Inside The Weird World of Supercar Interiors
Supercars already turn heads on the outside, but sometimes the real shock happens once you open the door. Designers have experimented with wild colors, fighter-jet controls, and layouts that make you wonder if you’re in a car or a spaceship.
Let’s take a ride through the weirdest, quirkiest, and most outrageous supercar interiors ever created.
Lamborghini Egoista
The Lamborghini Egoista is basically a jet fighter with wheels. To get in, you have to remove the steering wheel—no joke. The cockpit is a snug one-seater wrapped in orange highlights and fighter-style controls. Cool? Definitely. Practical? Not even a little.

Aston Martin Lagonda
The Lagonda was meant to be futuristic, and it nailed that—maybe a little too much. It had digital touch controls and CRT-style screens that looked like something out of Star Wars. Problem was, most of it barely worked.

Italdesign Aztec
Inside the Aztec, the driver and passenger are separated by a massive central divider. Each seat has its own dashboard, buttons, and controls, almost like two cockpits crammed together.

Ferrari Modulo
This Ferrari concept from the ’70s looks sleek on the outside, but inside it’s downright odd. The seats are sunk low into the frame, almost like beanbags, and the rectangular steering wheel feels more arcade game than race car.
Maserati Boomerang
The Maserati Boomerang might have the weirdest wheel ever made. All the gauges are built into the steering wheel itself, spinning right along as you turn. It’s trippy, but also kind of a nightmare if you actually needed to read them while driving.
Pagani Zonda Tricolore
Pagani interiors are known for being wild, but the Zonda Tricolore is art on wheels. With polished gear levers, shiny aluminum, and a blue carbon-fiber weave, it feels like someone turned a jewelry store into a cockpit.

Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary
The Countach is legendary, but its interior is awkward at best. Visibility is a joke thanks to the tiny windows, and the cockpit feels cramped, with switches scattered like someone dumped a parts bin across the dash.

Cizeta-Moroder V16T
The Cizeta didn’t just go crazy under the hood—it brought that energy inside too. The entire cabin is coated in bright turquoise leather, giving Miami nightclub vibes instead of supercar cool.
Bertone Stratos Zero
The Stratos Zero is less a car, more a wedge of cheese on wheels. Inside, drivers lay back so far it’s like reclining in a bathtub. To even get in, the steering wheel had to flip up like a toy.

McLaren F1
Sure, it’s legendary, but the seating setup is weird. The driver sits in the dead center of the car, with two passengers flanking slightly behind. It’s genius for balance—but definitely odd the first time you climb in.

Vector W8
The Vector W8 looks like someone let a gamer design a car. The dashboard is crammed with digital screens, buttons, and fighter-jet switches everywhere. It’s cool in a retro way, but also totally overwhelming.

Koenigsegg CCX Ghost Package
Koenigsegg is usually minimalist, but the CCX “ghost” interiors went full nightclub. Imagine LED panels glowing neon in random places—less Swedish design, more Vegas strip.

Lamborghini Veneno
The Veneno feels more spaceship than car. With sharp edges and wild colors, the cockpit looks like it was built to fly through hyperspace, not sit in traffic.
Dome Zero
This Japanese supercar concept from the late ’70s was all angles outside and all strangeness inside. The interior featured flat panels with toggle switches everywhere, like a DIY spaceship dashboard.

Iso Grifo IR 9 Can Am
Iso isn’t usually mentioned with Ferrari or Lambo, but the IR 9 Can Am’s interior stood out. It mixed bright red seats with a strange, squared-off wheel, making it feel more retro lounge than racing machine.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
This one ditches normal car luxuries altogether. The interior is basically bare raw carbon fiber, with no carpet, no padding, and no door panels. It’s more skeleton than cabin.

Lancia Stratos HF Zero Concept
Not to be confused with the production Stratos, this concept had an interior so low-slung that drivers were practically lying down. The windshield doubled as the dashboard, with gauges projected at weird angles.
Bugatti EB110
Before the Veyron, Bugatti’s EB110 sported a very strange interior. The quilted leather everywhere looked classy, but the square, blocky design of the dash felt more ’80s office furniture than hypercar chic.

Citroën Karin Concept
Okay, not technically a supercar, but this concept was too wild to ignore. The Karin had a three-seat setup like the McLaren F1—but with the driver in front and two passengers directly behind, stacked like airplane seating.

Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota
The Diablo was already extreme, but the SE30 Jota version had purple leather and Alcantara covering nearly every surface. It looked like Prince’s personal spaceship.
Suzuki Q Concept
This funky little Japanese concept looked like a tiny pod car, but inside it was even weirder. The steering wheel was shaped like a joystick, and the cabin felt like a theme-park ride more than a car.

De Tomaso Mangusta
The Mangusta’s interior had a strange obsession with chrome—gleaming trim everywhere, even in places that didn’t need it. Combined with cramped space, it felt flashy but uncomfortable.

Mercedes-Benz C111
This experimental supercar came with an interior drenched in bright orange fabric, from the seats to the door panels. It looked like someone covered the cockpit in shag carpet.

Nissan R390 GT1
This Le Mans-bred machine had a minimalist cabin—yet they decided to add bright blue seats and accents that clashed with the otherwise barebones look. Functional? Yes. Stylish? Not so much.
Aston Martin Bulldog
This one-off wedge-shaped supercar has an interior that looks like a posh science experiment. Between the wood veneer and digital display mash-up, it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be classy or futuristic.
