14 Absolutely Insane Steering Wheels

Your head will be spinning after seeing these ridiculous wheels! From crazy expensive to ergonomically impossible to economically extravagant, these steering contraptions will turn heads for days.

Literal Xbox 360?

Well, the inspiration must have come from the gaming consoles title: “360”. Otherwise, the sheer amount of fan boy oozing from this Suzuki has us fearing the day when a Playstation equipped vehicle stares him down at a stop light. We hope he doesn’t have a TV attached to his front bumper.

Volkstarboard

Johnny Depp would have just one slight problem before taking the helm with this ship-inspired wheel: “Why is the rum gone?” He also may be a bit confused as to why this ship is a manual, but otherwise he would trust this car to handle a torrential downpour with ease.

Steering Wheel Locked…And Loaded

Put your hands on the wheel may no longer be the route for the police officer to go when pulling over this guy. We wonder if the added force of a shot or two fired into the presumably bullet-proof wheel provides that extra “oomph” of force when automatic steering assist doesn’t cut it.

Toilet Torque

Be sure to look twice at this “Best Hidden Toilet Seat” award winner. We’re surprised at how flawlessly a seat was attached to a steering column, but we guess the engineers just have really good aim with their designs. And hey, who wouldn’t like the idea that they don’t just have to grip toilet seats before puking?

Wheel Of Fortune

Not a single dial or switch is excluded from this ultra-handy wheel deal. We would think putting all the switches on something that turns can’t be the easiest thing to read, but how about that extra leg room! Just remember, before boring yourself with the classic ten and two hand positioning, you can now say your hands rest on Engine Heat and Odometer.

Larry The Cable Wheel

You can only go so far with recovered flood wreckage, but if it drives, it drives. Clearly, a few thrown together solutions for a rotten steering column exist. This one happens to use door stopper and a few cabinet fasteners. Hope this guy passes inspection.

Mumbai 401k

Mumbai taxi drivers must have ridiculous benefits. This wheel is made of pure crystal, and other than being hard enough to not shatter in your face during a crash, looks pretty snazzy.

I’m No European

Murica! This car just oozes “I may be right wing, but I drive on the right side of the road and steer from the left cuz that’s how its done here!” We would like him to explain how exactly he gets the car rolling. Cuz, you know. Pedals.

Third Wheeling

To be honest, we do kind of wish we had a secondary way to squeeze the breaks when our tired legs give out on long stop and go commutes. Otherwise, aside its inspirational purpose, we bet the steering wheel seriously thinks it’s third wheeling nearly every trip around town. To all the other kids on the block though, that’s one cool bike.

We’ve Got A Wheel Problem Here

Being late to work may have its inherent problems, but this added hassle has this guy up to his neck in steering wheel. Hopefully his passengers don’t panic then they find he’s basically steering the bus with a banana. Or perhaps this is his suggested twist for the next “Speed” movie?

Lamborghini Levitation

1980 brought with it a huge leap into the future for Lambos with the Athon. The almost entirely hidden pivot attachment seemingly made the wheel look as though it was floating inside the $500,000 ride. The design was discontinued eventually but we’re surprised no one else thought of ripping the ultra-futuristic idea for themselves.

Toyota Steampunk

This Toyota FT EV II concept threw all traditional forethought out the window and basically caused an upheaval in the steering world. The minimal and gagdeted design was supposedly meant to be easier to handle and intuitive to average people. Guess we’re not average.

Honda “Pilot”

Aviators may be the ideal customers for this wicked cool design concept introduced in the 2012 “EV Steer.” With the inclusion of hi-tech digital display panels and a wee little horn, we guess the thing-that-could-not-be-called-a-wheel never caught on.

Carpal Tunnel

Besides being jammed into this car like lines of poetry, the driver had to grip this wheel like his life depended on it no matter how long the intended drive was. On top of this, we hope his arms weren’t a jumbled knot after each heart wrenching turn. Oh, and forget airbags. Who needs ’em anyway, right?
