This term is causing me some confusion Is this "steering wheel" (i.e. volante) or is it referring to the wheels (on the ground) of the machine that can be steered? How should it be translated into English? Thanks in advance.

Le terne sono il fiore all’occhiello di Imola, anche per numero; se ne producono circa 11.100 l’anno (54 il giorno su due turni) sia per YYY che per ZZZ ; il 5 dicembre scorso è stata festeggiata la 80.000ma macchina, una YYY 580 SR2 a due ***ruote sterzanti***, destinata a un concessionario spagnolo.
