VPG Sim Porsche Cup 992.2 Sim Wheel

VPG Porsche 911 Cup Sim Wheel

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup is an officially licensed Porsche sim racing wheel developed in collaboration with Porsche, which made its global debut alongside the new 911 Cup Car — a first in sim racing history. Built around a genuine Porsche Cup (992.2) pre-preg carbon fibre body and grips produced in the same facility as the real race car wheel, it packs 76 mappable inputs, 88 RGB LEDs and magnetic paddle shifters into just 1030 g — a purpose-built sim racing instrument, not a replica.

Main Features

• Officially licensed by Porsche: developed in collaboration with Porsche and unveiled with the 911 Cup Car itself.
• Genuine Cup carbon fibre: carcass and front plate manufactured entirely from motorsport-specification pre-preg carbon fibre, in the very facility where the actual race car wheel is made — maximum strength, minimal flex.
• Lightest high-end sim wheel: at just 1030 g, lower inertia means faster response, sharper feedback and more force feedback detail transmitted to your hands.
• 76 mappable inputs: 10 APEM 650gf buttons, 2 Otto P9 rear buttons, 2+2 ALPS 7-way funky switches and 4 Elma 12-position rotary switches, each configurable as an encoder.
• Thumb-rest rotary knobs: positioned exactly where your thumbs rest for on-the-fly adjustments with zero repositioning, plus two rear Otto P9 buttons for quick-access functions.
• 88 individually controlled RGB LEDs: 4 LEDs per button and 24 addressable LEDs around each front rotary, fully customisable through SimHub.
• VPG Sim Suite & magic buttons: a first-in-the-industry firmware architecture lets you match magic button functions to individual positions of the front rotary switches.
• Automotive-grade electronics: tactile switches with crisp feedback and encoders with a satisfying click, selected for precision and durability lap after lap.
• Magnetic paddle shifters plus a 4-pin rear connector for USB-C integration.
• Aluminium button guards and knobs for a true motorsport finish.

Compatibility

PC via USB. The wheel connects with a single USB cable and should be plugged into a powered USB hub (2.0 suggested) positioned as close as possible to your wheelbase, or via a USB extension up to 2 m, or an active repeater cable up to 5 m. Avoid placing an extension between the coiled cable and a powered hub, or passive extensions longer than 2 m. The wheel mounts natively on 50.8 mm PCD; mounting on 70 mm PCD quick releases requires the VPG wheel Hub and adaptor, sold separately. It is fully compatible with the VPG Duo-Mode Paddles clutch add-on kit, and all lighting is driven through SimHub.

Optional Accessories

• Duo-Mode Paddles: VPG's clutch paddle add-on kit, available as a factory-fitted option or separately.
• VPG Spacer / wheel Hub with adaptor: required for mounting on 70 mm PCD quick releases, sold separately.

FAQ

Is this an official Porsche product?

Yes. The 911 Cup sim wheel is officially licensed by Porsche and was developed in collaboration with Porsche, debuting alongside the real 911 Cup Car. Its carbon fibre body and grips come from the same facility that produces the actual race car wheel.

Which wheelbases does the VPG Porsche 911 Cup fit?

It mounts natively on 50.8 mm PCD quick releases. For 70 mm PCD bases, you need the VPG wheel Hub and adaptor, sold separately.

Does it have clutch paddles?

Magnetic paddle shifters are standard, and the wheel is fully compatible with VPG's Duo-Mode Paddles clutch add-on kit, available as an option.

How do I connect the wheel?

Via a single USB cable, ideally into a powered USB 2.0 hub placed close to your wheelbase. A passive USB extension up to 2 m or an active repeater cable up to 5 m also works; avoid combining an extension with a hub or using passive extensions beyond 2 m.

Can I customise the lighting and controls?

Yes. All 88 RGB LEDs are individually addressable through SimHub, and the VPG Sim Suite lets you assign magic button functions to individual positions of the front rotary switches.
