Narrative:

I was the first officer (PF) on flight on sep/tue/06 from las to ZZZ. The captain xferred control to me and I began the takeoff. At approximately 140 KTS (V1=153 KTS) the captain announced 'abort' and aborted the takeoff. We stopped with considerable runway remaining. The captain elected to abort due to the left engine egt exceeding limits. (The indicator turns red when limit is exceeded.) we performed all normal checklists and referenced the non-normal procedure for a rejected takeoff. We communicated with local operations and maintenance and coordinated a return to the gate. We referenced the brake cooling schedule. The egt returned to normal at idle. No injuries or aircraft damage occurred.
