Fanatec has released their all new Bentley Steering wheel.
Developed in partnership with Bentley Motors Limited for use with the real Continental GT3 Pikes Peak race car, this steering wheel couldn’t be more authentic. It’s the real thing, built to handle the most notorious and dangerous hill climb course in the world.
You can order it now from the Fanatec website here
But you can also just use it at home in your own simulator, as long as you have a:
– CSL DD
– Gran Turismo DD
– Pro Wheel BaseClubSport DD
– ClubSport DD+

Combining ultimate performance with distinctive Bentley design, this 310 mm diameter wheel features a round 3.4” display, magnesium core, 5 mm-thick carbon fibre front plate with custom green weave, and Alcantara® grips.
STRIKING TIMEPIECE.
The included mount can be used to showcase the wheel on either your wall or desk. Powered by a USB connection, the wheel can be displayed as a clock inspired by the traditional timepiece found in the Bentley Continental GT. It can also replay preloaded telemetry and videos of famous circuits, showing pedal and steering inputs, gear changes, G-meter, and a track map.
ILLUMINATION.
In addition to the main display, the eight primary buttons also attract the eye with a special backlit surround. Integrated RGB RevLEDs and FlagLEDs are programmable to display many colours through FanaLab.
OPTIONAL LOWER HANDLE: THE PIKES PEAK GRIP.
Due to the number of hairpin turns on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course, it is essential for the wheel shape to feature a lower rim section. This optional grip (included) can be attached to help when applying extra steering lock around tight corners.
