The tach is in the center because it is the most important gauge to most. You will learn the speed by looking at the RPM's (and what gear you are in) as you get used to driving a Porsche.

Oh, I'm sure I'll get a feel for it over time. I had the same issue with another semi sporty car in the past. The tiny size of the vehicle just gives no feel for how fast you're
going. Tach is great but, rather pointless in city driving. Never mind those who drive by
feel/sound as I was taught to more than 50 years ago.
