Yeah i noticed that earlier Dippy,

but then in one of RG's posts he sayd "200mph speedo" ie above where this pic was posted when he posted it.

But then that km/h light made me suspuscious as well...tahts why im waiting for RG to answer.
Its also not a merc thing to have speedos in km/h rite!/ so that made me lean towards mph......plus amg should atleast go till 200MPH on the speedo.....
id honestly be shocked if the analog speedo went only till 200km/h.
Hey, i wonder if its possible that u could choose the units for the analog speedo...wouldnt that be cool...? (maybe that is the case!?)

cheers

or cud it be possible that theres a toggle switch to move from mph to kmph. and the numbers on the dials change accordingly. cos some SL55s do have the speedo calibrated to 300 kmph.

Nope, it cost 1.7 Lakhs and well the 250 also I hardly use it I mean on the Expressway I reach 250 and then I gotta slow down for a Curve. So I think 250 is enough.

Yea I can toggle between Km/H and M/H on the Analogue Speedometer but with the Star Diagnostic Computer attached only. Well I hated the M/H reading and had the Speedo caliberated to Km/H. I have oredered the 330 Km/H Speedo. So now I gotta wait for it to come.

What happens when u toggle between kmph and mph?? What i mean to ask is , do those dials display change from mph [20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200] to kmph [30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300]
Many cars have the same speedo dial for kmph and mph.
