Highest factory redline

[lrsudog]

The 4 cyl. engine in the Toyota Matrix XRS has a redline of 8200 RPM.

The answer for the 10 cyl would be Carguy's CGT.

That car is not made anymore.

Neither is that.

The current M5/M6 V10 is at 8250
The lotus Elise 4 cylinder is 8500 (its a version of the 1.8 liter that was in the Matrix XRS)
Not sure of the others....

Isn't the Mazda RX-7 in the 9's somewhere.

Internal improvements to the Renesis increased the redline over that of any production Rotary engine before it.

Putting Renesis internal components (lighter eccentric shaft, better rotor bearings, etc) into RX-7 motors is common.

The highest redline on any RX7 (AFAIK) was on the 89-91 Naturally Aspirated 2nd Generation FC3S and it hit fuel cut somewhere before 8700.

However hardcore racing NA rotary motors commonly go over 10k all day :biggrin:

I have never really paid attention to a rotary's exhaust sound. How is it at 9K?

Oh, you wanted us to stay on topic?

You must be new here.

LOL... I don't know what I was thinking... :biggrin:
