Look at how fast it gets to 9000+ rpm (being driven by race car driver Scott Pruett).
That is the beauty of highly engineered, high-revving engines with tons of compression and super fast piston speeds.
Lexus is just getting in the game and they are coming with a bang since the LF-A is simply astonishing. BMW has been doing it for years and they built an amazing V10 in the M5. All they needed was a super light car weighing no more than 3300 - 3400 lbs and stash an updated more efficient version S65 V8 and V10 in the next generation. It would have improved everything.
Instead, such a shame that BMW decided to pick the character-less, boring, bland low-compression engine with a turbo slapped on it route.
