[heavyDandthehomeboys]

[MMIICompany1]

Does it work with the PS2?

[vrockpokey100]

what is the cheapest racing wheel?

[LSnoob]

how much would it cost today and do they have it for xbox 360?

[MrDirtbikemaniac]

@LSnoob 360 ones are quite expensive, but they exist...to a big price

[ShaolinKungfuArnhem]

I have the f430 now would this wheel make me faster? I mean how is the spring.

[ShaolinKungfuArnhem]

I have the f430 now would this wheel make me faster? I mean how is the spring. (i dont use Force feedback i use the auto to go back in the middel.

[leftylethborg]

this shit costs more then my actual real car

granted my car cost me 200 bucks

mazda 323 turbo

[jjizabeast1]

u didnt say anyting about xbox 360 but i see da button

[kman11rocks]

whats the cheapest u can get 1 of these for ps3?

[fatqwert200]

actually it is not very much like a porsche yes the gas petal is at the floor but the clutch is at the top mind you that it is not a wire clutch but a hydrolic clutch ideal that it is mounted at the top.. irrelevent really but these controllers will never be realistic for commercial sales to expensive for china made

[mastermanny14]

Does this wheel work on midnight club los angeles?

[pikachuisverycute07]

if it has an xbox button why dosent it work on xbox

[tuningvelocity]

Have you guys had any problem with this wheel? Sometimes I have an issue where the pedals will not configure well with iRacing. The car well start reving like crazy. The wheel will jerk alot when stopped. the stand and the holes do not match up on both sides. If you guys have had any of these issues please let me know how u fixed it. Thanks

[TaiMaiSht]

can i have your prototype please :D

[MrJackejr]

i have one question if i (when driving) drive manually is the switch controller like you only only push it back and forward to switch between gears or is it like a real car...

[KeySteRMusic]

We can see that they copied it from G25/G27 Logitech...

That Porshe steering wheel could be even better than logitech if

one of them "geniuses" could think of dumb handbrake -.-...

[slick1ru2]

Sigh. No paddles. I would love to upgrade some day from the Driving Force Wireless to a laptop with no peddles, but use paddles. Scratch this off my wish list. 

[11jeopardy11]

Do you know of any car games that have free roam like TDU or MCLA but also has a clutch option?

thanks

[TheZeke44]

how much is this wheel and ware can i get one (in the U.S.A)???

[earloftea]

@TheZeke44 only in sweden, sorry dude!

[harrygoozee]

you never use the shifter

[altair562]

hello. are from romania and I want a receiver for this wheel. I would buy one of the original company but they cost too much travel from Germany. if you can help contact me on the receiver jax_for3v3r@yahoo.com

[MrSuperInsane]

Does it work for the xbox 360?

[thegtaIVlover]

@MrSuperInsane yes it's workin on the xbox 360 ;)

[thegtaIVlover]

@MrSuperInsane yes it works on that console ;)

[beallnoel85]

how much do they cost

[MyLila9]

do they make it for the xbox 360

[d3tach3d]

for 350$ everything should be steel and aluminum.

[juiced97snake1]

do they make this for xbox?

[MrGurra97]

does it work on xbox 360 ? plz answer

[MrPopyotop]

You know I saw the Ferrari F30 wheel on Amazon for 109$ It was 125$ . guess it went on sale !! I ended up getting the Driving force GT wheel and pedals 150$ at best buy . but from what I have seen the Ferrari 430 wheel is the best sub 100-200$ wheel system !! I'm happy with the DFGT wheel . Soon i'll buy the F430 too :-)

[rherrman35]

Can you use this unit for like German Truck Simulator 2010?

[JChan1026]

is this wheel better than the GT3 RS with club sport pedals?

[superslomoe]

Great vid as always, very informative, I just wanted to know if you were planning to review the turbo S, one of the few wheels I know of that you can use with the PC, 360 and PS3. thanks guys!

[Fredrinski]

srsly? xbox buttons and not compatible with xbox? thats.. dumb

[IIARROWS]

Read the instructions!!! To mount the wheel, you have to pull two lever on the clamp... Once you do this, the wheel is stuck in place.

[kohy1990]

This is an ugly something.. I never liked the racing wheels with markers. If I could buy one I should buy a Logtech G27! It's mutch metter, more confortable and more prettyer than this monster shit...:)

[MK384]

whats a good racing seat cockpit to mount these on?

[Fear3001]

FFS this does work for 360 !!!!!

[nowaytodierox]

are fanatec trust worthy?

[shankyou67]

does this come with pedals?

[chinmassager]

sorry one more question. does it now come with paddle shifters ? someone told me that all versions now come with paddle shifters installed whereas original versions didnt !

[akblyth]

can you disable the gears?

[DrifterX360]

what is rfactor



[SLCreations21]

@DrifterX360 gfgi

[Helloelinore]

where can you buy this?

[mb7268]

does it have force feedback



[ExRussian86]

At 0:43, why is that guy has his right foot on a gas pedal and left foot on brake pedal??? Is he retarted?

[simracingtonight]

@ExRussian86 No but I can bet he's faster than you.. Race car drivers, especially in open wheel cars, left foot brake because it's faster.

[FeeLtheHertZ]

@ExRussian86 - you don't even know how to spell "retarded"...Enough said ignoramus.

[mcjamz]

@ExRussian86 haha well spotted bro :D what a wanker

[kdmac67]

@ExRussian86 No he is not retarded, every racer uses both feet, both real races and sim racers. So I guess you are the retard.

[armsdealer99]

@ExRussian86 Cart racers all drive like that. Try it, you'll find it very fast.

[airbob11]

@ExRussian86 you must be retarted if you think that race car drivers drive with one foot...

[trickylev96]

@ExRussian86

All german cars are like that.

[AznUnboxer]

this or g27?

[DMaN4245]

Are standard plastic Fanatec pedals a good quality pedals?

[simracingtonight]

@DMaN4245 THey are decent pedals, yes

[aceofdaplace24]

@simracingtonight i had the proto to this bad boy for maybe 2 yrs and she worked like a GEM...pedals crapped out after a while (yr plus) but the wheel KEEPT GOING..till febuary when the receiverstarted to go...AWESOME WHEEL NONE THE LESS!!!

[G4rb0han]

@simracingtonight Please, help me! Can you offer me a cheapest ps3 steering wheel with force feedback, clutch and H shift stick?

[tokenride04]

@G4rb0han fanatec.de lol

[SuperDarkLords]

its does work on xbox 360 right?

and on ps2?

[flyboy0920]

it has been a year or so is it still holding up or did the pedals break or is it still good?

[simracingtonight]

@flyboy0920 Pedals are good ... The Clubsport pedals are the way to go though.

[Smikefliege]

@simracingtonight but way WAY more expensive than the standard ones

[MrJackejr]

@simracingtonight i have one question if i (when driving) drive manually is the switch controller like you only only push it back and forward to switch between gears or is it like a real car...

[DMaN4245]

The pedals are plastic or metal?

[simracingtonight]

@DMaN4245 Plastic.> The newer Clubsport Pedals are aluminum

[adsahar]

360 deg, what is this a joke? I can't get it. How other brands want to compete with Logitech when they don't even have 900 deg product?? :( I'm not biased, it's the truth.

[xxl606]

What's that Xbox fans? This wheel isn't compatible with Xbox 360? lol jk xD

[dutyfan11]

G27 is better

[AdrianKmiecik]

how much dose it cost?>

[GeRmANpWR52]

i know but its funny

[BrandonGaetaMusic]

hey if it can plug in via USB then WHY WON'T IT WORK FOR 360 WHAST WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY MADE THIS WHEEL (AND THE G25) TO ONLY WORK FOR PLAYSTATION AND PC?? Lol they would of sold like 593867598673409845346872340694­57 more if they made those with the clutch and H pattern gear box for 360.

[simracingtonight]

@BrandonGaetaMusic They have. It's called the Turbo S .. We did our review of Forza 3 with it

[mytemp1]

@BrandonGaetaMusic Cause you bought a console. Racing games are only meant to be played on PC. Console racing games aren't realistic and don't have the processing power to handle real driving physics. You need a PC to use this wheel and any game thats made for it.

[GeRmANpWR52]

you guys say FANATEC funny

[simracingtonight]

@GeRmANpWR52 We say it the way the CEO of Fanatec says it

[MrPopyotop]

Where can i buy the nicely wrapped Porsche wheel ? Yall know we go to game stop or walmart & they just have some cheap plastic wheel !! & tryin to get 100$ for it LOL I want one of these wheels .

[MrPopyotop]

I enjoy these guy's video's !!! I got forza 3 today & ive gotta say WOW :) It's a cool game ... If you like car's & racing , This is a game for you !!!!!!

[MrQueerzy]

How much does this cost.?

[sbman8]

it is too compatible for the xbox 360 i have read the website and people are using it for that

and the price i do belive went down. the thing looks very pin point when they are playing

[crazykids70]

What are all of the racing wheels that are compatible with the Xbox 360?

[blackjin21]

id say this is better cheaper and its good quality id say thou wait a little and the price will drop and ur good

IS THIS PS2 COMPATIBLE I NEED TO KNOW

[RozenX]

Is this better or the G25?

[MacsCanfly]

@RozenX this is better

[equoowe]

i hate how slow the wheel spins, i got mine last week and i can no longer drift in LFS because the wheel is way to slow, was hoping to replace my semi broken G25 with this wheel for when GT5 is out but i'll be going back to the G25 for that

for iracing the wheel is really good, force feedback feels good, using the G25 pedals and shifter because they feel so much better

[sharad909]

how much is this????

[RozenX]

$200.

[pwner1734]

which on is better the thrustmaster the fantec or the g25 because i want to buy a new wheel

[aeg12p]

Fanatec.

[pwner1734]

which one is better the g25 or the porsche 911 wheel.

[TPNEWYORKER]

Is it better or just more fun when you use a steering wheel in these games, if so then is it better to get a paddle shifter or knob shifter?

[1eandr1]

You lot forgot to mention that this wheel is in fact compatible with the Xbox 360. There is a 'Pure' edition for xbox 360 only, or there are other packages available. The full package includes all the hardware (pedals, shifters etc) and is compatible with PC, PS3 and Xbox 360...so it's all in one too

[simracingtonight]

You should check the date of this review.. January 2009 :-) . The "S" wasn't available at the time. This wheel was not in fact compatible with the 360.

[sarokas12]

87.125??

You should use a 1:100000 scale xD

[Sasuke0245]

get a G25

[GSXJR]

@Sasuke0245 does da G25 work for da xbox?

[t1billups]

@GSXJR  no

[MrSchiedsrichter]

yes

[yanni6556]

anyone know how to get the shifter working on live for speed?

[TheBoksera631]

@yanni6556 well i don't have a shifter but go to options controls i forgot their real names in LFS but have your wheel pluged choose wheel\gamepad and a bit down there is a gear shift mode choose shifter and downer are the controls set them up and try. i don't know will it work but i hope so.

[dragracer659]

G25 SUX!

[MrSchiedsrichter]

I have the Porsche wheel and the g25 driven at a friend and both are good, but g25 is al ittle better

[dogboy54321]

get the g27

[Aztech355]

Thats MIni Din not S-video connection because S-video has 4 pins but good video.

[SpeedColonel]

no paddle shift and no spring on gas pedal... bye

[Dube230]

You can use G25 pedals or upgrade to the Clubsport Pedals which blow those away.

[StealthMonkey25]

it does have paddle shift, atleast my Turbo S wheel does

[voltrumiks]

what do u mean ? does it make any difference ? :D

[xsbgtr]

It´s more "pure" with the propper manual gear lever

[markthema3]

@SpeedColonel

Paddles?!?!?!? SCREW PADDLES!!!! It has a REAL shifter! It also works with g25 pedals.

[yanni6556]

so much beter than g25

[sk8taforlife]

why can i not find this anywhere!?

[VincehzF1]

get it on ebay

[djmadboy2]

@KINGTIGER17 ye ive heard they do with forrza 3

[ghostgaffdeck08]

@KINGTIGER17 there are single wheels from fanatec including the 911 but not this one that are just for xbox just do some research on fanatec's website =)

[rendezvous65]

Get the TurboS and it works with the 360. The regular turbo isn't compatible with the 360 but the Turbo S is compatible. Hope this helps.

[Ddub128]

To anyone who bought the pure edition, did you receive a cable to hook up the pedals? I can't find mine, and I don't think they sent one.

[rendezvous65]

Email fanatec and they'll send you a pedal adapter so you can use your G25/G27 or even one so you can use the 360 wheel pedals.

[Dube230]

I just ordered the Turbo S for Forza/GT5/GTR EVO, can you tell me if this wheel (Turbo S) works as good as this one (Turbo) for PS3/PC? I'm really hoping so as i REALLY wanted a wheel to support all 3

[rendezvous65]

The Turbo S is probably just as good but it's actually better as it has the CS paddles and it supports all 3 major platforms.

[GOZERmantis]

ugliest fucking wheel ever i dont give a fuck if its a 911 wheel...

[gticri]

better or not than g25?

[rendezvous65]

For the Turbo S wheel make sure you set it to 900 degrees before you start Forza 3 if you want maximum performance. If you don't then the steering is terrible.

[jedwards09elmira]

Hey so I take it that this wheel is compatible with 360?

[rendezvous65]

Yep if you watch the video it works with PS3, PC, and 360. Always set the wheel to 900 before you play any game that supports 900 degrees. This is from Fanatec.

[JonJon90245]

@jedwards09elmira only the "turbo s" the regular turbo won't work with the xbox 360

[thelegendarypaki]

No its not. The console war continues and the consumers continue to suffer.

[Dube230]

Really? In there Forza review they say they use 270 deg even though they use 900 in other games. I guess i'll have to try it out when i get mine next month.

[rendezvous65]

No they posted it their forums that you must set the wheel to 900 degrees before playing Forza. This is what fanatec says.

[JChan1026]

this thing looks great..althought the shifter is quite hard...too bad it isn't selling here in HK..-v-

[Perazzi11]

the 911 turbo is now $200.... great deal

[Computenator]

wait wait wait...it has xbox button logo thingy and isn't supported for xbox? lol that's just mean XD

[simracingtonight]

The new "S" version is compatible

[inboundDMC]

@Computenator really? not supported? damn

[brnbox]

i´m dissapointed with fanatec staff.

Is impossible to contact with them.

They completely ignore the buyer.

Caution, keep in mind.

[rendezvous65]

Fanatec should get a big shipment of the G25 pedal adapters so just email their support so you can get them. Thomas said that a few of the turbo S pure wheels didn't have them and is willing to help those owners get them back.

[boevenpoep]

It also works on the XBOX 360 !!

I have noticed you were playing rFactor but with totally net tracks/cars. How can you do this ?

[whooopachang]

can you buy it in Australia or do you have to order it from overseas?

[MrMp5123]

cool vid but does the racing wheel work on any racing game

[lusseistheshit]

I still think my g25 is better. I dont like the wireless shit. The responsetime is critical in a steeringwheel.

[NCisfullofhicks]

When you click product comparison on fanatec's website, it shows it for 350USD and 199EUR. But when you check their USA online store it shows it for $199.95. Everywhere else online it shows for 350USD. How much is this wheel!? And why does their website show contradicting information?

[o0XoJoRdANoX0o]

how much is it ?

[SpideyFan6010]

So Far the G25 is STILL the best wheel on the market but it is only compatible for the PS3 and PC. I like this wheel only because it Works 4 the 360/PS3/PC. If the G25 was 360 compatible no other wheels would be on the market.

[RazorRC3]

i wish the g25 was compatible for the 360..i really love it when i tested it at a local eletronics store...that wheel would be awesome with the new forza 3 game....

[SpideyFan6010]

I heard the G27 was compatible with the 360 don't know if it is true though.

[rendezvous65]

The 911 Turbo S wheel is compatible with the 360 but the G27/G25 pedals can be made to work with this wheel with an adapter.

[SpideyFan6010]

Send me the link so i can get the adapters cause i am tired of using my controller for Forza 3 and I don't like the pedals or shifter that comes with the 911 Turbo S wheel.

[boevenpoep]

Sadly, it's not...

[ionowattoput]

this wheel is compatable w/ the 360

when u order it

u must order the PORSCHE 911 TURBO S

thats the one that works on xbox

[eizaan30]

Get this game for free from Lockerz. It's owned by Amazon and you dont have to do offers. you get points by doing things like signing in! you can only get in by invite. just send me a message with your email and ill get you in.

[ezuan88]

does it work for xbox360

[explicitsz]

yes it does, probably not the one they were sented. Go to the fanatec website, its $350 for the one that works on the 360.

[Vicious713]

A week ago i just ordered one for the 360 for $250. Ima just use it on my desk, so i dunno if i should consider hard mounting it to wood..

[rattaplan]

What's this talk about 900 degrees??

I could clearly see a 540 degrees left and 540 degrees right (1.5 turn each side, 1080 degrees total).

[gherre]

3:20 - it is clearly 450 degrees each way

[fagaturbovr6]

hi. where can I buy the porch Fanatec 911 Turbo wheel?? but from the city here in mexico??? or which bank should I deposit to buy the wheel???

[jgto17]

damn i really want one of those for forza 3!!!! drifting with that wheel would be SICK!

[essboarder23]

But they cost... um. yeah...

I wanted one, but besides this one shipment, its pretty sold out...

Im just getting the regular racing wheel. sadly...

[jgto17]

lol ya thats what my jobs for tho! i just hope they dont sell out til i got the money

[essboarder23]

how much do you have so far?

I think its 20 bucks off currently

[jgto17]

HAHAHA i got 40 bucks! and i dont get to go back to work until im off for thanksgiving break lol, so ya, i will be sellin stuff

[essboarder23]

I've got enough to buy it, but I don't have a proper place to use it (I don't have a good desk to clamp it too).

[Retrogamer71]

Rennsport Stand from Fanatec is

ideal. The wheel angles up and down

when mounted. Euro 99 plus shipping.

[91tajwan91]

braking with left leg?? -,-

[Retrogamer71]

The wheel is like buying a prestige

sportscar, you've got to preorder

and wait for it to be produced.

[PBearHBK]

Hey guys, due to this review I have decided to take the plunge on this wheel (the one also compatible with the XBOX 360). Shaun, are you still using it, or did you go back to the G25/G27?

I wanted this so I would have a wheel compatible with all 3 systems. I will let you guys know my thoughts later.

[Shieldy12]

87.125? man that guy's accurate

[jondea0]

Can the logitech g25 shifter be pluged in to this wheel? On the fanatec website it says it is compatable with the g25 peddles

[xXFMSXx]

yes its compatable with g25 and xbox 360 wheel and i think more

[Irishlad147]

Will the pedals be improved for the xbox 360 Turbo S?? Or will the pedals on the xbox 360 wheel be identical to what is showcased on here? I would be very grateful if either Fanetec1 or the Simracing guys could respond to my question..

[xXFMSXx]

if you didnt like the pedals you can get ClubSport Pedals check it on

watch?v=54iQktxDQOM

[Retrogamer71]

Clubsport pedals, yes!. Best looking

and best engineered pedals on the market. I hope when I get a G25 for

off roading in Dirt and Dirt 2 that the

clubsport pedals are compatible.

And secondly "dongle" is a fun word

to say but not so great if you have an

xbox.

[ji3200]

why not so great about dongle. i rather have wireless then long cord hang in on the floor. this wheel is wireless without any delay not like other wheel.

[Retrogamer71]

"not so great" about dongle 'cause

its the 360 that currently hasn't the

wireless support from Fabatec.

[herpnut]

Great review!

Will these pedals work with the microsoft xbox 360 wheel?

[xXFMSXx]

get the hole wheel it work with xbox 360

911 turbo s is the one will work on 360
