How many revolutions per minute will an internal combustion engine turn?

Huge displacement 6 cylinder common rail Cummins diesels will rev to 4,000 RPM. Depending on the car most gasoline 4 cylinders will rev close to 10,000 RPM, most 6 cylinders rev to maybe 7,000 depending on displacement, and if you push the average V8 very hard it'll hit 6,000 RPM with stock internals, but I wouldn't try it. Cosworth V8 race engines rev to 20,000 RPM, yes, twenty thousand.

What does RPM mean in reference to automobiles?
Revolutions per minute The amount of revolutions the crankshaft in an internal combustion engine takes in 1 minute. Its the "speed" of the engine. The faster it rotates, generally speaking, the closer you'll get to its maximum torque and horsepower output. Trust me, it doesn't take one minute for the crankshaft to turn once. If it did, we would get like 500 miles to the gallon.
