Need for Speed SHIFT - Image 1Yes! We now have the car roster for the new NFS installment for consoles and PC, Need for Speed Shift (Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PSP). It's a handsome line-up, I should say, with 18 authentic race tracks, and over 65 pixel-perfect cars. The cover car: the coveted BMW M3 GT2. *drool* Plus, there's also the track list for the game, as well as some screenshots of the BMW ride.

Fanatec delivers to gamers the Porsche 911 Turbo S steering wheel controller for the PC and Sony PS3 - Image 1 


While a good number of steering wheel controllers have already been made for various consoles, nothing quite says style like this controller. Fantec, a German company responsible for making advanced gameware products, has designed a sleek steering wheel controller patterned from the Porsche 911 Turbo S's steering wheel for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the PC.

This leather steering wheel comes with the standard wireless USB features found in other steering wheel controllers. In addition, it actually sports force feedback controls which was initially unavailable for many PS3 games in particular.

Considering both the company's and the design's German origins, it wasn't very hard taking care of any licensing issues for the product. In any case, even if you can't get the actual car, you can satisfy yourself with this simulated feel of riding your very own Porsche in your favorite racing game on either platform.

Here's a complete list of all the features the Porsche 911 Turbo S steering wheel will be sporting:
  • Original Porsche 911 Turbo S steering wheel design
  • Licensed by Porsche Lizenz- und Handelsgesellschaft mbH
  • Authentic metal Porsche logo on wheel
  • Hand stitched leather wheel manufactured according to Porsche quality standards
  • Compatible with PC and Playstation 3 (all games which support ForceFeedback wheels)
  • 6+1 Speed H-pattern gear stick with realistic shifting feel
  • Additional exchangeable sequential gear stick included
  • Wireless pedals with + 100 hours battery life time (low battery warning on display and optional power supply cable for simulators)
You can check out the complete listing of features the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel has right after the jump!
