the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 flat-six engine. This development program investigated flat engines with between two and twelve cylinders, with the flat-ten version being known as "P-10". Although the program was initially intended to develop an engine for the 1964 Chevrolet Corvair, the flat-ten version was fitted to an experimental 1962 Chevrolet Impala.
