Coolest Factory Steering Wheels Ever Put into Cars

The F40's interior screams simplicity, and that carries over to the steering wheel. It's a Momo-designed unit without any frills or buttons to distract you from the driving experience.

The Huayra's steering wheel is a bit more understated, but still painfully pretty. The switches each look like they took 100 hours to make, while the wide, flat airbag section seems to work perfectly with the rest of the design.

The steering wheel found in the ultra-rare One-77 is weird, and that's what makes it cool. If you look closely, you'll notice it's more oval-shaped than round, with flatter top and bottom sections. There's also some expensive-looking metal trim, just to bling things up. We're into it.

The Seven SuperSprint was a limited-edition vintage-inspired Caterham that sold out in just seven hours. It's not often you come across a new car with a stylish thin wooden steering wheel, so we can see why the car was in such high demand.

It might have a boring name, but the P72 is one of the most interesting new cars of recent years. Sporting a V-12, some stunning looks, and a manual transmission, it's an enthusiast's dream. The beautifully designed steering wheel is just a bonus.

The AMG One's steering wheel is styled after the one used in the company's Formula 1 car, with an airbag stuffed in the middle. The design makes sense considering the car is powered by an F1 engine.

Like the AMG One, the Lotus Evija—the company's all-electric supercar—uses a rectangular F1-inspired steering wheel. It looks extremely cool and fits perfectly with the rest of the interior design.

The Eunos Cosmo's triple-rotor engine isn't the only thing the car has going for it. This sweet wheel is held up by two bottom spokes and has a unique arrangements of buttons on either side of the rotor-shaped badge.

The steering wheel in the McLaren 570S looks great, and its lack of buttons make it easy to focus on driving rather than fiddling with infotainment controls.

The four-spoke steering wheel in the original Spyker C8 is supposed to represent a vintage airplane propeller. It sure looks cool, but we can't imagine the driver would fare well in a crash. But as Jeremy Clarkson puts it, "what a way to go!"

The Z8's three-pronged steering wheel features four spokes per prong and suits the car's streamlined, vintage-inspired design perfectly.

The Subaru XT wasn't just strange-looking on the outside—the interior had its fair share of quirks as well. The steering wheel is the most obvious, with an asymmetrical pistol shape and a square center.

All Pagani steering wheels are beautiful, but the Zonda R's unit is by far the most interesting. It has the tachometer in the center of the wheel rather than in the digital gauge cluster. How cool is that?

In addition to the wacky dashboard, early Lagondas got this sweet single-spoke wheel meant to let you view the gauge cluster unobstructed.

For the past few years, BMW has used the same M-designed wheel in all of its performance cars. It's the perfect combination of style, comfort, and modern functionality.

Ever since the debut of the Enzo, Ferrari has used a wheel layout that incorporates the column stalk features into buttons on the wheel, including headlights, wipers, and even turn signals. You can also option multicolor shift lights on the top of the wheel rim, which is cool if you want to pretend you're a race-car driver.

Car interiors have made huge leaps in comfort and tech in the last decade. Here are some of the best.
