Steering wheel

The steering wheel, or what could be more accurately described as a fighter-jet style yoke, was designed to improve the previse handling of the vehicle. Market research had shown that a new generation of car buyers, who had grown up with video games, would prefer this approach to a traditional steering wheel. The driver could control a whole host of car functions, including the radio, cruise control and gears.

Yoke requires only a 90° steering corner for each side, in right side there are gear controls, air-conditioner and, windscreen wiper. In the left side there are lights, direction indicators stereo and cruise control.

Individual handgrips ensured more effective and precise handling of the vehicle.

Buttons on yoke included the HVAC, radio, audio, cruise control, automatic transmission controls and gears.
