What is the redline rpm of the Lexus LFA's V10 engine?

The redline rpm of the Lexus LFA’s V10 engine is 9,000 rpm.

The LFA’s 4.8-liter 1LR-GUE V10 was developed with Yamaha Motor Company and uses lightweight forged components, titanium valves, and dry-sump lubrication. Its 72-degree bank angle allows even firing without a split-journal crankshaft.

The engine produces its maximum power at 8,700 rpm, placing the redline only slightly higher. A common mix-up is the separate fuel-cut setting: the rev limiter intervenes at 9,500 rpm. That is an electronic cutoff, not the engine’s stated redline.

The LFA’s high-revving character was central to its identity. It could accelerate through its rev range exceptionally quickly, prompting Lexus to use a digital tachometer because a conventional needle could not keep up with the engine’s rapid changes in speed.
