Audi TT Virtual Cockpit
This is pretty impressive, wish BMW would get their gauges to this level.

I'd take a mechanical LSD over that.

I would take an advanced HUD over it. However it's pretty clear BMW is moving towards LCD instrument clusters as well

Yeah when I drove a TTS a while back I loved it. That car especially the rest of the cockpit is so clean it's great. Think it's the best interior south of spending crazy money on a S63 or something.

And guys, another thing is, the way the interior feels now is just incredible. I was always bitching about the old Audi cockpit for using cheap plastic, buttons feeling hollow and making the wrong sound. Nothing like this is to be found in their new cockpit. It feels super expensive. I don't know but BMW really has something up in their pipeline, because from the pictures of the new 5 series interior don't seem that revolutionary.

AudiUSA--just bring over the RS6 Avant, with or without virtual cockpit (I don't care), and I would be a pig in...

Being "pretty" is one thing (and the virtual cockpit IS really pretty), but the fact that I have to look down for any information instead of having my line of sight towards the road (through peripheral vision) is really concerning. All information should be in the line of sight of the driver, which means at the same height/level of looking at the road.
I'd much rather have an advanced HUD than a glitzy speedometer.

^^i agree. It looks pretty but not for me . I normally have my steering wheel set at the lowest position so right away itd block half the screen anyways. It should be up in the middle so I don't have to look down ...

I will go against the grain here, and say I prefer the standard gauges.
I have not driven the Audi virtual cockpit, but I have driven the Lamborghini Hurcan which is pretty similar. Also, my car has a LCD cluster and my wife's X5 has digital gauges. While it is cool that my cluster turns red when I put into sport, I just prefer the traditional gauges with the HUD. I will say that Lambo/Audi implementation is much better than BMW's, and it is only a matter of time before all cars go digital cluster. |

I've had a couple of cars with different implementations of stuff. Honestly the implementation in my Huracan may be my least favorite. I like having a separate screen like in my X5M along with a HUD. However, I do like digital gauges. The digital gauges in my Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT were nice, and I would have liked having that in the X5M instead of the analog. I also liked the setup in my 911 GT3 which had one digital gauge and the rest analog.
I really don't like the Huracan/Audi setup with everything right in front of your face. It's kind of a mess. |

i had a new r8+ for extended drive couple weeks back and i didn't like it at all
i might be getting old, but i still prefer analogue gauges in a sports car, it adds to the drama and theatre of the drive in an a3 that i'd use to go buy milk and cookies, yeh it wouldn't matter so much audi australia didn't pay their google subscription fees, so having a 4 colour nav map in front of you isn't all that cutting edge virtual and one big issue i found while reversing.......

.... You're getting old. LOL Full disclosure though, I've never driven an Audi with the new display, and it may indeed feel a little unexciting in its execution. Thanks for the feedback. |
