Number one, that is a speedometer, not an odometer, big difference, as an odometer measures distance, not speed.

To answer the question, because it was made for sale in the US, and in the 80's all cars had 80 MPH speedometers because there was an oil shortage and I guess Carter thought it would make people drive slower
