obviously in a later than 2008 N/A Elise/Exige/2-11 with the black tachometer. :whistle:
Planning on configuring the LEDs on my datalogger display, so I need accurate data 
Anyone?
The manual says …
A red tell tale lamp lights at high rpm ( dependant on gear engaged ) to warn that maximum engine speed is being approached .
When exploiting full acceleration,gearchange upshifts should be made immediately the tell tale lights.
…
8000 rpm = max continuous
8500 rpm = very short bursts through lower gears only.
Edit … This is with a 2006 car …
Yep, i think a number of factors are involved, as you get more warning in a lower gear than a higher one as you have less time to react IUSWIM

The above is also applicable to the 2010 Cup 260
I’ve also heard that if you incur over revs on a down change aka ‘buzz’ the engine, the dash will light up with a big picture of a donkey’s head
I have not experienced this myself though
