Press Release
Fanatec, a brand of CORSAIR and the global leader in sim racing hardware, proudly announces the launch of the CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT. This officially licensed steering wheel, inspired by the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo concept car in Gran Turismo® 7, brings Porsche’s visionary design to sim racers worldwide.
The Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT features a 310 mm diameter and a robust cast aluminium frame that balances strength and lightness, making it suitable for the full range of Fanatec bases – from the 5 Nm CSL DD to the 25 Nm Podium DD2. Fanatec’s engineers developed an innovative shifter mechanism to retain the signature shape and spoke cutouts, delivering a uniquely tactile response. This is the first wheel to use Fanatec’s new Tactaris material. This premium microfiber fabric enhances durability, comfort, and handling during intense racing sessions.
Ergonomically optimised for sim racing, the CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT features a versatile input layout, including two buttons built into the rim – another first for a Fanatec wheel. It features seven rotary encoders, including two multi-position switches and a 7-way FunkySwitch. The four primary encoders are automatically assigned to Gran Turismo® 7’s MFD system, allowing quick access to traction control, brake balance, torque split, and fuel mapping. The Tuning Menu button is seamlessly integrated into the Porsche crest, allowing for real-time force feedback adjustments via the OLED display.
The wheel is compatible with all modern Fanatec bases on Windows PC and PlayStation® (when connected to a PlayStation-licensed base) and adds to the increasingly diverse Fanatec ecosystem. It comes preinstalled with the QR2 Lite Wheel-Side quick release (with no torque limitation) and can also be switched to QR1 for additional compatibility.
Premium materials and exceptional craftsmanship, typically found in far more expensive wheels, make this an ideal choice for Porsche and Gran Turismo enthusiasts, and its intuitive input layout should satisfy any sim racer looking for an alternative to a generic GT3-type wheel.
Availability, Warranty, and Pricing
The Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT is available on April 17 from the Fanatec webstore for €349.95 MSRP. The Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT is backed by a 2-year warranty in the EU (1-year in other regions).
