In order for a car to become a powerful car, they have to squeeze every potential out of their engine. Doesn't matter if it is a big engine or just a small one, we have to get as much efficiency as possible. By doing so, we have to stress the engine to the limit, to the highest "rotation per minute" (rpm) the engine could bear. So here is the list of car that the rotation of the engine could go up to more than 8000 times of rotation every minute.
1. LEXUS LF-A : 9500 RPM
The new Japanese monster which producing 560hp out of it's V10 at 8700 rpm while having 300 more rpm spared before reaching to it's redlining. But even so the redlining is at 9000 rpm, the LF-A actually can rev up to 9500 rpm before the ecu will cut off the fuel supplied to the engine.
2. FERRARI 458 ITALIA : 9000 RPM
The perfect combination between Ferrari and Maserati has produced something magical in the 2009 automotive industry when the Ferrari 458 Italia was first launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The direct fuel injection featured in this 4.5 liter V8 has allow it to rev up to 9000 rpm in just a quick moment and producing 560hp at 9000 rpm.
3. MCLAREN MP4-12C : 8500 RPM
Can anyone tell me who is the driver behind those wheels. It is the first two men ever driving the Mclaren MP3-12C, the 2008 Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton and the 2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button. Just look at how happy they are. It is because this 8500 rpm car has just given them the 592hp excitement just at the tip of their feet. The kind of excitement even a 1001hp car at 6000 rpm can't give to them.
4. FERRARI F430 : 8500 RPM
This can be considered as the oldest car in this list. But that does not mean that it can't do what the other car in this list can do. Matter fact ranking fourth against the other new comer can be considered as quite an achievement already. This 4.3 liter V8 will produce 483hp at 8500 rpm. What a superb effort.
5. BMW M3 E92 : 8300 RPM
The fourth generation of BMW M3 which turn out to be a really good locking car. The BMW M-Division have done a real impressive job inside and out with this new M3. They have fitted a 4.0 liter V8 engine that capable of revving up to 8300 rpm and making an enormous power output. 414hp to be exact.
6. HONDA S2000 : 8300 RPM
The car with the smallest engine among all. The least powerful car as well. Does not have a mighty V8 or V10 like the others. But it sure can rev up to 8300 rpm and producing 237hp from it's 2.0 liter motor.
7. BMW M5 E60 : 8250 RPM
Who would have thought that BMW will stress their family car this much. Even some of the supercar manufacture nowadays has restricting their engine only up to 8000 rpm. But BMW has take a brave step by allowing their 5 liter V10 engine that will need to carry a minimum weight of 1.8 tons to rev up to 8250 rpm. But like people always believe,"no guts no glory". And since BMW has shown some guts, so glory is theirs. This super saloon come up with a mighty 500hp under it's hood. Pretty impressive.
8. PAGANI ZONDA CLUBSPORT : 8000 RPM
Asking a 6 liter V12 engine to work 8000 times per minute is quite suicidal actually. But that was what that makes Pagani Zonda Clubsport is such a powerful car. Unlike the other Zonda, this one actually producing 739hp under it's hood. A figure that we can't get out of the ordinary 6000 rpm 6 liter V12.
9. AUDI R8 : 8000 RPM
This car is said to be having the same engine as the Gallardo's engine since the merger between those 2 big corporate. But of course Audi now will Tuned the power output up a little. They manage to squeeze 520hp out of this 5.2 liter FSI V10 engine. But for me 520hp still is not enough from a 5.2 liter motor. It should be more really.
10. PORSCHE CARRERA GT : 8000 RPM
The last entry for this segment is the Porsche Carrera GT 5.5 liter V10 that produces 612hp at 8000 rpm. Which make this car can be called as a high revving vehicle.
