I'd guess that it was shot in a studio, possibly with the steering wheel off. Maybe even just a dashboard. They powered up the cluster without the car running. The 8's are just all of the segments of the LCDs on.

It is a picture they use on the site to show the gauges I guess.

These are the quick pics of manual Hi-Power RX-8, left side steering wheel, sorry about the quality, my hands were probably shaking...
Redline is 9000 RPM
Also no gears are indicated on display.
And max speed is not 888, but 688, where number 6 is rotated vertically.
So there is a lot wrong with the pic on the first post:
redline should be 7500, and max speed should be 688, where 6 is vertically reversed.
You should be able to get all the indicators on your display with the following procedure:
Hold down the tripmeter reset button, and turn your key to "ON" position and hold down the button for 2 seconds.
word "test" should appear. After that just press reset-tripmeter button multiple of times to get variuos information displayed.
