Hi I have a 4.2 auto 2008 Granturismo. It has been serviced about 6 months ago & only driven about 4000 miles so had full oil change etc at a reputable place
Today I had it in the sort-of manual mode where you push the gear lever to the left. I was stationary in gear 1. Pulled away and floored it & I assumed the car would shift to 2 or the rev limiter would kick in. It seemed to rev through orange to red on the rev meter before I realised & I shifted it up to 2. Got home about 2 mins later & when I parked, there was quite a bit of steam / smoke coming from the bonnet which I opened & it cleared in about 45 seconds. Steam / smoke wasn't black & didn't smell of burning as far as I could make out
Have I broken it? I reaslise now that it doesn't up shift at the limit but surely it has a rev limiter & even the manual seems to say that it won't let you over rev the engine!
Please advise! Thanks
