This is a continuation of the first model I posted. After a lot of thought I decided to keep the dash clean. At 250+mph you don't want distractions, just a clear view of whats soon to be behind you. The steering wheel has an LED tach setup. There is a heads up display for the windshield which displays vehicle speed. The pod behind the steering wheel is used for speed as well as vehicle vitals such as tire temp, engine temp, tranny temp, oil pressure etc etc. The pie shape layout makes it easy to stack this information in the LCD. The center console houses a standard flat LCD monitor to control every other aspect of the vehicle. The controls are next to the drivers right hand under a slide away door. There is a central knob which allows for navigation as well as a host of buttons surrounding the knob. These are function buttons linked to options on the screen. There are also buttons for left/right windows. I also felt the addition of a grab handle for the passenger was a must. The blue LCD panels just indicate location of information. The idea is clean flowing lines, simple layout and minimal distractions.
