6000 rpm??? that is when Vtech kicks in. The redline is 9000 rpm on the 99-03's and 8000rpm from therafter.

Very few cars have the 9000rpm redline.

that's what I meant. This thing just flies once you cross 6000 rpm. The other cars in the non ferrari/lambo category to have redlines at around 8k rpm are probably the M cars from BMW.

For me, the most interesting would be the animation of the mechanism of a chronometric. Can someone oblige?

My favorite will always remain the High Tech yet minimalist Black Panel from Beemer.

Porschefire · 11th October 2011, 16:28

For a change,may i add one of the worst tacho designs?

+1 to that. Hate everything about that console. Placement, colour, design, font...everything!

Among classics, my favourite is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (1967), also called "Eleanor". Absolutely stunning, nothing beats her!!

Among more recent cars, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 (2006) looks quite impressing too..

Of late, there have been so many sleek designs for the tachometer ( and speedometer). Some of the designs that I loved (in A to D segments) are:

a) XUV
b) Verna
c) Civic

One of the best designs that I would rate is of the i45 which is yet to be launched (source: Cardekho.com):

Going further, I would love to see the companies adopting the Jaguar styling of variable designs

I know its a long shot, but wishing is free

Reviving this amazing thread after almost 8 years. Some really awesome tachos posted here.
Surprisingly, no one mentioned some of these.

1. SLS AMG's (That metallic finish)

2. Pagani Huayra (just woww)

3. Lancia Delta Intragale (complex yet simple)

PICS : Celebrating the Rev Counter!-1539772242612.jpg

4. Aston Martin DB9 ( Another drool-worthy metal)

PICS : Celebrating the Rev Counter!-1539772662661.jpg

Okay time for some wacky (read cool) ones.
1. Subaru XT turbo
It had a 3D effect, with revs coming towards you as you floored it

2. Wector W8
I dare you to read the gauge and drive at the same time
