VPG Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo Steering Wheel

VPG Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo

The VPG Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo is an officially licensed sim racing wheel developed in collaboration with Porsche Motorsport. Derived directly from the steering wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo race car, it keeps the same carbon fibre structure (992.2), the same shifter mechanism as the car and the same control layout, with the same spacing and reach. Only the electronics change: 128 mappable inputs, 137 individually controlled RGB LEDs, all in 1150 g and 309 mm.
