Fanatec Bentley Wheel GT3
Fanatec has once again raised the bar with the introduction of the Podium Steering Wheel Bentley GT3, a steering wheel that further blurs the line between sim racing and the real world. This steering wheel is an exact replica of the one used in the Bentley Continental GT3 race car, one of the most iconic cars in the GT3 championship. Sim racers and car enthusiasts can now enjoy the ultimate precision and high-quality finish offered by this steering wheel.
This steering wheel was announced long ago and it was then quiet around this premium steering wheel for years. After the introduction of the super realistic Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 steering wheel, the revolutionary CSL pedals, the new CSL DD (Direct Drive) and the Limited Edition ClubSport F1 2021 wheel Fanatec already announced that more was coming. And that is beyond belief! The leading manufacturer of sim racing hardware has just announced yet another new product: the Fanatec Bentley GT3 wheel.
Fanatec brings Pikes Peak to your living room
The Fanatec Bentley Wheel GT3 was developed in collaboration with Bentley Motors Limited for use with the real Continental GT3 Pikes Peak race car. So a very authentic specimen! This wheel was built to handle the world's most infamous and dangerous hill climb course. So this steering wheel demands extraordinary performance. Both on the real and virtual track.
The most advanced racing wheel ever made
This is the most advanced wheel we have ever made," explained Thomas Jackermeier, CEO of Fanatec. The Fanatec Bentley GT3 racing wheel, that fuses the real and virtual worlds, has a 310 mm-diameter rim with Alcantara grips built on a magnesium core and a 5 mm carbon fibre front plate with a unique green weave. The centrepiece of the wheel is a circular 3.4-inch digital display, which provides live vehicle telemetry and performance information.
You will also find two seven-way FunkySwitch directional sticks, a pair of aluminium thumbwheels and four magnetic paddles - two for swapping and two assignable tools. The design is based on the Continental GT car. Integrated RevLEDs and programmable FlagLEDs are also included.
A Masterpiece of Engineering and Design
The Podium Steering Wheel Bentley GT3 is made with premium materials such as genuine carbon fibre, which not only ensures a high-quality look but also a light and robust design. The finish is sublime and exudes the same luxury and sportiness as the Bentley itself. The steering wheel is equipped with a genuine leather wrapped around the handlebars, for an authentic and comfortable feel during long racing sessions.
Advanced Features For Maximum Control
What makes this steering wheel truly special are the innovative features it offers. It features magnetic shift paddles, which provide fast and precise shifting, as you would experience in a real race car. The paddles give a satisfying click and are designed to remain smooth even under heavy loads.
In addition, the handlebar includes a fully integrated 11.4 cm LCD display that shows you real-time data such as speed, RPM, fuel consumption and lap times. This not only makes it functional, but also increases the immersion for sim racers who want to monitor their performance in detail.
