Debated with where to put this as it could be in the V6 engine section, or even a bit of "Vs Competition" or "Problems" maybe less so.
I'm particularly interested in opinions of those who have driven somewhat extensively the Evora 400 / GT. Whether the additional rev range changes some of this nature.
Overall, I'm finding, particularly in low gears, multiple times now I've revved the car out and slammed into redline. I've driven my share of fast, sporty, fun cars. Whether V8's, Turbo cars, NA. This is the first supercharged, so it might be something that is fairly common based on power delivery.
Now, in the Emira the rev limit seems, maybe they are opening the bypass valve or cutting fuel or something, honestly feels like someone mashed on the brakes. Rather than a sort of 90's car bouncing off the rev-limit. (No burnouts at revlimit I suppose)
In spirited driving/on ramp sorts of rev-out, it seems like I have to overly be aware of, focused on watching the revs climb to avoid hitting the rev-limit. More so than really any other cars I've driven.
My thoughts are, the car seems to just start picking up steam north of 5k RPM and it wants to keep revving, it keeps picking up power, and for many other cars there's this sort of natural drop in apparent torque or HP that tells you to shift before the rev limit. Does not seem to be the case in the Emira. I don't fear any particular damage or anything, but I do think it will be a distraction while driving the car hard or on track. Maybe just more time in the car will get me better in sync with its natural rhythms, but curious about others' experiences.
