600V DC from 12V DC Source

Ian0 said:
Yes - I did mean Vce(sat) - 1.8V is a lot to lose from a 12V supply - it only leaves 10.2V across the coil, but if the series resistance of the coil is much lower it won't be the limiting factor.

Modern coils are really low resistance, "A typical value would read 0.4 - 2 ohms." from - https://help.summitracing.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5098/~/ignition-coil-primary-resistance
All of the online answers agree with those numbers.
