Which dashboard design do you like better?
The design of the dashboard has changed constantly over the decades. And not everyone likes what others like.
The dashboard of the Bugatti35 B/C from 1927 with its wonderful instruments is not quite simple either, but it is free of frills and frills. Function was the primary requirement here; after all, this was a racing car.
The situation is different with today's De TomasoP72 , where efforts were obviously made to install classic clocks instead of modern LCD displays. Whether the result is convincing is not so easy to judge. The color scheme and design elements are certainly not everyone's cup of tea. At least the P72 is still equipped with round instruments and does not simply display a huge screen like some of its competitors.
Back to the Bugatti. The pure and undisguised mechanics are simply timelessly beautiful and everlasting. What's more, it can be dismantled and repaired at any time, if only thanks to the simple screw connection, something that will no longer be possible in ten or twenty years' time with all the electronic and digital bits and bobs. The sticker at the top reminds the driver of the gear and engine speed so as not to exceed the speed limit in the pit lane. In today's sports and racing cars, it is activated at the touch of a single button and, of course, is not correctly adhered to if the presetting is incorrect, just like cruise control.
