For such a nicely designed car, I have wondered who the f made the decision to include that redundant and barely readable speedo needle. It's about as useless as tits on a bull.

It’s definitely useless, especially next to the super legible digital speedometer readout. They should have used that space to display oil pressure and temp. Or digital dash.

Most of the cars I ever had that had a tach were speedo on the right tach on the left. For the first week or so with the FRS I would keep looking at the left gauge to see the RPMs. They were always very low in the sweep!

My 981 Cayman (2014-2016) had a speedo like this one. The only exception is mine was a base model who's speedo only went up to 175mph. The S and GTS are like the picture below:

Who needs a speedometer. Just try to stay with the minivan in front of you.
