An official Porsche steering wheel, wired for the Xbox

This ClubSport Steering Wheel Porsche 911 GT3 R V2 is a complete package that Fanatec assembles from three components: the suede-covered Podium Wheel Rim Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, the Podium Button Module Endurance, and the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox. It’s this last component that makes all the difference with this model: its onboard electronics enable compatibility with Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S, while still working on PC. On PlayStation, however, functionality remains limited, so if your setup is centered around a Sony console, this isn’t the version to go for.

Suede and the GT3 Cup replica

The rim is modeled after the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup steering wheel, based on the original CAD data. Its 32-cm brushed and anodized aluminum rim is wrapped in genuine suede, featuring an embossed metallic Porsche emblem. Suede is the texture found on real racing steering wheels: grippy, warm, and premium. It does, however, require a bit of care, and Fanatec recommends driving while wearing gloves to preserve the material over time. This is the classic trade-off between suede and leather—suede is more forgiving but less race-oriented.

An Endurance module that serves as a dashboard

The Endurance Button Module is the most feature-rich part of the set. Its genuine carbon fiber faceplate features ten buttons, two toggle switches, two 12-position rotary switches that can also be used as endless encoders, a 7-way FunkySwitch, and a two-axis analog mini-joystick. In the center, a 2.7-inch OLED screen displays the base settings and, most importantly, the Intelligent Telemetry mode, which offers several telemetry layouts depending on the game. Nine speed LEDs and six flag LEDs round out the in-race display, all of which can be configured via FanaLab. This gives you everything you need to control settings and view information without ever letting go of the steering wheel.

Magnetic paddles and quick-release fasteners

On the mechanical side, the hub features the ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module, with 3 mm anodized aluminum paddles and neodymium magnets for crisp, snappy shifting. Two sets of paddles—small and large—are included, along with adjustable spacers to adjust the spacing. The assembly mounts to the base via a QR2 quick-release fastener on the steering wheel side, ensuring rigidity and allowing for quick changes if you switch between multiple rims.

On what basis and for which pilot

This set is part of the Fanatec ecosystem and is compatible with the Podium DD, ClubSport DD and DD+, CSL DD, and Gran Turismo DD Pro bases, as well as the CSL Elite. On a Direct Drive base, the rigidity of the rim and metal hub allows force feedback to pass through unfiltered, making it perfectly suited for demanding GT and GT3 use. The target audience is clear: intermediate to advanced drivers who already own a good base unit and are looking for the immersive experience of a true endurance racing wheel on Xbox. This is neither an entry-level product nor a supplementary accessory, but a premium driving station.

Key Takeaways

The ClubSport Porsche 911 GT3 R V2 for Xbox checks all the right boxes for anyone looking for a full-featured GT steering wheel compatible with consoles: an official replica, premium suede, a well-equipped Endurance module, and a QR2 quick-release mount. There are two caveats to keep in mind: suede maintenance, and compatibility tailored for Xbox and PC rather than PlayStation. Within its category, it’s a well-rounded and clearly high-end product.
