they dont have a rev counter so no red line, and they arnt designed for high revs its supposed to be an economical car.

But probs around 6250

i've actually just looked somewhere else, and it says the maximum bhp is 60bhp @ 6200rpm! i did the comparison bit, my car is a saxo 1.1 X 5 door smileys/happy.gif

clicky here (http://www.whatcar.com/car-comparison.aspx?M=2&U=1&ED=3900)

so i guess mine can rev up to 6200rpm smileys/smiley14.gif
