MPI DRG-BFLY-8.5 Butterfly Drag Racing Steering Wheel

The MPI DRG-BFLY-8.5 Butterfly Drag Racing Steering Wheel is a revolutionary step forward in drag racing cockpit design. Developed with insights from NASCAR and IndyCar technology, this wheel delivers enhanced driver protection, comfort, and control for Top Fuel, Funny Car, and high-performance drag racing applications. At its core is a precision CNC-machined aluminium structure paired with a groundbreaking foam-injected polyurethane grip—a first for butterfly steering wheels—designed to absorb vibrations and reduce impact forces on the driver’s hands.

Every wheel is hand-wrapped and stitched for premium craftsmanship, featuring an ergonomic pistol grip with MPI’s RG high-grip material for maximum control under extreme G-forces. A microfiber-wrapped lower section enhances comfort and durability, while the built-in tilt angle improves steering position and driver reaction time. Proven at the highest level, this wheel has been used to win an NHRA Championship with JR Todd and Kalitta Motorsports.
