Our test car occasionally brushed against the engine's rev limiter as a further reminder that we were in a prototype vehicle with a new transmission whose programming wasn't yet perfect.

That depends on rev limiter.

The expressive tonality of the exhaust note is also seductive; punch the V - 12 past 4000 rpm and hum morphs to snarl, pushing hard until the abrupt, 7000 - rpm rev limiter.

Some like the grumbly noise and the surprisingly punchy mid range, while others think the noise is too industrial, the way it revs too lethargic and the soft rev limiter that slows acceleration way before the red line incredibly frustrating.

I was surprised that the diesel engine raced up to 5000 rpm before hitting the rev limiter.

A boombox - loud package styled to please the aficionados at the annual Woerthersee gathering earlier this year in concept form (and later made its production - spec debut at the 2015 Frankfurt show), it loves to spin its front wheels to the point where ESP intercepts, takes great pleasure in regular in - fights with the rev limiter, and can make window panes rattle at random when trumpeting through the suburbs of Volkswagenville.

Up to 5,000 rpm, it's a familiar experience — as if I've become accustomed to the GT - R's other - worldly performance over the years and that initial slug has lost some of its sting — but as the revolutions rise, the way this revised car charges for the rev limiter is all new.

A rev limiter in an ECU limits the RPM's so the end user will not damage their engine by over revving it and having a valve to piston contact event which is catastrophic.

Most surprising and impressive is the paddle - shift manual mode for the transmission: it serves up smooth and quick downshifts and will hold a gear right up to the rev limiter.

With the rev limiter off, the McLaren F1 hit a speed of 242.8 mph, a world record for a production car that wasn't eclipsed until the Bugatti Veyron came around.

If you now have a higher top end speed because you can push the engine into redline deeper because the rev limiter was removed from the system then you are potentially damaging your engine due to over revving.

Those who prefer to interact with the drivetrain via their fingertips must first hit Dynamic and then remember that this setup does not perform self - acting upshifts when the rev limiter signals game over.

When you shift yourself, the automatic holds gears to the rev limiter instead of upshifting for you, and downshifts as you decelerate.

Touch the rev limiter at just past 7000 rpm, grab second, and the FR - S keeps accelerating like it has extra cylinders.

Despite the phenomenal midrange punch and explosive full - throttle acceleration in fourth and fifth gear, the real hell - breaks - lose effect concentrates on the final 1,200 rpm compressed between 6,000 rpm and the rev limiter.

Step Four: Slam directly into the rev limiter because you weren't paying attention, and the Super20 makes its way through first gear in just 1.92 seconds, according to our VBOX.

Turbo lag is bit more pronounced than that of the 2.0 T, but the engine comes alive around 2,250 RPM and pulls strongly and evenly right to the rev limiter, with peak torque delivered right all the way to 5,000 RPM.

Now my car (an older 320i), certainly can't hit 8,500 RPM - it can do a bit over 6,500 RPM before I need to shift (the rev limiter kicks in shortly after that).

In the 812, however, torque is stronger from the word go and builds to a crescendo until the rev limiter comes into play, pretty much mirroring the power curve.

As already established, the longer you hold it the its running maximum (whether with or without a rev limiter), the sooner the engine will die... and have no doubt, the longer you hold it there, the sooner it will die.

It's reasonably safe (but slightly less so) to say that if the car has a catalytic converter, it probably has electronic ECU with fuel injection, and thus a rev limiter.

It would be safe to say that a car that has electronic ECU and fuel injection probably has a rev limiter too.

Throughout the rev range it mimics the torque of a steam locomotive, from down low all the way to the rev limiter with stunning mid-range surge.

For instance, the rev limiter can be tuned to only engage at around 7000RPM (assuming it's at 6500 from the factory) or the turbo boost pressure can be increased from 0.3 bar to 0.35 bar (or add about 10 - 20 % to whatever that is in PSI).

Both would hit full throttle at the same time but by the time this mystery rival came on boost the 488 would have already hit its rev limiter.

I'd expect that one of the modifications would be adjusting / removing the rev limiter, but I also expect that if I did that to my engine as is, it would suffer.
