Why isn't the rev counter at the redline where it should be at those speeds in a 1.2?

in fact you will struggle to get the rev counter over 5kRPM in 5th, you will hit redline in 4th and actually be going faster than if you were maxing out in 5th

if thats in 5th gear, then your speedo is reading out since top speed is attained in 4th

5th is an overdrive, you wont be able to max revs in that
