It might seem obvious, but the steering wheel of your car is the most tangible thing about your driving experience.<\/p>\n

And when we spotted the image above from the the Scuderia Ferrari’s F1<\/a> car from a few years ago, we were immediately struck by how the steering wheel, by linking design, technology and the human hand – is a beautiful idea in itself.<\/p>\n

The gallery here spans a breadth of designs from the extreme tech to simple elegance. Where the 458 Italia<\/a>‘s wheel mounted interactions have frustrated many car hacks – the BMW’s unpeckable modernism<\/a> is a superb fusion of form and function.<\/p>\n

And that’s what good design is all about.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
