Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe is releasing its Leo FR-V (Fujitsu RISC-VLIW) chip, based on the FR-V architecture announced last year.
The idea was to design a sports car for the future that is able to take advantage of the latest technologies without any of the brand expectations and history that can restrict well-known and established manufacturers.
The entire car is crammed with technological advances, with a reconfigurable LCD instrument panel using FME's Jade graphics controller.
The instrument panel consists of a high-resolution, illuminated 10.2in 800 x 480 pixel colour display and a digitally controlled dual-pointer analogue instrument with a high-quality metal clock face acquired from the luxury watch segment.
