The car in question belongs to Michael Uehli, and it’s quite far from stock. Originally a twin-turbo model, it now sports a Toyota 1.5 JZ straight six, variable valve timing, a new Garrett turbo, and some other bits and bobs that endow the car with 510 hp (380 kW) and 499 lb-ft (677 Nm). But that wasn’t what grabbed my attention—it was the Powertune digital dash with a custom Street Fighter II UI, with Ken battling Ryu.
The health bars at the top display engine coolant temperature (left) and rpm (right), and as the revs climb, Ryu fires an energy bolt out at Ken. Between the two bars is the speed display. At the bottom of the display is other useful data, like battery voltage, oil pressure, boost pressure, and the engine’s gear.
The custom UI was created by Gasketfuka, who also has some other dash layouts available, not all of which are entirely safe for work.
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time for OEMs to get a little brave. Go on, open up those UIs a little.
