I always thought the rev limit was 7100... in this 2022 broucher, it says its 7300.

All that power means nothing if it doesn’t make you feel something.
With an impressive 5.0-liter V8 engine, 471 horsepower1
and
blistering zero-to-60 times, the LC 500 models are engineered to
give the driver a full-throttle experience. By tuning the engine
components down to a fraction of a millimeter—as one would a fine
wind instrument—the powerful engine sound is channeled directly
through the cabin from front to rear as you accelerate. This process
creates unique frequencies calibrated to elicit specific emotional
responses. Take it up to its 7,300-rpm redline, and the result is unlike
anything you’ve ever heard. Or felt.

 

same redline (7300) on the '21 at least.

 

Disagree.

8500 rpm in my old 355 convertible was pure bliss....a sound I have yet to ever hear replicated in any vehicle.

 

it's marketing... doesn't have to be true.

It's probably peak power vs peak rpm

LC500 produces peak power at 7100rpm but is able to rev slightly above that, to a 7300rpm rev limit. To my knowledge, it has always been the case regardless of year

Some sales staff or discussion forums might be conflating the two numbers and causing some confusion

Someone with a pre-2022 can verify this by checking their rpm gauge to see where the redline (not the amber zone) starts. On my 2022, its 7300rpm

 

Agree. Max Rpm 7300. Although mine has never been reset by dealer.

 

From the TIS - Toyota Information System pages on the LS 500 for 2018 through 2022:Variable Red Zone

(1) The red zone of the tachometer starts to help protect the engine at different engine speeds ranging from 3700 to 7300 rpm depending on the engine coolant temperature.

 

My 2018 has 7,300 rev limit as well....

 

Same here,
