Fanatec is offering Porsche fans and gamers alike an authentic look and feel with the introduction of the Porsche 911 Turbo Racing Wheel for PC and Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3). The leather-covered wheel features a tuning display that allows gamers to change settings like sensitivity or Force Feedback during gameplay. A Mabuchi RS 550 Motor is responsible for the extra strong Force Feedback effects with additional Force Feedback actuators in the wheel used to stimulate motor vibrations. The wheel also features an adjustable turning angle whereby changes can be made directly on the wheel to 900°, 360°, 180° or in 1° steps by software. There are 2 separate shifters – sequential and 6+1 speed H-pattern with realistic shifting feel – and illuminated buttons show different symbols whether the wheel is connected to a PlayStation or PC. The Porsche 911 Turbo Racing Wheel will be available from early May for USD$349.99. [Fanatec]
