Lets see what instrument cluster designs people like :D Personally, I like these:

[Ldesu]

Huayra

Best picture I could find

[Leo Leonardo]

New 7 Series programmable LCD instruments.

[Koenigsegg]

Cosworth's Omega D2 Cluster, Simple yet robust.

[Saber15]

Vector W8


The rest of the interior is shitty, but goddamn the dashboard display is awesome.

Yes, these rock! I dont know how to describe it, one part is simplistic (not too many stuff on it/around it), one part is no big (IMO ugly) light shields (like on Golf), nice numbers and pointers, round (not cut, like on some cars, like Hyundai i30 or square or something similar), I also like the chrome around them and on pointers. Very nice design. Symmetric. Nice choice of colors (although I like red LCD more).

Edit: Oh yes, and the (plastic) housing around also plays an important role, this one is close to perfect.

Might as well add to the retro-futuristic collection by adding the Slingshot

[Siminov]

Volvo 240 R sport cluster.

Seen new ones go for $1500

Here is one compared to a stock cluster:

I don't have any chrome trimming on my car seeing as I have the base model :<

Chrome is just a bonus. Golf IV doesnt have chrome trimming either but I still like its instrument cluster:

Why not, its as good a topic as any :D I dont know about you but even if I liked the car outside a lot I wouldn't consider buying it if it had unsatisfying instrument cluster. After all, its a part of the car Ill be looking at most of the time.

Ehhh, I'd judge a car on a bit more than that. I find myself looking at the road and the radio more than the cluster actually

Ofcourse, I am talking strictly about design/aesthetic part of a car.

without posts like that this would just be another generic AA forum, without humor and shit like that it'd be like going to a generic car forum

[ThermalArc]

>implying

oh shit I'm all wrong

generic~

[Ollih]

i really like the ridiculous digital dashes from 80's

[Jackpody]

Took the picture myself, I might even buy the car. it was beautiful.

Edited:

really hard to find pics of the gauge cluster so you have to use your imagination and think you can only see the cluster.

I love combos, digital LCD in the middle that can show speed and beautiful analog speedo and tachometer on each side. Like on some Audi's.

I dont know, but its a good question.

wrong fucking thread bro

[henryhendrixx]

I hate clusters that the speedometer goes up by 20s. I drove my dads 1995 chevy 1500 for a while and I loved it so much, big V8, manual, and the gauge cluster.



I love everything about it.

I too love the simplicity sometimes and its better if speedo goes up by 10, sadly thats rare when measuring unit is kph as they are smaller than miles and theres little room for increments by 10. But for me it has to be two equally sized meters: tachometer and speedometer, one on left, second on right side (or vice versa). Like this Renault Megane I cluster: simple and nice looking (for my taste)

[henryhendrixx]

That's almost exactly like my GTi
