Tachometer red line lights

Though the actual redline starts at the 7500 mark, expect the rev limiter to kick in a bit after that.

I was thinking that maybe the use of a lighted display for the Tach indicates that redline is adjusted depending on the current mapping of M settings selected by Driver? Would say sport plus allow an additional 200+ revs before shifts at the expense of MPH over a soft setting. I'm not a techie but still fascinated by the tech in this car.
