A faithful replica of the 911 GT3 Cup steering wheel

This Podium Steering Wheel doesn't just evoke a race car—it's a millimeter-for-millimeter replica of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup steering wheel. The 32-cm rim is modeled from Porsche’s original CAD files, machined from brushed and anodized aluminum, and then wrapped in premium smooth leather. The embossed metallic Porsche badge and the overall finish immediately place this product at the very top of the sim racing market. Importantly, this is a complete package—not just a steering wheel: it includes the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup leather steering wheel, the Podium Endurance button module, the Podium Advanced paddle module, and the Podium Hub, all connected via the QR2 quick-release mechanism on the steering wheel side.

The Endurance module: a true command center

The functional heart of this steering wheel is its Endurance module. It features a 2.7-inch OLED screen (256 x 64) capable of displaying telemetry and adjusting force feedback without taking your hands off the wheel, thanks to Intelligent Telemetry mode and its five layouts. Surrounding it, the feature set is extensive: ten buttons, two 12-position multi-position switches (usable in encoder mode), two two-position toggles, a 7-way FunkySwitch, and a 2-axis mini analog stick. Nine RevLED RGBs and six FlagLED RGBs manage engine RPM and flags. The carbon fiber front panel and metal reinforcements give the unit a solid, professional feel, designed for long races where you’ll be making frequent adjustments on the track.

Magnetic paddles and analog clutch

The Advanced Paddle module, often sold as a separate accessory, is included here. It features magnetically actuated shift paddles (neodymium magnets and Hall effect sensors), with 3-mm carbon plates mounted on a CNC-machined aluminum cage. In addition, there are two analog paddles that can be configured for clutch slip, dual clutch, or brake/throttle functions. This system is designed for riders who want to control a clutch-controlled start or a second analog input without using the foot controls. The Podium Hub, made of gold-anodized aluminum and equipped with an ARM processor, completes this modular architecture.

Compatible bases and brackets

This steering wheel is compatible with a wide range of Fanatec bases: the Podium DD1, DD2, and DD1 PS4; the ClubSport V2.5; the CSL DD; the Gran Turismo DD Pro; and the CSL Elite+ and V1.1. When it comes to platforms, you need to be specific to avoid any unpleasant surprises. It is fully compatible with PCs. On PlayStation, it may work, but compatibility depends on the base and the game. However, this steering wheel is not compatible with Xbox. If you primarily use the Microsoft console, this isn’t the product for you. The connection is made via the reversible DataPort-C connector, and Fanatec offers a three-year warranty.

Who This Steering Wheel Is For

The Porsche 911 GT3 R Leather Podium is designed for sim racers who already own a Fanatec Direct Drive base and want to upgrade to a complete, authentic, and fully equipped GT cockpit. Porsche enthusiasts, endurance racers, and gamers who frequently adjust settings during races will find a faithful steering wheel, an integrated telemetry screen, and a high-end paddle shifter all combined in a single package. It’s a significant investment, best suited for those who will truly make the most of this wealth of features.
