Three things immediately catch the eye of the device: the height of the car is only 1.17 meters, the gull wing doors and the square steering wheel in the cockpit. It is called the control yoke and it is a rectangular control horn. This should make it easier for the driver to read the instruments above or behind the steering wheel.
New steering wheel for added safety
And there are experts who believe that this futuristic shape also improves road safety. In any case, steering with a hand placed casually on top of the round steering wheel is no longer possible in this way. Drivers are practically forced to hold the control yoke with their left and right hands at mid-rise in the optimal quarter to third position.
