Redline refers to the maximum engine speed at which an internal combustion engine or traction motor and its components are designed to operate without causing damage to the components themselves or other parts of the engine.You explained it well enough the first time . I hadn't paid any attention to the analog 2018 cluster earlier....thanks for that pic. It appears that the redline on that cluster is at 7400 as well.
You mention a "marketing redline". We have "shaded areas" and we'll have a fuel cut rpm somewhere above 7500rpm....but redline is redline. It's the red line on the gauge. The start of the red zone.....or where the original Bullitt engine builder Max Balchowsky put the "little pieces" bit of masking tape on the tacho as a warning to Steve not to over-rev the car during the chase scene.
I guess it really doesnt matter what redline means as long as we understand whats going on at the redline/fuel cut points.
