There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the Lexus LF-A. The exterior may look a little soft and boring but I’m in love with the cool instrument panel. The rev meter can actually physically move around according to the display’s needs! You’ll see what I mean in the video after the jump. Trust the Japanese to come up with something as techno-funky as this – totally gimmicky but damn cool.

0OMG! Really super duper damn cool!!! Just gotta keep it as 1 of the items in my wishlist..
0 0the only thing that moves is the front Ring of the Rev meter. the rest is one piece of LCD panel. but that does make a damn good, and i am serious , a damn good effect !
0 0cool..lcd..can hack later to play movie on it…lol
0 0want one??just pay GBP 350,000 and u can have it …hheheehehhe
0 0gosh~how cool is tat!!..wat r their brains made of?..haha
0 0better keep ur eye on the road than the odo.
esp. car that fast
0 0does the car really move when accelerating?
cos the trip shows 0.0km
or is this a simulator? the camera doesnt shake at all..
0 0Fuiyoh… the meter looks like from GUNDAM or MACROSS. Japanese really can do wonder with technology. I wonder if they got inspired from MANGA.
0 0vlwh said,
totally agree with u dude. read in the paper a couple of weeks ago about Honda's single tyred motorbike…a resemblance of Bulma's capsule corp bike in Dragon Ball..totally cool!!perhaps malaysian will get their inspiration from Upin & Ipin…correct3!
0 0Time for external RPM/Boots meter manufacture to make something similar to this
It will be one of the cool gadget in car haha
0 0That's a breakthrough Odometer, better than the lamboghini reventon!
0 0The will be in future accident, when police come by ask why…
Polis, "Tunjuk lesen…"
Driver "aiyoh tok… i was distracted with my cool animation dashboard!"
0 0more feel like a race game display panel….
0 0this looks like a gran turismo game machine
0 010 more years, you will see that in affordable cars.
0 0i think this can compete with reventon display… both are equal with technologis and coolness….
0 0very cool feat!
the odometer can be configured to show optimal shifting rpm..
great for drag race i guess.. =)
and i wonder how the speedometer is able to show up to 100km/h but the trip meter doesn't even add 0.1km?

0 0Japanese just never let us down with electronic gadgets!

>>> Savvy reminds me of Lagann, if you watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, you'll know it.
torque : makes sense? Err… no. I think the british will still want an Aston. Europeans wouldn't pay for a cool meter panel, but they'll pay the brand. These crazy japanese… they just don't get it. Their cars just doesn't work in europe, elsewhere maybe, but in europe, Continental brand reigns supreme.
Lexus should market LF-A to Hollywood stars. They'll have higher chance of success there.

0 0Typical Lexus…. attention to details…..no wonder this car cost so much.
the technology and build material are best in business and no cost spared.
It is a automotive masterpiece and only 500 will exist in this world….
As the saying goes. What you see is what you get ( or paid for)…..

Can't argue with that point but I'll bet every 500 units of them will sold out no matter what we mediocre citizen says wheter its worth it or not….
0 0Yeah, but like i said, they have better chance of selling those 500 elsewhere outside Europe.
We always like to make assumptions that the "filthy rich", whoever they are, don't treasure their hard earned money at all. That, as long as something is overpriced, they'll buy it on reflex. Truth is, it's not always the case, especially between Japan and Europe. IMHO, it's fundamentally due to the culture. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've been to any European country.

Yup…and my guess it'll be the US and of course the middle East…just like the story which this dude sending his Lambo to England just for servicing…
0 0The side blue bars in HUD is looks like the blue bar in GT4!!
0 0any1 will buy a car just on that meter alone? Say we dump that meter into a screw up car like …err… skoda …. will anyone buy a skoda now?
0 0This isn't a gimmick at all, but totally necessary. The 1LR-GUE V10 engine the LF-A uses revs from idle to redline in 0.6 seconds. The engineers said a mechanical analog dial would be too slow. I guess if you've got to make a dial digital just to work, you might as well make it look like a video game interface while you're at it.
0 0Wow, but I'm wondering how the meter ring ''moves''?
0 0i guess they manipulate all the OBD cade from the ECU to be presented on that cool panel… the meter response so fast…lol..
