Although not a road car the Metro 6R4 had things on the passenger side, presumably as it is easier for the co-driver to read them

Those are the instruments the co-driver needs to navigate with.

Whats weird about those gauge locations? They are right where you would expect.

I'm sure a few different Maybach models have dials up in their ceilings telling the rear passengers temperature, speed and time.

I hope the wiring to the head unit isn't representative...

Thats just the stupid amount of pre-outs that Alpine give you. Was always a bd fitting the in.

I do wish that ///M cars had heads up display for the front passenger - To sort of get them in on the excitement of getting to red line and the speed shooting up (only up to 70 on NSL dual carriageways of course...)

Whereas it was a doddle fitting the stupid amount of gauges and switches in?

Ferrari 250GTO. Speedometer required for road use, but of no use when racing, so...

Outside, a thing of beauty, inside, just what were they thinking?

While I'm thinking about it.






I had 2 of these. Doesn't stop me loathing the dash.

Agreed, wtf though? Shelby Coupé?

No where near as outlandish as the other posts but i always thought the two gauges in the center console on the Vauxhall Calibra were awkwardly placed;

You know I don't mind this centre gauge thing. At least the wheel's got getting in the way
