These are the 10 coolest steering wheels we have ever seen

Round, boxy, or abstract? These are the coolest and most unique steering wheels we have ever seen.

No one can drive their vehicle without touching the steering wheel. Please don't try to prove us wrong. Although it is expected that fully autonomous driving will soon become a reality, we expect the steering wheel to exist for a long time. This piece of equipment perfectly synchronizes people and vehicles before the operation starts. So, you can see that it is very complicated.

Due to the basic nature of this part, we continue to plan a list of ten steering wheels, which are great enough to make them feel their presence in the automotive industry-whether it is a concept car or a production car. Here, we use wheels that are faithful to the traditional form.

For this prototype, Giorgetto Giugiaro gained a bit of flexibility because he could seamlessly integrate his ideas into the design of the car (well, there is an envelope to achieve all of this). Although this car was a one-off, it was later sold in 1974. Although it has a long history, the outstanding thing about this concept car is its steering wheel.

This wheel integrates various command buttons with the dial purchased by Citroen-SM, all of which are encapsulated by a circular binnacle. Surrounded by four-spoke, closely-fitting wheels, smooth navigation requires the use of the palm of the hand.

Mazda's MX-03 is considered a car "tour" and is highly regarded for its incredible specifications and screaming "futuristic" interior. Take a look at the interior of this car, the steering wheel on display will definitely attract your attention without any ambiguity.

As you can see from the picture, the car first introduced a wheel, which made sense on NASA's rocket to space at the time. This ergonomic design combined with the car’s turbocharged engine can provide speeds of up to 180 mph. In addition to the steering wheel, there is also a joystick with integrated trigger buttons, a bit reminiscent of some details of the Star Wars series.

De Tomaso P72 is a boring name that sounds like the name adopted by a Spanish tomato sauce company. However, the details of the actual car are not as monotonous as the naming scheme. This flagship model has a timeless design that resonates from the exterior to the interior. Due to its VIP-style form, only 72 iterations will be active.

Looking at the interior of this luxury-themed supercar, the leather interior looks too attractive. The speedometer on this high-speed car is also prominent-this is a clear sign that De Tomaso is not here to play games, but to exude great power on and off the track.

Somewhat reminiscent of Mercedes' AMG One, Lotus Evija is seeking to transform the supercar market through all-electricity. Evija is easily one of the most powerful cars, with a maximum output of 2,000 horsepower and a top speed of 200 mph.

Although these numbers are excellent in every way, the steering wheel is responsible for keeping things right. Therefore, we are not surprised that Lotus uses wheels similar to F1 cars. In addition to the revolutionary appearance, it also highlights the interior of the car-reaffirming the originality and innovative thinking that Lotus has been known for since its inception.

Although designed for high-level people, Pagani cars can cause one thing-elegance. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see various Pagani models equipped with luxury accessories such as milled aluminum, carbon fiber and Alcantara leather.

On Zonda R, this vision remains the same. However, there is one thing that deviates from the norm-the steering wheel. Unlike what is available on other models, Pagani’s in-house design team took the time to develop this wheel with a 100% carbon fiber frame. Right in the center, there is a tachometer with the "Zonda R" logo on it. Although most concept cars have added these features, this vehicle entering the production line makes it "cool".

Sorry, Nintendo fans, but the Citroen DS21 is not a car that has not been modified to fit your game console. Well, history is very optimistic about this car, because it is one of the first mass-produced cars to install front disc brakes. Even more surprising is that 12,000 orders were received when DS21 was launched.

Considered a collector's item in the world today, this riding steering wheel has a single spoke with a shiny baseline. With a smooth leather finish, the DS21 is probably the most incredible single-spoke wheel we have ever seen.

Although some people might think that the "four times" variant of Austin Allegro launched the flat-bottomed oval wheel concept, Chrysler was the true pioneer because they installed something similar on previous models before the 300J.

Although the 300J produced in 1960 was a bit unorthodox, the variant produced in 1963 tried to reinvent. The wheels on the improved model are designed to provide the driver with relatively easy space to get in and out of the car. However, there is a caveat: the wheels must always keep "straight ahead".

It's hard to say? The wheels connected to Lancia Stratos Sibilo make this effort possible. Bertone was released in 1978 and decided to further adopt the helm design on this concept car. Here, there is no space between the driver’s fingers and thumb.

At first glance, the steering wheel on display looks like a toy you give your child. Showing a few buttons and a small cutout that we think is a speedometer, we are happy that this wheel variant is still a concept.

Bertone has invested heavily in the creation of concept cars, and the entity aims to support their growing resume through Lamborghini Athon. Designed by Marc Deschamps, Lamborghini Athon from Bertone occupies a place in the cinema, because the characteristic cars of science fiction blockbusters such as Total Recall and RoboCop are inspired by the appearance of this car.

From appearance to interior, the steering wheel was a feature that attracted the attention of car geeks and enthusiasts at that time. At first, it looks as if the wheels can hover without anything fixed. However, on closer inspection, a spoke is connected to the auxiliary rotation. Although it looks like a great masterpiece by Bertone, it seems impractical to use it in practice.

Before the arrival of the 21st century, BMW decided to do something extraordinary. The car manufacturer effectively dragged Christopher Columbus away by taking risks to conquer the unknown world. The result of this conquest is the BMW Z22 concept. This architectural masterpiece brings 70 new innovative add-ons and 61 patents, covering appearance, lighting, and of course the steering wheel.

On the wheels, there is a fingerprint scanner that can be used as an ignition device for the car. Using the multi-function button, the driver can zoom in and zoom out the rear-view camera display at will. Indeed, the BMW Z22 is the cliff of the future.

As the first thing anyone notices in the car, the steering wheel must look good. Unfortunately, not all car companies understand this.

I like the roaring engine and Elon Musk. Okay, this got me into a crash.
