    Suede leather steering wheel

    Some questions:

    Are there any pictures of this option? I'm having a hard time finding one, other than the configurator renderings.
    Does it get dirty from hand grease at all? Can it be conditioned or shampooed? Is the suede leather as nice as the alcantara?

    Hi Pieter. I had this on my G Superleggera. It's very difficult to prevent it getting slightly greasy from your hands, especially with spirited driving, and then tends to mat up. I also found it difficult to get it back to looking good despite my OCD tendencies. Personally I would avoid, much as I like the look of it. And yes I think the Alcantara is better. I reckon the best answer would be one of the carbon fiber steering wheels I've seen on this forum. Hope this helps in your decision making. Cheers.

    It's very hard to keep clean, i would personally not recommend it.

    I ordered the suede steering wheel, like the feel of the suede. With proper care it shouldn't wear too much. I actually like full Alcantara steering wheel in the SV, looks much nicer.
