Something not quite right here...

Been having a mooch on one of my favourite cars, the Lamborghini Espada and saw one on Car and Classic. Strange thing is, looking at the interior picture of the speedometer, it shows it only going up to 100mph, and yet the Espada had a top speed of 152mph.

Lamborghini Espada Performance Specifications.

Lamborghini Espada Top Speed: The Lamborghini Espada S II - [1969] has a top speed of 155 mph (249.4 kph)
Lamborghini Espada Acceleration: This Espada reaches 0 to 60 mph (96.6 kph) in 7.8 seconds and can cover a 1/4 mile in an estimated 13.75 seconds.

I suspect that the dial in picture might be the rev counter - on occasion, I've seen similar, albeit there's no redline on that clock and 10,000rpm is slightly beyond what might be wise...

Italians are almost as advanced with ergonomics as Americans are with geography.
