Actually, there was a engineering (or some art) college that has a course in automotive modification (ala streetracers) and a class took their instructor's car and turned it into a single seater vehicle that has a steering wheel that looks more like a rounded version of the above picture. I can't remember the name of the show I saw it on, but it was one Spike TV I think.

Also, keep in mind that usually when a steering wheel of this type is installed and meant to be functional and used on a daily basis, that a "granny" gear box usually accompanies it. That way the turning radius of the wheel is reduced by around 1/3 compared to the actual turning of the car staying the same. (To turn the steering wheel 1/4 revolution in either direction fully turns the tires in the desired direction). It does take some getting used to!
