I definitely don't follow the part about rise. Let see how well I'm doing with the rest.

Let's assume the scale of your regular dial speedometer reads 0-110 mph.
Let's also assume that the needle sweep from 0-90 mph is 90*.
What do you want the needle sweep from 0-60 mph to be?
  1. 60*
  2. 40* (my understanding)
  3. Some other number of degrees. (If so, what number?)

If the answer is 40*, I'd don't see why you'd need/want any additional scale markings other than km/h.
