Full-scale replica.
Officially licensed by McLaren Automotive Limited, this is a full-size, detailed reproduction of the steering wheel used in McLaren GT3 race cars. The overall shape, as well as the size of the switches, paddles, and dials is based on original McLaren CAD data.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED FOR XBOX®.
Attach this wheel to any compatible FANATEC® wheel base and the whole system (including attached peripherals such as shifters, pedals, or handbrake) will work on Xbox One® and Xbox Series X|S.

Realistic magnetic shifters, multi-purpose paddle system.
Use the dual-clutch paddle system as the ultimate weapon to nail every race start. The advanced bite-point mode allows you to determine the optimal bite-point before the start of the race​ and initiate the perfect launch every time.

NEVER MISS A SHIFT.
The shifting mechanism is completely revised, with a longer throw and magnetic resistance for superior tactile feedback. The rocker-type paddle is made from a single piece of anodised aluminium, allowing up and down-shifting with one hand.

Usually I think the rim is one of the least important items in a setup, but man, Fanatec is excelling now at value. Totally good job and keep it up!

Can't wait for November for my Csl DD to Arrive!

[bernardste]

Great wheel, I think it’s the best with at that price.
I changed the QR, so I can use it with high torque with my DD1.

Just for the retro synthwave song by Future Joust, massive like! Fanatec kills it with music taste only...

Thanks for introduction of the wheel. Are there any plans to improve compatibility with Xbox Series X? Currently not all buttons can be used and assigned to specific tasks and also display (and rev lights on formula wheel) is not working. Would be good if you could give an update on the Xbox compatibility progress. Thanks!

[SgtNiceman]

Why bindig the best reachable buttons N /P on consol with menu/share? I don’t understand this mistake, really..

Available now in the USA as of this post

Can this wheel fit smaller hands? The shifters do seem to be a bit far and the grip seems wide.

[gazrobo]

@ 06:22 "In position D the paddles can be mapped as two additional axes" What are some things this would be used for?

[dirtyjerz]

Trying to purchase this wheel rim, but the site is forcing me to buy either the free quick release or the club sport, but I already have both options. Can someone assist me in purchasing just the wheel?

[avflashback]

I swear Fanatec have released this wheel twice already.

[pwolamv]

Are we obliged to first use a PC to install the firmwares ? (I've only a Xbox)

[HamVR]

Thanks for the video. For those that have pre-ordered the CSL DD, which apparently uses a newer QR2 connector, do we order one of these McLaren GT3 steering wheels now with the current QR1 connector and then also order a QR2 adaptor (at some point once they are available) or will there be another revision of this McLaren GT3 wheel with a Q2 connector already fitted? Right now I've got a base pre-oredered but no wheel and want to reduce the amount unnecessary shipping where possible, thanks.

[adrianjuarez]

is this wheel compatible with the FANATEC - CSL Elite Wheel Base V1.1???

[eugenearmenis]

For console users how do you upgrade the software?

[zer]

Why is there a magnet on the top of the wheel?

[ajay.parameswaran]

Hello. Thank you for your detailed video walkthrough of the McLaren GT3 V2 wheel. May I ask a quick question? How could I get PlayStation button caps for this wheel? So far I am only able to see Xbox versions of this wheel available to purchase at my end.

[TheNicevideoclips]

Kind request to make your products available in India. We Indians are stuck with Logitech as our best budget wheel. So, there’s a big scope for you in the Indian market. Either through your own website or through Amazon or Flipkart.

I just ordered CSL DD with the boostkit and the McLaren wheel and can't wait to November, my question is, shall I upgrade to QR1 Wheel-Side (ClubSport Quick Release Adapter) or is it fine with the plastic one🙂

[jimmysays]

Can someone please tell me how to make the oled screen work
