If its as good as it sounds it fits right in the next tier up from Logitech and right below the ECCI type of products..
Porsche style Sim Wheel

That looks interesting. Did I read it correctly? 1 motor for the feedback and 2 for motor vibration? HuH? That should be the other way around me thinks. I'm a bit skeptical about wireless though. Lag sux.

This sounds sexy -
# Realistic clutch pedal with declining resistance
# Pressure sensitive brake with soft-stop

Wheel looks great with Porsche symbol too! :-)

Does indeed look like a nice wheel... there needs to be a consumer FFB wheel above the G25 (the FREX kit is too expensive for most afterall). Maybe this will be Sam's next wheel :D

- Wheel turn of 900°, 360° or 180°

If I'm reading this correctly there won't be much choice in degrees of rotation, which sucks badly.

It sounds interesting. I like the chair/wheel stand being used in the bottom photo, except I would have that screen 4 feet from my face for more immersion.

Damn MS for not allowing anyone else to make wheels for the xbox 360. Forza 2 kinda has my eye but the ps3 may end up being the console for sim racers due to its hardware support.

I thought it interesting that the Fanatec website doesn't have any mention of it, anywhere, not a press release or anything.

Be forewarned. Fanatec is not the greatest manufacturer around. They have made wheels before that were junk. Just a another plastic toy maker IMO.

I guarantee you are buying a Porsche badge and leather wheel and POS internals and pedals. I would bet $500 that the G25 is ALOT better than this thing (and I dont much care for Forcefeedback wheels).

By looking at the pictures, i agree with steve, it looks cheap, lacks buttons, and is way over priced. I personally don't gice a sh*t what brand is on it. If they dumped the Porsche thing and sold the wheel for 200 bucks or less, then i might care.
