What does "Rev" Mean in Car Terms?

"Rev" is a slang term that refers to the engine of a car, particularly in American English. To "rev" something means to make the engine of a car run faster, usually by pressing the accelerator pedal.

For example, if you're driving a car and you want to go faster, you might "rev" the engine by pressing the accelerator pedal harder. This will make the engine run faster and the car will speed up.

The term "revved" is the past tense of "rev," so it refers to the act of revving the engine of a car in the past. For example, if you were driving a car and you pressed the accelerator pedal hard to make the engine run faster, you might say that you "reved the engine."
