Momo Niki Lauda Steering Wheel
A clean, focused Signature wheel with rare variations that sit just outside the official record.

A Signature wheel built on clarity
The Momo Niki Lauda steering wheel is one of the most direct designs within the Signature Series.
No excess detail. No visual noise. Just a clean structure with a clear focus on grip, control, and driving precision.
It reflects exactly what the name suggests — a no-compromise approach to function.
The core format – and its outlier
Most Momo Niki Lauda steering wheels follow a fixed format:
350 mm diameter
Semi-dish design
Black or silver anodized spokes
Thicker-than-average grip profile
But within this structure, a rare variation exists.
A small number of 370 mm versions appear in circulation. These wheels do not match the standard catalog specification and sit outside the documented production range.
Some examples also appear in black with signature, further adding to the inconsistency seen in collector circles.

A wheel defined by discipline
The Niki Lauda steering wheel doesn’t try to reinterpret anything.
It stays within strict boundaries — and that is exactly its character.
Where other Signature wheels experiment with visual identity or OEM overlap, this one remains focused on one idea: precision through reduction.
Horn buttons – rare but varied
The Niki Lauda helmet horn button is among the more uncommon elements of the Signature Series.
It exists in multiple color combinations:
Black with silver signature
Beige with silver signature
Red with black signature
Yellow with black signature
While the helmet versions are relatively rare, the signature horn buttons are easier to encounter and follow the same visual language as other Signature Series components.
Niki Lauda – the name behind the wheel
Niki Lauda entered Formula 1 in the early 1970s and quickly became a central figure in Ferrari’s resurgence.
He won three World Championships (1975, 1977, 1984) and secured 25 Grand Prix victories across his career.
His career is also defined by one of the most dramatic comebacks in motorsport history after his 1976 accident at the Nürburgring — a moment that reshaped both his life and Formula 1 safety standards.
Why this wheel matters
The Jackie Stewart steering wheel reflects that same idea.
Controlled, direct, slightly uncompromising.
Not decorative. Not nostalgic. Functional first — but with identity built into the grip.
It’s one of the earliest Momo Signature wheels that clearly shows what the brand would become: racing influence translated into something you physically hold every time you drive.
