Please see;
Honda F20C, K20A, B18C (8300rpm, 8400rpm, 8200rpm)
Toyota 4AGE (7800 rpm), 2ZZ (7600rpm)
Most supercars have large engines, with 8-12 cylinders, which have a lot more rotational mass than a 4 cylinder (hence all the more impressive when they do rev that high). Sure, most everyday cars don't rev that high either, but it's not impossible, nor even improbable that it could. Just saying.
Also, that being said, the specs do say the peak is at 8000, not 8500.
