Normal operation - you're hitting the Rev Limiter.

Unlike the Manual cars, the Tiptronic Control Unit (computer) won't let you do that - self preservation.

BTW, by the time you hit the limiter, you've already gone past peak HP anyway - the power curve has downturned, reving that high is useless, and not especially good for the TipS.

Cheers!
