Porsche Now Sells a $10,475 Sim Racing Wheel

Alright sim racing nerds (looking at myself, here), there’s a new level of what I call Sim Rig Bling you can add to your setup: A genuine Porsche 911 GT3 Cup steering wheel that has been modified by Porsche to bolt onto almost any rig and interface with your computer with full functionality. The privilege of owning it will only cost you $10,475 before taxes and shipping.

That's a lot, though you do get a real piece of motorsport hardware. This GT3 Cup wheel is limited to only 150 units and is made from ultra-light and extremely rigid carbon fiber. It isn’t modeled after the real wheel–it is the real wheel, that has been only slightly modified for gaming purposes. It uses the real Cup rim's six-hole, 70mm pitch circle diameter (PCD) spacer so that it can mount to practically any hub from any simulation wheel base manufacturer, and retains the exact same magnetic shifter paddle module and carbon shifter paddles as the real Cup car. Where the Cup car uses a wireless hub, the sim version interfaces with the PC through a USB cable, and the buttons are backlit.
