For all Autodromo 80 Series steering wheel models, MPI improved both the ergonomics and performance, while still keeping the period correct look that is embedded in every detail. To truly add to the Autodromo 80 Series steering wheels' spoke style, MPI used a more modern CNC milling machine that helped in creating the drop shape slots that are the centerpiece of these models. MPI researched the most beautiful top-grain-leather available and utilized a slightly more visible texture for this steering wheel model. These steering wheels also feature a round grip, with back finger grooves for maximum comfort and performance. All of the stitching in the 80 Series edition is a mix between handcrafted techniques and a sewing machine—even the sewing machine is a period correct device replicating the correct vintage techniques and processes. Each Autodromo 80 Series steering wheel comes with a custom made flush horn-button to match each of the spoke finishing treatments. Each unit also comes with a set of six counter-sunk screws to finish off the period correct modern look. The classic Autodromo logo is manually silkscreened on each spoke, as well as an individually engraved serial number to make each steering wheel a true 'one of a kind'. In addition, all Autodromo products have an MPI Vera Pelle added tag for authenticity and come in MPI's vintage-style designed craft box.

Max Papis Innovations Corsa steering wheels are the first MPI marine-grade steering wheels adapted for use in golf carts and recreational vehicles. The spoke structure is engineered to exceed the strict ABYC marine testing requirements that include bending, deformation, rigidity, durability, and weather resistance tests. The spokes are polished and then anodized to offer superior resistance to extreme weather—and are able to pass an industry standard 500-hour Salt Fog Test certification for corrosion. The same oval grip shape developed for MPI race-winning steering wheels has been applied here to make taking hold of the wheel natural and comfortable for extended operation. A proprietary method of inner foam injection has been developed to have the highest vibration absorption rate in the industry, while still providing the "soft feel" that provides the operator with just the right amount of tactile feeling as it compresses in their hands. Each wheel is finished by hand using the highest grade PPG paints, creating a superior and lasting finish that pops in the outdoors. Assembled by hand, each wheel receives an individual serial number for traceability and ships with all the necessary assembly screws and an MPI branded center bezel.

For all Autodromo 70 Series steering wheel models, MPI sought the classic and period correct look present in every detail. To truly capture the authentic vintage spoke style, MPI went as far as using an old-style milling cutter. It is with this they were able to create the iconic period correct holes and the frontal radius synonymous with the era.

It's a subtle difference drivers will surely feel passing through their fingers. Each Autodromo 70 Series steering wheel comes with a custom made flush horn-button to match each available spoke finishing option. Each steering wheel is shipped with a set of 6-button head screws to cap off the vintage look.
