Upgrading A Cult Classic

Nardi "Novanta"

The Fiat Panda 141 series is already a cult classic—a charming, boxy little icon of Italian automotive simplicity. A fun car and also the perfect car to blend a touch of vintage flair to get your personal driving feel. That’s exactly what this customer aimed for with a simple yet very satisfying upgrade: replacing the factory stock steering wheel with a period correct '90s Nardi leather three spoke.

Grip activated

Nardi steering wheels are well-known for their hand-stitched leather and beautiful wood finishes, and that unmistakable Italian design touch that just feels right in any classic car. Installation was straightforward with the right hub adapter from Luisi (available in our shop!), and once mounted, the difference was immediate and spectacular. Because it’s not just the looks of the classic Nardi “Anni 90” to get excited about. It also offers a tighter, sportier grip and therefore better handling and control. Swapping your steering wheel might be a small upgrade, but it transforms the driving experience. Even a quick grocery run feels like a little Italian road trip! Go little Panda! 🏁
