In this thread we don't post any lame ribbon speedos or mechanical dials.
From this:
...the amazing Peugeot Quasar concept (1984, if you couldn't tell by the woman's awesome outfit.)
Yes, I realize it's probably a mock-up. I don't care. The fact that my Peugeot doesn't have instrumentation like this is a crime against civilization.

The only way they could make this one better is if you could move the little car indicator left & right with the steering wheel and dodge obstacles on the virtual road. While actually driving.

Wow. I've never seen that before. That holds up really well unlike pretty much every other digital dash from that era. Makes me want one.

A standard tach(and being on my phone) keeps me from posting my 8th gen civic. It felt like a spaceship when I got it.
Mid-80's Lebaron and E-Class
not cool 80s-retro, but....Lamborghini Reventon:

Really? I'd love to know what year that was. Looks nothing like my '89 626 LX.
When I was 18, I had a new Chevy with the digital dash. Everybody was bashing the idea at the time, but I thought that it was very usable, though not very pretty.
I think a digital speedometer with an analog tach is the best combo. My Cayman has both an analog and digital speedometer and I never even look at the dial, only the digits.
I wouldn't want a numerical readout for the tach or speedometer. With a moving dial gauge, you can see both the current number and the rate of change at a glance.
