Nardi "Two Spokes" Steering Wheel
Noticed this on Nardi-Personnal's site. Who is gonna be the first to have this steering wheel?

The Two Spokes represents a big revolution among the steering wheels for both concept and use: in fact the big crown disappears and the shape is totally new!
Thanks to this new design, the view of the cockpit is not hidden anymore and the internal space for the legs grows considerably.
The frame is made of two simple spokes (from which the name) which design reminds the shape of classical wooden steering wheels which have characterized Nardi's trademark history.
At the end of the spokes there are two handles, covered by soft leather, that remind the airplanes cloches.
The invention is based on the fact that this two handles are free to move and turn around on their own axle, as they are connected with the steering wheel with balls bearing.
The feeling with this product is immediate: if it is true that you can drive the car with a single hand, it is also true that this creation increases security both in a challenging and in a relaxed drive: the driver is, in fact, obliged to have both hands on the steering wheel and, last but not least, at the right position of 9:15!
Evolutions of this new wheel could be innumerable.

very interesting.. how hard would it be to throw (or in this case, catch) the steering wheel in a case of counter-steering?
the two handles are on independent pivots that allow them to spin freely to be continuously held at an up and down position at any angle of steering.
So what happens when you rotate the steering wheel more than 90 degrees... Those grips would be upside down.. or am i missing something here...
