Most cars in that era were insanely bland as well. And this particular image isn't even from a production car, it's a concept. If we are just looking at awesome exceptions from these days, then Honda E or Hyundai Ioniq 5 could make the list and you can actually buy and drive them.

It's a segmented display. Color display on consumer computers was to expensive at the time. because of the limited memory you could either have high resolution or few colors and low resolution, and high resolution was required if you need text.

My guess is that all displays have fixed segments and warning lights that can only be turned on or of.

Nissan loved to cram technology in their cars. See for example the GTR-34 in the 90s that has a full size LCD and real-time readouts on it, which was very usfule to tuners, hence it's prominence in the scene

I had a 1988 Buick Reatta with a CRT in it. Only had one color in it though... Green....... Looked like a terminal from fallout. I miss that car.

To me, it has the fuzzy look of a low res mid 80s CRT monitor. It doesn't look like a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) to me, though I am pretty sure the clock may be one.

Cyberpunk is the 2nd related aesthetic in Cassette Futurism page of the Aesthetics Wiki. There is some overlap.

Requiring an airbag in the wheel basically rules out cool looking wheels like this. Rest of the cluster is certainly possible but the car companies want to do touchscreens over buttons since it’s simpler to install and replace one big screen that pull all the wiring out for one button that stopped working

It was pretty early! The first DiscMan came out in 1984 and I think the first aftermarket CD car stereo turned up the same year.

LADAR!
