What are people going to do with the G force gauge? Unlike speed, engine RPM, fuel reserves etc., people can sense acceleration perfectly well themselves. They wouldn't be able to put a number on it (although maybe could with training), but what good is that anyway?
And what even is the gauge on the left? It's just numbers without units.
This just looks like a gimmick because they wanted three gauges but lost engine RPM. Excusable for something like a wristwatch which is only there for aesthetic reasons, but a car where the gauges are there for safety reasons?
I've never had one but it would be kind of interesting to see what the max cornering force was and maybe useful to see how close to the limit you are.
What limit? The limit is when the tyres lose traction, not some number on a screen.
I'm curious what the number is at that point. I think about 0.6g for your average car in the dry.
