A steering system for a road vehicle; the steering system comprises: a steering wheel provided with an outer ring, which is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; and a support element, which, on one side, can be rigidly fixed on the inside of the vehicle and, on the other side, is connected to the steering wheel so as to support the steering wheel; wherein the support element is telescopic so as to vary its axial size along the rotation axis in order to change the axial position of the steering wheel; wherein the support element comprises: an outer body, which can be rigidly fixed on the inside of the vehicle and is internally hollow; an inner body, which is connected to the steering wheel, is partially arranged on the inside of the outer body, and can axially slide relative to the outer body; and an actuator device, which is designed to axially translate the inner body relative to the outer body, is arranged on the inside of the outer body and comprises a first electric motor; the steering system is characterized in that: the steering wheel has no connection to steering wheels; it is provided a position sensor, which is designed to detect the angular position of the outer ring of the steering wheel around the rotation axis; and it is provided a second electric motor, which applies a variable feedback torque to the outer ring of the steering wheel, is interposed between the support element and the steering wheel so as to support the steering wheel, and comprises a stator, which is rigidly connected to the support element, and a rotor, which is rigidly connected at least to the outer ring of the steering wheel. a steering wheel provided with an outer ring, which is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; and a support element, which, on one side, can be rigidly fixed on the inside of the vehicle and, on the other side, is connected to the steering wheel so as to support the steering wheel; wherein the support element is telescopic so as to vary its axial size along the rotation axis in order to change the axial position of the steering wheel; wherein the support element comprises: an outer body, which can be rigidly fixed on the inside of the vehicle and is internally hollow; an inner body, which is connected to the steering wheel, is partially arranged on the inside of the outer body, and can axially slide relative to the outer body; and an actuator device, which is designed to axially translate the inner body relative to the outer body, is arranged on the inside of the outer body and comprises a first electric motor; the steering system is characterized in that: the steering wheel has no connection to steering wheels; it is provided a position sensor, which is designed to detect the angular position of the outer ring of the steering wheel around the rotation axis; and it is provided a second electric motor, which applies a variable feedback torque to the outer ring of the steering wheel, is interposed between the support element and the steering wheel so as to support the steering wheel, and comprises a stator, which is rigidly connected to the support element, and a rotor, which is rigidly connected at least to the outer ring of the steering wheel. the steering wheel has no connection to steering wheels; it is provided a position sensor, which is designed to detect the angular position of the outer ring of the steering wheel around the rotation axis; and it is provided a second electric motor, which applies a variable feedback torque to the outer ring of the steering wheel, is interposed between the support element and the steering wheel so as to support the steering wheel, and comprises a stator, which is rigidly connected to the support element, and a rotor, which is rigidly connected at least to the outer ring of the steering wheel.
