and one thing kind of bugs me... he says “Formula 1 inspired steering wheel.” Can this crap stop? Just because a car has a steering wheel with buttons on it doesn’t make it F1 inspired...

/endrant

oh well. still looks like a totally bad ass car.

No to mention F1 steering wheels are freaking hideous, functional but not very nice to look at.

A functional and very handsome steering wheel for a road car, made by a company that doesn’t have to out of its way to pretend has an F1 connection to win the bigdickathon.

Also, are F1 wheels even really wheels anymore?

It’s pretty well established that we don’t care about convention.

Saying something is ‘inspired’ is a cop out. It doesn't have to be similar in anyway. I can make a pile of trash and say I was inspired by the Ford Mustang. It's not a lie, it just doesn't mean anything

wow, that Mustang hate burns a little bit :(

But yeah, I agree. 9 times out of 10 in the automotive world, “inspired” is just as much bullshit of a word as “dynamic” and all those other ridiculous press-release words.

yeah, basically what foxbodymiata said. It’s a great looking steering wheel, but F1-inspired? I dunno about that. If any road car steering wheel was truly “F1- inspired” it would be a LaFerrari wheel, because of the shape (basically a square) and it has a shitload of buttons and a Manettino (or however that word is spelled), but other than that, basically everything else is just a steering wheel with radio volume buttons and bluetooth controls.

Does that really refer to having buttons on the steering wheel? if so cool my 20yo truck has an F1 inspired steering wheel.. lol. I took that to mean it has a flat spot on the bottom for easier access. But yeah either way just typical sophomoric marketing speak.
