Don't like it very much, great for cars where you can turn the wheels all the way by only turning the steering wheel 180

I think it might be good on a track car, but I definitely would not want it on a daily driver. Looks kinda strange too.

Seems like a lot of people posting above fail to realize that the two individual handgrips are mounted to the spokes with ball bearings and can therefore independantly rotate, therefore there is no issue with turning the wheel greater than 180 degrees. One hand continues to rotate the wheel while the other releases and reacquires its grip.

Of course, with such a limited area for the wheel to be held you'd need some pretty damn good coordination if you need to release one of the handles and quickly grab it again, like often happens in an autocross situation.

Seems better suited for the bling street scene rather than any serious driving.

Elistan, and what if you fail to catch the handgrip when turning more than 180

My formula car had one turn lock to lock. I could see it in a car like that but not on a street car.

This type of steering wheel is so old! Even KITT had it!
