Checkout the speedo!
I downloaded this from an Italian site.
My question is, is it genuine or is it photoshop?

Doesn't look like Photoshop when enlarged to 400% ... shadow across right corner of '5' odometer wheel is perfectly consistent with rest of the shot, as is the gradual defocus from left to right on all of the odometer wheels!
Of course ... it is possible to artificially 'run up' an odometer reading without actually accumulating miles! So, the photo could be entirely genuine without the km's being accurate! 443K miles would be an interesting high in a car looking so good & pristene, though!

Well the markings are genuine. Thats the markings on my Euro 88 Turbo Targa. As a matter of fact I just replaced it with an identical unit. Forunately for me the red line does not actually limit the speed.
Maybe they tried to wind it back but gave up after 300k or so?
