I used my E92 M3 as my daily for 10k miles and it revved to 8400rpm...it made for a lousy daily so I sold it after 10 months...

The Mazda RX-8 should be shifted at 9k but can be comfortably revved to its hard limiter of 9.5k.

In the Supercar budget category, my Levante revs to 10,500 rpm. It's a 2.3 v6.

2 of 3 of your vital stats are incorrect according to Caterham.

Ta.


ETA: Link giving displacement and number of cylinders.

Try this.....

"This car will also be available from 2009 with the new lightweight V Master 2.3 V6 engine currently under development at RS Performance which will produce up to 600bhp, the extra power being achieved by running a higher boost.
Features of the RSW Evo"

This engine is favoured over the V8 in the more recent RS offerings.

Happy to help wink

Quoted for posterity,

Give it a few years... and our children and grandchildren will just laugh at the internal combustion dinosaur and our reluctance to move on.

Heck - if we had no progress - we would be driving like Fred Flintstone.

Has no-one mentioned the RX8?

Rev limiter doesn't kick in until 9300. That's pretty conservative as well. Mazda ran them on the bench at 14,000 rpm without any issues, but with no appreciable gain in power.

Been mentioned about 4 times, but nobody else has acknowledged that.

I think part of the issue is that according to the stuff I've read, the limiter is at 9000, 9200, 9400 or 9500rpm, and the dashboard tach actually over-reads (so says 9000 when the engine is actually doing 8500rpm).

Excluding Kei cars and tuned cars:
I know you said excluding bike engines but the highest revving standard bike engines I know of are the 250cc Japanese mini-superbikes made in the nineties. About 19K rpm redline like an F1 car!
CBR250RR dash complete with 19k redline.

I think he's pointing out that the Leaf has and Electric MOTOR which is not an ENGINE.

Personally I don't have a clue why, but electric motors are motors and petrol / diesel engines are engines.

What about looking at it the other way . . . my old Bentley Turbo R would happily cruise along at 90+ mph barely ticking over at about 2,500-3,000 revs. I find that much more impressive.

Limiter at about 4500rpm or so, yes?
That's weirdly low for a petrol car - the BMW M550d limiter is at 5600rpm, for a diesel..
