Nice find, suspect that official redline is 7600rpm (slightly above 7500rpm has been claimed by BMW).

In the onboard videos it seems like the drivers shift well before 7500, in fact under 7000rpm. Which makes sense as acceleration will be greater in the next gear instead of pushing to the redline like you would in a NA engine.

I guess that the short stroke will improve response compared to the N55 at least
