[QUOTE="flash, post: 123491, member: 62"] Yeah, now I remember reading about that. The V10s tend to be smoother above 15k, hence we were seeing 19+k rpms. But at 19k rpms, the V8s would have vibrations. FIA thot by going 90 deg V8, we would not be seeing such rarefied RPMs. Perhaps the engineers at BMW have found that by going even higher RPMs, the vibrations would inherently be lesser? :dunno: Keeps us wondering what the max limits would be.... maybe 25k rpm would be the norm very soon? But I would not want to be around such an engine when it lets go.... won't be pretty. [/QUOTE]
