aceleração do motor, rotação do motor

Notei que o motor está girando muito mais alto do que estaria se estivesse eu a conduzir..


Explanation:
Tecnicamente o motor gira mais rápido, mas por convenção falamos "girar mais alto".

Rev refere-se à velocidade do motor.

Talvez caiba também "Notei que as rotações do motor estão mais altas/elevadas do que estariam se estivesse eu a conduzir".
