This is a question where only someone who understands how engines work would understand, which was definitely explained by several members, but may be hard to comprehend to Joe Everyman.

Here are a few non-technical points as to why it would be ruinously unlikely to happen. It takes a whole team of F1 mechanics and technicians to start an F1 engine. With idle at 7000rpm, it's also extremely easy to stall the engine. You'll need to fill up everytime you get to work and before you drive home. You'll need to fill up with uber expensive race quality fuel.

Your best bet is for your hi-revving needs is to stick with bikes, or if you have the money and/or skills, you can use the twin-Hayabusa engines that was mated to form one 4-wheel transportation ready engine and put it into another car. From what I've read, the company hasn't sold any yet.

 

An engine is more than redline.

 

Don't say that, all the AP1 guys will get flustered

I actually laughed.

 

I don't know whats worse: the question posited, or the replies....

Why did you choose 18k? How about an engine that revs to 20k? Hell, let's go to 30k.

WAIT - My Rotrex can spin up to 200k so why not get the engine to do that too.

Race engines are designed to run one race before they are rebuilt. I suppose you're OK rebuilding your engine once a week?

In reality, there are too many reasons to mention why you won't see an S2000 reving to 18k. Our engines sound like they are about to explode as it is.
