A Couple Of Days Ago I Made A Post About The Highest Revving Single Cylinder Motorcycle Engine,

so today a look at the highest revving cars, and the winner is?

Gordon Murray, he created his T50 supercar, it had to have a naturally aspirated V12 engine, Cosworth Engineering designed the 3.9-litre motor, it reaches a peak of 12,100rpm.

once you leave internal combustion engines behind the Chrysler Turbine Car almost leads the way, only 55 were built as test beds for the gas turbine engine, and only 10 avoided the crusher, the turbine engine generated a modest 130bhp, but it could also give maximum torque of 425lb ft, 44,600rpm

and the winner is? British of course! the Rover JET1 was a fascinating glimpse of what could have been for the 1950s British motor industry, Rover built the gas turbine-powered JET1 based on a P4, the engine was a twin-shaft turbine that produced 145bhp, more than any Rover had up to that point. It could cover 0-60mph in 11.0 seconds, making it very quick for the period. It could rev all the way to 56,000rpm and inspired Rover to work with BRM on a Le Mans race car with a turbine engine that could hit a peak of 65,000rpm, but no road car ever resulted from all of this development. The prototype is today on display at the Science Museum in London to look at other high revving cars the article and these photographs can be found here.
