The front shots with the wiper in alignment with the split weave are weird, they make it look like a cut-and-shut job but down the middle !
The dials look beautiful but they are far far too fussy there is no way you could drive hard and be able to get anything useful from the central dial by glancing at it.
The idea behind the dials are that you can get both the optimal RPM per speed you are having, since they are aligned i na good visual way at perfect RPMS and speed.
I think the weave in carbo nfibre is perfectly aligned, or am I missing somehting?

I paid attention to that when I saw the car at the Top Marques in Monaco this year.
And I can say...
... No, it isn't. In that car, the front bumper was not aligned with the front hood, and it seemed to me that the "V point" of the thread was not in the right centre axis of the car.
In a few words, it lacks the staggering perfection of a Zonda F's carbonfiber thread. Sure, Koenigsegg made some great improvements, but compared to Pagani, they're still light years away.
Plus, it appears to be much more "rough" in terms of textures.

I dont buy that. Sure, I appreciate this is the marketing(?) line they told you and its what they believe. But no ones going to convince me that with all those numbers together and then three different needles moving with different speeds in an arc across them that it will be a clear and easy experience to gather information from glancing at them.
Resonable idea for a track perhaps, but personally if your going to simplify speedometer to tacometer combination for track use I prefer the approach of using colour change representing RPMs for the speedo needle and numbers.
But what car are these lit dials going in ? Because theyre not in this one ?
