The new instrumentcluster for the Koenigsegg CCX

[Gustav]

I am very curious how this works when using it. Everything looks very closely integrated.

"A new and revolutionary instrument cluster with intuitive display of all important information. The New Koenigsegg Chronograph Direct Focus Instrument Cluster - envisioned by Christian v. Koenigsegg & engineered in-house by the Koenigsegg Engineering Team.

Key Features:

• New Revolutionary Design - Patent Pending
• One single focus to read the most critical data; RPM, Oil pressure, Speed and Boost
• No need to re-focus. The driver’s eyes can be back on the road at least 50% faster compared to traditional dials or LCD readouts, without the utilization of the sometimes disturbing pop- up windscreen displays.
• The main instrument can help visualize the gear ratios and the infl uence of boost pressure on the RPM advance, as well as velocity and oil pressure

The most intriguing feature of the new instrument cluster is the Patent Pending tri-axial 3D three pointer layout. With this layout the relations between the velocity, engine speed and boost pressure become instantly clear in an unprecedented fashion. The driver can easily pick up on gear ratios and boost pressure enhanced acceleration through the gears.

As the driver become accustomed to this new concept, he will fi nd that during spirited driving there is no need to look at the actual numbers on the dials, but at the relationship and angles between the needles and how they interact with each other, since they all pivot from the same point, similarly to a traditional timepiece. Due to this the driver can re-direct focus from the instrumentation to the road ahead at least 50% faster compared to traditional systems.

Furthermore, this is the fi rst instrumentation in a road car that can actually describe the gear ratios in a comprehendible fashion.

The instrument cluster displays a large amount of understandable information in a small area without the need for menus or the fl icking of buttons. The dials use a non-refl ective high contrast surface with innovative illumination and fl uorescent style needles, a combination often found in aircraft, again for maximum clarity.

With the logical grouping of information in the central cluster, the driver will fi nd fast moving, primary inter-related data in a fi xed pattern. The left satellite shows the slow moving needles, such as temperatures and fluid levels.

In the right satellite, the driver fi nds the distance traveled and a vital and clearly stated fuel pressure dial in solitude.

The warning lights are located in related groups and are only visible when activated, as they otherwise are hidden behind aluminum tinting that matches the billet machined anodized instrument housing.

The design is pure and clean Scandinavian, based on the now famous Koenigsegg circular interior features in combination with exclusive materials."

Come on, Gustav. Gotta' stay sharp.

LOL... that is one messy cluster.

[Gustav]

The idea behind it is to see the relative angles among the instruments and by then see that everything is in order.

Very interesting this machine-human interfaces... But that looks a bit messy yes. Maybe with experience all that is needed is a quick scan to check that all the needles are in the right position and that`s it.

Way too busy like a pilots watch.

Christian told me that it is how the dials relate to each other that makes them possible to rad at a glance.
