Checking the engine

Tachometer

A TFT LCD panel allows for the tachometer needle to be ultra-responsive while

retaining an analog look. This allows the driver to witness the amazing response of the

engine visually while also being treated to its exhilarating acoustics.

To protect the engine when the coolant temperature is low, the tachometer red zone

display changes from between 4,400 to 9,000 rpm.

The maximum engine speed is displayed.

One of three colors can be chosen

for the tachometer needle.

Digitalization with the looks of an analog tachometer

When idling, the tachometer display is not digitally

processed in order to express the raw, characteristic

²uctuations of a traditional analog needle.

When the needle needs to keep up with fast response,

the tachometer display is digitally processed to create

smooth needle movement with an afterimage of the needle.
