10-15k can get you a race car these days. Albeit a basic one, ready to race.

Guys, any thoughts on the Fanatec 911 wheel?

Finally someone answered my prayers.... New wheel for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360.

Porsche 911 Turbo S: Total info!



Here are all the infos you wanted to hear about the new Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel.

First of all. This wheel is a LIMITED EDITION and we are not planning to make any other wheel of this quality level for the Xbox soon. So you will get something truly exclusive each with a number plate and serial number.

The production is schedules to start in march 2009.

We will start with the pre-sales this week and all pre-orders get a significant discount. Of course only until an edition is sold out.

There will be 3 different editions to satisfy all tastes and to reach are broad audience.

Pure
The most affordable will be the "Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel Pure Edition". It starts at 149,95 USD / EUR (regular 199,95USD EUR).

* High-end wheel with belt drive, ball bearings, super strong Force feedback and leather wheel
* Compatible to Xbox 360 (can be upgraded)
* shifters optional
* no pedals included but compatible with the pedals of the Microsoft wheel or the G25 (and the Porsche wheel pedals of course)

Regular
The regular version is very similar to the existing Porsche 911 Turbo and goes for 249,95 EUR / USD (regular 349,95 EUR / USD)

* With the RF dongle this wheel is compatible to PC and Playstation 3 without any limitations.
* New RF technology for improved performance and distance
* Wired pedals with clutch included
* Big metal paddle shifters
* The 6+1 shifter is compatible to all current games which support manual shifting, including Forza2

Clubsport
The "Porsche 911 Turbo S Clubsport edition" includes the new high-end pedals fully made of metal and sells for 399,95 EUR / USD (regular 499,95 EUR/USD)


* All features of PWTS but with Clubsport Pedals (CSP)
* Pressure sensitive loadcell sensor
* Adjustable brake force
* Vibration motors for clutch and brake
* contactless sensors with unlimited lifetime and superior precision
* ultra solid construction



I hope that this matches your expectations.

The wheels are strictly limited and will only be available through the Fanatec webshop.

PWTS Clubsport: 2000 units

PWTS: 3000 units

PWTS Pure: 5000 units

So only 0,05% of all current Xbox360 users will get such a wheel.

Your chances of being selected as a community tester will not be affected if you place an order or not as we make this decision independently and will refund you in case you already paid something.

*All EUR prices incl VAT and all USD prices do not include VAT

The clubsport pedal is a good buy even if you don't have a Fanatec wheel.
Early versions will need a firmware update though.

Indeed. I had someone tests the Fanatec setup with the Clubsport pedals. By the 3rd lap he was able to post consistently fast times (Forza 3, Maple Valley Track, Nissan GT-R, assists off, manual transmission). His comment was, "it feels natural".

Check Gamer's Hideout e#Curve.

There is the Obutto frame as well sold by Gamers Hideout at e@Curve.

Guys, I'm selling my Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel. Any takers?
