Is it to warn you? Even my toilet cistern can slow down smoothly.

On cars? Yes. Cutting the engine abruptly when you hit the red line
wouldn't be good so they simulate ignition breakup to give you a hint.

But at that point you've already gone over the peak of the power curve.
I'd just make it drop the curve more quickly so it can never go too
fast.

Not possible to do that and still get the best performance.

The driver would still feel the lack of power.

Makes more sense to have a rev limiter and much easier to do too.


And you ****ed up uk.d-i-y in the newsgroup list, you have uk.diy


Had a rev limiter on my RS1600 with electronic ignition in 1975, it worked
well at 6700 rpm.
