That's a push-button starter that is commonly used in racing cars. I think that the toggle switch has a safety cover to turn the black-rubber starter button "hot". Here are some instructions :

Pantera Push Button Starter Install



If you have a car that people like stealing, then this makes the car easier to steal. Break in, press button, go. In that situation you would need an additional hidden kill switch. In the above example you need a key to "arm" the starter button. Makes sense for installing in a Pantera.

I may need one of these in the near future. At least nobody wants my car, .
