Default C7 LCD Speedometer??

This is Lamborghini's latest model the "Reventon" it has an awsome LCD speedometer that you can change like the HUD in the C6:













Come on GM this is what we mean by futuristic jet fighter interior.

I was just going to post that it looked like my '84 Coupe's dash. I would suspect that they've made strides with the technology however.

Apparently "Reventon" is Italian for "Batmobile" . . . . and have you seen the price tag? $1,500,000!!!!!

GM - HERE IS ONE VOTE - Don't Change a thing on the C7 to go to something like this!! I hated my 1986 with the video screen. When the C5 came out it got "rave reviews" and I think the C6 is even better!

By the way the new Mercedes S-Class has a LCD Speedometer that can change to a night vision screen. I drove one for a couple of weeks in Europe, I really liked it:

Ok... 911 has a nice interior but it has a sticker price of 30k+ over a C6 but it doesn't have anywhere near this nice interior of a 500k car like you have showed. Would you be willing to pay 150k for a Corvette if GM gives you comprable interior??

That's my style. GM probably already has similiar slated for our vettes . . . in 2020! We (US) are way to conservative when we could easily do the same. But it's that way. Obviously, the UK is geared toward speed, hence, the futuristic/sleek designs. At least our steering wheel is close.

200 or 250 Lambo's will be built, I believe, and at a 1.5 mill plus, all are already spoken for.

Loosk fast standing still..

In fact looks to be in fourth, north of 6500 rpms, at 245kph - standing still.

Is that a 10,000rpm red line
