Didn't You Always Want To Be A Test Driver? This Would Be Your Cubicle
Imagine barreling down the road in a hot prototype. Now you don’t have to imagine anymore, because these pictures, taken on the first day of the annual conference of the Japan chapter of the SAE, show you in graphic detail what your workplace would look like. Like a mess.
You would be surrounded by a maze of wires. Your stick shift would be encased in something that makes a chastity belt look like a piece of lingerie. In the next turn, the laptop will smash into your head.
Stay clear from any pedestrians, because with these things on your wheels, you will drag a pedestrian a long, long way.
Do you still want to be a professional test driver? Kyowa, the company that outfits vehicular torture chambers the world over, will be happy to be of service.

What is up with the double steering wheels?
At least you get a really nice white-stitched Nardi Classico.
