rev counter
A rev counter shows how fast the engine is spinning. It's useful for knowing when to change gears while driving.
A rev counter, also known as a tachometer, measures the engine's RPM (revolutions per minute). It's an important gauge for drivers to monitor engine performance and shift points.
