The Tramontana Group is an inde­pen­dent automaker located on the Costa Brava in Spain. The man­u­fac­turer of exclu­sive tailor-made unveiled its Tramontana R Edition open-wheel two-seater that gets peo­ple who are bored with reg­u­lar super­cars excited again. The Tramontana R is pow­ered by two ver­sions of the Mercedes 5.5-liter V12 engine: nat­u­rally aspi­rated good for 550hp or twin-turbocharged for an insane 760hp. The 760hp ver­sion pumps out 811 lb-ft of torque! The Tramontana Group mated this engine to a 2777 chas­sis and got blis­ter­ing accel­er­a­tion: 0-to-100mph takes just 3.6 sec­onds; 0-to-200mph in only 10.15 sec­onds accord­ing to Tramontana. This is ridicu­lously fast! Although I’m tempted to go on about the auto­mo­tive side of this super­car, what caught my inter­est and sub­se­quently led to this post is the Tramontana R’s instru­ment clus­ter: it is a LCD (I think) and a cool-looking one. Picture after the break.

If you look at the pic­ture closely you can see the elliptical-shaped dis­play. I am not sure if this is a pro­jected dis­play or a reg­u­lar LCD but it looks pretty cool. Non-rectangular LCDs are noth­ing new but this would be a first auto­mo­tive imple­men­ta­tion as far as I know. Not only is the Tramontana R a auto­mo­tive tour de force but it’s got a high-tech LCD instru­ment clus­ter to boot.
