owners. Using over-the-air updates, Ford is adding a new custom gauge option for the digital instrument cluster, and it emulates the gauges of the original.
The new instrument panel features skeuomorphic graphics that have the dual circular speedometer and tachometer like the original, down to the chrome ring and needle centers, narrow font and red needles. Though it’s only the speedometer and tachometer that adopt the retro look, with cool ant
temperature, center in formation section and fuel gauge remaining more modern in design. But they will retain the same color
scheme as the retro graphics to help them match.
Based on the images, the look seems to work quite well. We’ll be interested to see them in person, and how they work. Afterall, the original gauges, as shown in the above Instagram video, have loads of depth and dimension to them, being physical gauges from an era when automakers were still willing to make ornate instruments.
This is the second retro gauge cluster Ford has released for the current-generation M ustang
The update is completely free for every current-generation Mustang, regardless of powertrain or trim. It will be available to add wirelessly starting today. And it’s a very neat way to include more Mustang owners in on the celebration of the model’s history. It also leaves us wondering what other Mustang gauge designs will be added in the future. Let us know what you think in the comments, and tell us what gauges you’d like to see added.
