Tachometer; Digitalization With The Looks Of An Analog Tachometer - Lexus LFA Owner's Manual

Tachometer

■ ■
A TFT LCD panel allows for the tachometer needle to be ultra-responsive while
retaining an analog look. This allows the driver to witness the amazing response of the
engine visually while also being treated to its exhilarating acoustics.
To protect the engine when the coolant temperature is low, the tachometer red zone
display changes from between 4,400 to 9,000 rpm.

Digitalization with the looks of an analog tachometer

When idling, the tachometer display is not digitally
processed in order to express the raw, characteristic
fluctuations of a traditional analog needle.
When the needle needs to keep up with fast response,
the tachometer display is digitally processed to create
smooth needle movement with an afterimage of the needle.
The maximum engine speed is displayed.
One of three colors can be chosen
for the tachometer needle.
