Porsche 911 Turbo S Force Feedback Steering Wheel for the PS3
You are never going to own a Porsche 911 Turbo S. OK, you may own a model or a matchbox version, but never one you can get in, pick up a super model in, and drive her over to Sonic Burger with. It's OK, I will never have one either.
But mark my words, by all that is holy I will have one of these bad boys: the Porsche 911 Turbo S force feedback steering wheel for the PS3.
This is the official licensed steering wheel from the car of your dreams. And the best part? From the list of features it looks like it will not only not disappoint, but may very well be the greatest steering wheel of all time.
This is a partial list of the coolness that is the Porsche 911 Turbo S steering wheel for the PS3 (and PC), visit the Fanatec's site for the complete specs.
- Original Porsche 911 Turbo S steering wheel design
- Hand stitched leather wheel manufactured according to Porsche quality standards
- Wireless pedals with + 100 hours battery life time (low battery warning on display and optional power supply cable for simulators)

I ordered this on 11-12, with promise of delivery on 12-13. Well, it’s 12-17, and I have left numerous voice mails, talked to the secretary (who cannot tell me the name of “who” I need to talk to but leaves messages), I have sent emails, but no calls or emails are returned.
My ‘net invoice still says “pending”. The internet site as of yesterday says that the initial orders have been filled and that new orders will not be shipped until after the new year.
After spending nearly 400 dollars on this, I figured this would be a relatively seamless transaction. Sadly, it has not turned out to be so.
(I preordered the limited edition Nordschleife Edition with the Key… )
I am extremely frustrated. This was to be a Christmas gift for my husband… and now it looks like I am going to be left in a lurch just before Christmas, looking for a replacement.
Ugh.
It’s February 1 now, and I’m still waiting.
