The Porsche Turbo steering wheel pretty much leaves most other console and PC steering wheels dead in the water. It features an undeniably cool design with that all-important Porsche logo located prominently in the center of the wheel and with extra-strong force feedback and a belt drive system, the realism ought to satisfy most serious gamers. It is heavily customizable, allowing users to choose turning angles of 900°, 360°, 180° or in 1° steps; selection is made using software, eliminating the often troublesome process of manual tuning.
With GT5 on the way, many console gamers are likely to be giving a steering wheel some serious thought. Considering the fact, that the Porsche Turbo Steering Wall comes at a price just south of a PS3, a large number of gamers will be dissuaded. For the few and the lucky, console driving nirvana comes with a $349.95 price tag. According to the website the wheel only supports PS3 or PC, X360 owners are out of luck.

f^^k me running.. do you have to charge this much for a steering wheel and a damn gearshifter… all the cheap wheels comes with no gear shifters, i finally find the G25 and it over 100 british pounds, with postage u need to pay half the amount it costs.. i look for another wheel with a shifter, and here i am, looking at the Porsche wheel, and guess what?? i should probably stop writing if i want this to be published..

I feel that the G25 will be much more satisfying to the gaming user as the shifter can be moved to the desired position. Who really cares if this has the Porsche logo on it?
