Not sure about that wheel. At 1.10 it doesn't look like the driver is either...
+1 It didn't look right in La British Leyland (what did?) and it doesn't look right in this either. Ferrari are trying to give it the look of an F1 steering wheel, but they've produced something that looks like it's just had a row with a large workshop vice, and lost.

I thought the name of the car was LaFerrari so therefore the Laferrari would work. Without the 'the' its the Ferrari Ferrari rather than the Ferrari LaFerrari which surely can't be right?
That was my understanding. Regardless of its translation, its name is "LaFerrari". Just like Boxster, or Mondeo.So "the" is quite acceptable before it.

Can we stop calling it 'the LaFerrari' and drop 'the'? It'll educate the masses and stop grating on those who know Italian.
best be shooting an email off to ferrari pronto then.http://www.laferrari.com/en/design/
they call it the laferrari on every page!
i say we stop using the stupid name and call it the F70.
Surely the point of the flattened wheel is because a single-seater cockpit has no room for a round one - clearly not an issue in that car, or for that matter, the Allegro!?
As someone with long legs, I welcome out more compact wheel overlords generally, but with Billy Smallpants there is looks stupid

Coming from the people who thought the Alfa Arna was a good name and look how that turned out, the worst of both worlds, i.e. ugly as sin and poorly built. Luca di Montezemelo has a lot to answer for with naming Laferrari. Despite it being oversubscribed the backing track methinks is "Yonder comes a sucker". On this occasion I will pass, as the last decent looking Ferrari was the 288 GTO, since when they have all been born rather slitty eyed. The McLaren P1 may share the fate of the F1 i.e. appreciated too late and didn't reach it's target sales because buyers were running elsewhere-and now they're (F1) £2 million if you can find one (original list £643k approx.)
The old geezer Enzo would be not be laughing like a drain at how Pixar-like his company has become, and the racing team as also rans to a fizzy drink company would have him turning purple with rage.
Sorry if I have strayed slightly off the squarewheel.

I'm no aficionado on Allegros, but it seems that the Vanden Plas 1500 (the upmarket Allegro) was available with a round wheel.
Another possible theory: Ferrari will be offering a round wheel upgrade. It'll be available on the options list. ££££s no doubt.
Completely off topic but that interior looks rather fab! Another possible theory: Ferrari will be offering a round wheel upgrade. It'll be available on the options list. ££££s no doubt.
