A Visionary Collaboration
In 1986, Oldsmobile and Italdesign unveiled the Incas concept car, showcasing a dashboard ahead of its time. Designed by Italdesign, the Incas featured a digital display complemented by analog speedometer and tachometer.
Innovative Controls
The Incas’ dashboard integrated numerous functions into the steering yoke, including HVAC, lights, audio, cruise control, and automatic transmission settings. This design centralized vehicle operations, reducing the need for traditional dashboard buttons.
A Glimpse into the Future
While the Incas remained a concept, its dashboard design influenced future automotive interiors. The integration of digital displays and multifunctional controls foreshadowed features in modern vehicles.
