10,000 + rpm

Pic doesn't work, at least for me anyway, but I saw them on vtec.net.
Looks like the redline is at about 8,500rpm, and there is definitely a 10 on there. Nice!! You can also see what looks like a production-spec flat-bottom steering wheel and frameless windows.

Looking at the picture, it appears to redline at 8500 and the tach goes to 10k. Anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?
Jup. Redline starts at 8.5. Nice.

Well, I for one would love 10,000 RPM + V10 engine. The sound should be amazing.

I wouldn't get too excited....just a gauge in a test car. The speedo in my NSX goes to 190 too.
Crossing fingers tho!

Yup, upon actually looking at the pictures, it does appear the red circle starts at 8.5k. This not nessacarily mean fuel cuts off at 8.5k. I believe there are some tachs out there that have the redline sooner than actually engine cutoff.
Yeah, but it looks finished and production-ready. They wouldn't go through that much trouble for the test driver's visual pleasure.
More interior shots surfacing. More on VTEC.net. Tach appears to be 10,000 plus RPM!
edit: dang, the pic is there and then goes away. Anyway, here's a thumbnail.
So if let the actually redline extended over to 12000 RPM, would that make you even more excited?:tongue::biggrin:
Does anyone think a V-10 that redlines at 10k is even remotely possible for a production vehicle? What are the odds? Seems like a pretty unacheivable dream to me.
NA1 theoritical gear limited to 189mph if I am not mistaken.
I have heard the engine in the Ring vids- the noise is awesome.

Argh I can't figure out why some of you are so excited about a 10k tach and all this talk about a 10k redline. As mentioned, the Integra Type R had a 10k tach and an 8400rpm redline, and it looks pretty clear to me that this is basically the same. Going past 9k on a big production V10 just isn't feasible or worthwhile, and it seems like the picture is pretty clear about what the redline is, to me at least. Can't you be satisfied with what would still be the highest-revving V10 in production?!
It's still fun to talk and speculate about it. We've waited a very long time for any news from Acura about a new car like this. Don't rain on our parade.:biggrin::tongue:
Yea, where's that fellow that claimed he hit 180ish in a stock NSX?
If it's true, it should sound and FEEL amazing. But i'll hold my excitement until the first production model rolls out the door.
