Answer 2

The question leaves some doubt as to whether the required answer is the name of a "red" and "hot" pepper or "red hot" pepper. Assuming it is the latter ,as most peppers come in green yellow and red:

First off, the heat of chili peppers is measured in Scoville units (SHU). The mildest (Bell peppers) rank zero in Scoville units and pure capsicin (the chemical giving peppers their sting) measures 16,000,000 Scoville units

Other peppers of note:

* Jalapenos are 3,000-6,000 Scoville units * Habaneros rank at 300,000 Scoville units. * The Red Savina Habanero (answers the question no matter what the intent) is the highest ranking chili pepper on the Scoville scale running up a score of 300,000 Scoville units. * There are better though! The Naga Jolokia pepper from India pegs the dial at at over 1,000,000 Scoville units. A list of pepper ranking in Scoville Units (SHU) extracted from link:

* Bell (0 - 100) * El Paso * Anaheim (100 - 500) * Poblano (500 - 1000) * Ancho, Passilla (1000 - 1,500) * New Mexico Green Chilis (1,500) * Jalapeno (3,000 ? 6,000) * Serrano, Yellow Caribe (5,000 - 15,000) * Chile de Arbol, Asian Hots (15,000 - 30,000) * Hidalgo * Serrano * Cayenne, Piquin, Thai (30,000 - 50,000 * Tabasco * Red Chile * Chiltecpin * Tabiche * Bahamian * Kumataka * Aji (50,000 - 100,000) * Habanero, Scotch Bonnet (300,000) * Naga Jolokia (1,000,000+)
