Default Do you like design easter eggs?

I've always found these fun to spot/find on a car. Didn't know about the Viper's Redline warning.




Dodge Viper

Interior rubber mats feature an outline of Germany's Nurburgring, shown at left, and California's Laguna Seca racetracks. The center of each track contains the Viper’s lap time. Some Easter eggs are electronic. Rev the Viper’s V-10 engine into the tachometer's red zone, and a glowing red outline of a Viper head appears as a warning in the center of the tach.



Chrysler 200

Detroit’s skyline, minus GM's Renaissance Center towers, can be seen in a rubber console mat.




Jeep Cherokee

The outline of a 1941 World War II ****** military Jeep is in the lower windshield edging near the center of the dash. Flip up the front passenger seat in the 2015 Cherokee, and you will see an outline of the Hell's Revenge off-road course in Moab, Utah, a favorite place for Jeep aficionados to drive in extreme terrain.




Dodge Charger

The inside of the console lid features a "DB" Dodge Brothers logo and the words "Designed in Detroit."



Ram 1500 Longhorn

The belt buckles on the rear seatbacks have a longhorn bull head embossed in the lower sections



Jeep Renegade

The upcoming baby Jeep is loaded with Easter eggs. A Jeep grille outline can be seen on the windshield behind the rearview mirror, on the taillights and on the door speaker trim. And the side cladding features the words "no step" in military block lettering.



Dodge Challenger

A silhouette of the car appears in the windshield edging.

I remember the then-new 2011 Jeep had a Jeep hidden in the headlamps:

+1 Jeep Renegade

Xs are derived from Army Jerry Cans in the taillights

I like the smaller, more subtle details, but a pass on the mats.
