Just to add a couple points we have been asked about from the video. - Rocker paddle uses hall sensors. - Allan keys will be included, they had not arrived prior to sending Will his wheel. - Power injection boxes with switches are in production and will be included in the very near future. - We will also look into including tweezers for decal application. Thank you to the team at Boosted Media for the incredibly detailed review 👏👍
I have this steering wheel. The worst thing that I bought for money from simracing devices. 1. Mounting bolts are made of super soft metal and just first there was a backlash, and then an impossible knock. I had to disassemble the device and change them. 2. Front encoders are attached with adhesive. And from the moment of purchase, they constantly fall into the inside, and as a result, these twisters were not usable. Because they just got stuck in intermediate positions. 3. For the 5th lap after the purchase, the upshift paddle mount just fell off. 4. And the most irreparable is the soft grips at the bottom. They just constantly bend, which creates an unpleasant feeling and unnecessary backlash when driving. This steering wheel is not for drivers, it is for those who just want to ride with a beautiful toy.
You already answered me, thanks. According to your judgment, I myself broke the steering wheel and handles and buttons. Although my first unboxing was live and everything was visible from the very beginning. And you also offered me a shipment for my money. Thank you, it was cheaper and easier for me to fix it myself.
@FotonGT wow this is crazy to hear because like 2500 Euros for 1 steering wheel is a lot of money. You can buy a BMW M4 wheel from Fanatec for 1500 Euros that also works for the real GT3 which means it is Rock Solid because if it can withstand the forces of a real GT3 car then 1000% it will be ok for simrig. So yeah I appreciate that you are truly honest about your own product and therefor wake us up before purchasing such expensive product ! 🏁👍
Great to see you back legend, really excited to see some upcoming reviews (mainly Asetek) but always happy to watch you review anything 100000000% best review channel on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, Thanks for all the hard work that you and Tom put in as well as your families that doesn't go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. Also new studio looks 🔥🔥🔥
I love the fact that you have (what I assume to be) an accidental German flag theme going on with your lighting in the space. Just perfect for the video.
I really wouldn't rave so much about this product or the company. Paid full fare for it, waited months for delivery, opened box to find electrical problems with a rotary encoder PLUS a scratched porsche crest. After that I was only shocked to to find Grid's service *outright arrogant* and insensitive to customers actual needs. You buy this product you're on your own guys--you pray it just comes out perfect right out of the box, and if it isn't, good luck.
One request. In future videos, can you add the durometer rating for the grips. I've used your videos as a guide for purchasing rims and that would help a ton. I used to get the F-Pro and the grips are rather hard. A non-subjective durometer rating will help us who purchase make a more informed decision as well. As we know, grips are the most important part of any wheel. Knowing the durometer on the rims with these types of grips make for better and more informed fans. Thanks as always for the great review. ❤
Will If you have seen my channel, you would know I NEVER spend money building my Hard Rubbish Rig.. BUT BROTHER, not only is it my fav iRacing car but that wheel is BOSS. Thanks so mutch for showing us, I gave you a shoutout on my crappy channel.
This was an excellent review Will. I own this wheel and it's quite stunning honestly. And it's very rare that the level of customer service matches the price point of this wheel. I'm a GRID customer for life.
Or you're a Grid employee, just posting something nice about your wheel. The gamers don't have such an amount of money, and the rich people have businesses, don't play games...
Lol! 😂 Believe me, I do afford it, but it doesn't value that much! Someone must be either filthy rich, just willing to throw money, either too addicted and brainwashed to spend 3k on this. Max 1k would be acceptable, but anyway.. not the one who asks 3k is stupid, but the one that pays is!
@@feraligatrs Meta sells the Quest 3 with 500$. Let's assume they sell it at no profit or even at loss, and they try to make money from the accessories. So let's say the Quest 3 value is 800$. How the hell can this wheel value be of 3 times more expensive? It's not by far as much technology in it.
@@carracer48 The wheel is holding up great, and I have had no issues, it still looks like new. I am only doing Iracing at the moment working my way up. I can’t comment on the known issues of “light paddles” as it my first an only wheel but as I say I’m delighted, I guess ignorance is bliss and you get use to what you have, though I would be interested in trying the V2 just to see. I was involved in a very bad accident which has left me with limited movement in my right leg, arms and hands, I have problems gripping with my right hand, my issue with the Cube controls was purely ergonomics, the MPX for me just did a better job. As for buying more wheels it’s a dangerous hobby you always want the latest hot poop, I am probably looking at a “rally” style wheel next and give that a go. Hope this helps.
This has been my dreamwheel since forever. But i couldnt justify the price.. Decided to make my own using pokornyi files. Sure i dont have leds on buttons and no clutch but i got rev leds and working screen. Im never going to replace my wheel now. Its so comfortable in your hands. If you dont have your thumb in your palm id recommend maning your own for a fraction of this price. I think it cost me 500 euro to make by myself
Great review thank you. Apologies if someone else has already mentioned this but when the wheel was "launched" it was unbranded. If you Google p911 sim wheel you’ll find it. Was out of stock for months, then appeared branded as a Porsche item. I love this wheel. Really nice, however I’m tempted by the new Gomez wheel which is considerably cheaper. It also has the mini joysticks, which as far as I can tell the p911 doesn’t have unfortunately. I suppose you could work around it with the rotary encoders but sometimes it’s easier to cycle through pit options with a joystick style input. The p911 looks slightly better built but I need to save up first anyway and then decide. 😂
Yet another fantatastic review by Boosted Media, had a chance to try out this wheel and have to say this is probably one of the nicest sim racing wheel I have ever used. Looking forward to see what Grid engineering can do in the future!
I'd like to see a XR mixed reality headset with software that lets you pass through reality windows just for the wheel and other parts of your SIM rig. So you can play in VR but still get the most out of wheels like this.
Good to see you back. Hope you’re healing well. Best reviews in the biz and while I may not be the target market for some of these things now it’s great to be able to work my way through the sim racing landscape using these sweet reviews for when I’m ready to upgrade.
Owning this wheel since a week now... I fell in love with it when I saw pictures of it like a year or so ago... and now owning this thing? Amazing... Amazing to drive, a breeze to handle adjusting tasks while driving, the grips are ergonomically very very good, which actually surprised me, because they look very "standard" and thin... but that is eluding due to the fact the corpus of the wheel is big. Yet this thing looks elegant for what it is, a replica of a racecar steering rim. And I really like the display... this had me worried, too, because I doubted that it would be useful to look "down" to it midrace, rather be destracting... but I think it works like a charm. Especially if you are able to "unlock" it's full potential by aligning the wheel - if you are up to it, also along with your whole rig - just like it is in the real RSR, like a little bit higher than your chin when fully horizontal, so the display sort of get's in line with the virtual dash and I angled the grid rim on about 20°... which usually is too much, but somehow this fits perfect and doesn't give me any strain on my wrists... And the wheel is just a charm to handle... it's so easy to rotate your grip along with the steering angle yet not slipping away or pushing it in narrow corners causing your fingers getting sore. Especially driving the thing the wheel was designed for, it is a breeze to balance the RSR mid corner and you feel like you hold a music instrument or something... even though I drive it on an Asetek Invicta wheelbase with appr. 40-60% of it's maximum power, you don't need white knuckle style gripping. It's totally overpriced, but there you go, another Porsche fanboy totally not caring for how pricy it is.
Excellent review for an expensive and beautiful wheel. not for my wallet of Shure. Great for you to be back, excellent studio and image shots. The sound is great too. So in resume an excellent studio to review an excellent Wheel. Great job Will 👍💪🔥🔥
Great review, thanks for that. I do own this wheel as well and I'm absolutely stunned by the overall quality of build and functionality. That said, I absolutely can't follow the previous comment about missing quality. Of course, when one heavily mistreats the wheel, it will break like the ones from any other manufacturer as well. If intentionally bending it, it will have some flex at the grips, but that's true for the real RSR wheel as well and won't be recognizable when used for driving purpose. Otherwise, what I saw until today at the GRID by Simlab Discord channel, there will be decent support in case of any question or issue. The wheel itself is truly on the heavy side, but on an SImucube 2 Pro, there is absolutely no drawback, I didn't even had to raise the FFB level as compensation. Regarding the grip's material I've to disagree with the review: when driving with gloves, the tacky feel is absolutely great, whereas the Cube Control grips feel slippy and like plastic. But this might be depending on the kind of gloves and if driving with or without. One point to mention is the missing power switch: If your USB ports will switch off power when the PC has been shut down, the wheel will shut down as well (BIOS UEFI setting). In the meantime, I've created a new SImhub LED profile for this RSR wheel, available for download at the mentioned Grid by Simlab Discord channel. This is an evolution of the one used for the review and much more refined. Now including LED flash and swirl effects for the side encoders plus game-independent flash effects for the buttons. Currently, is mainly for iRacing purpose, but other game adaptions will follow soon.
Great review! The moment I did see the release on FB, I snap bought it. I was looking around for a while to buy something like this.. And although it took some time to get it.. (like 2,5months of waiting) It is more then worth to wait for it. It is a well crafted steering wheel. And indeed.. to set it up in SimHub it took me a bit.. and it should be great of they have their release the software for it. But non of the less, A very happy customer here ^^ Great review, and it is exactly how you describe it.
Just a wake-up call for all the manufacurers asking insane prices for racing hardware.. of course, noone will read, but: the Quest 3 is 500$. Let's assume Meta sell it at no profit or even at loss, and they try to make money from the accessories. So let's say the Quest 3 value is 800$. How the hell can this wheel value be of 3 times more expensive? It's not by far as much technology in it. How can any other wheel be more expensive than 500$? How can some pedals cost more than 300$? The prices are insane, noone should buy.. just so they lower the prices. Okay, a hobby is a hobby, but WTF?
I have been looking for this wheel and could not find one, I like the ribbed aluminum shifter paddles, they are like the Megaline shifters on my Phoenix Class 1 DTM wheel. The Phoenix is the best wheel I have owned in terms of ergonomic and I just hope it would feel and handle the same.
The manufacurer doesn't understand that 99% of sim gamers aren't so rich, and they cannot afford this wheel, and the rich people don't have time to play sim racing games or they don't like them, they better drive their real Porsche, so for who the hell is this wheel for? It should be max 500$/€
@@grid.engineering how much does the Porsche name add to the cost? The price seems really high as it's something you won't sell very many of, which leads to a higher price
"If You Have $2500 to Throw At A Wheel THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND" There I fixed the title. I get that this is a Porsche officially branded wheel but like you could get an entire Simagic Alpha U direct drive (23 nM) AND the FX Pro wheel with the display (Which now has the Porsche dash on the software as of yesterday) and STILL have $800 leftover. I'm sorry but these companies need to stop over pricing wheels and direct drive bases if companies like Simagic and Moza and Asetek are going to continue to offer every single item (direct drives, wheels, and pedals) and literally half the price, proving that the market is just overpriced with companies trying to make as much profit off of customers as possible. It's not right, and things need to change in the sim racing world, and I'm super happy the 3 companies I listed above are trying to be the change we desperately need in the market as consumers.
I ordered one of these a couple of weeks back, and have a GSI FPE. I didn't think I'd like the grips on the FPE as much as I do, but I hate the dials and the fact that they're not backlit. Anyways, looking forward to getting my hands on this, then to play exclusively in VR so I can forget why I even bought it.
If it is used as a steering wheel for a simulated racing car, it is a pity that there is no 7-way rod designed. The 7-way rod is too important for a simulated car. It's a pity.
Let's just keep building and pricing for things until just like real life the only thing you'll do sim racing is turn a large pile of money into a small pile of money.
I own « too many » wheels and fortunate to be able to by them… this wheel is an absolute gem and my advice is that if you can afford is… GET IT!!! It has saved me money from not buying more wheels since I use this one😂 Just love it😍
G'day Will, Happy New Year. Studio looks good. This might be a stupid question???? Can you run non Fanatec wheels such as this on a DD1/DD2 not discounting the quick release?? Cheers, Paul
Many, many thanks for this review, Wil. After i saw your review on the Porche 10" dash i decided to buy one , OMG its amazing quality and very happy with my purchase. Now after seeing this review , ill deffo be getting one of these wheels later :) Awesome vid mate, Keep up the great work :)
Does anyone who has this wheel miss having a funky switch? I currently have a PSE LMX but I'm interested in this for the sweet branding and crazy RGB LEDs.
i cannot afford this wheel, but i managed to get a V-RSPG wheel on Ebay for 650. I was the only person to bid, and I love it except i can't change the button LED colors sadly. This is a level above mine and its crazy to look at the differences.
I had the VPG wheel as well but sent it back in the end. Loved it! Only down sides are like you said the buttons are all red and can’t be changed but the biggie for me was the screen (nexion I think) where you can’t use Simhub only the premade dashboards for that specific screen and mine had tinted glass over the screen making it too dark. Otherwise LOVED it! Thankfully the GRID version solves all my issues.

Just to add a couple points we have been asked about from the video.
- Rocker paddle uses hall sensors.
- Allan keys will be included, they had not arrived prior to sending Will his wheel.
- Power injection boxes with switches are in production and will be included in the very near future.
- We will also look into including tweezers for decal application.
Thank you to the team at Boosted Media for the incredibly detailed review 👏👍
Thanks for the clarification. :)
Awesome work. You make me sad to be poor :D
Thanks for chiming in here, great to see. Is there an unbranded version of this wheel planned for the future?
well... I just pre-ordered mine today... let´s see if the power switch will make it...
@@nicolazanetti PLEEEEEEEASE let us know how it goes when you get used to it :)
I have this steering wheel. The worst thing that I bought for money from simracing devices.
1. Mounting bolts are made of super soft metal and just first there was a backlash, and then an impossible knock. I had to disassemble the device and change them.
2. Front encoders are attached with adhesive. And from the moment of purchase, they constantly fall into the inside, and as a result, these twisters were not usable. Because they just got stuck in intermediate positions.
3. For the 5th lap after the purchase, the upshift paddle mount just fell off.
4. And the most irreparable is the soft grips at the bottom. They just constantly bend, which creates an unpleasant feeling and unnecessary backlash when driving.

How about this wheel without the Porsche logo for $1200 instead of $2200
Great review but do sim manufacturer now just add a 1000$ to their new product price for each year that passes?
This is getting insane…
Correct me if m wrong. But this looks exactly like the Precision Sim Engineering LM-X w/o the Porsche badge.
They were bought by Grid
@@andrewmissimer9053 i don't understand, Have they bought PSE?

when Fanatec released their BMW GT3 racing wheel for $2500AUD I said I would never spend that much money on a rim...
This one I could justify
The pricing is just beyond ridiculous, you can buy a whole rig for 2200USD
Nice wheel! Can you do hyper realistic racing with 911 rsr in ams2 please?
Yep. Planning on it :)
My favourite car in all my sims is the 911 RSR, and this wheel is gorgeous, but I can't justify spending that much for a wheel alone! Ouch! 😕
when does the engine and the motor arrive? over $3000 ouch
I couldn’t decide between the Gsi or the Cube Controls wheels both had issues for me , so I have just ordered the Grid MPX.
Thank you Neil!

Great review!! Im sure its worth the amount, but there are cheaper ones out there. VPG offers one of them, and they also are great quality.

This wheel is such a beauty, definitely one of my top 3 now! Loved the vid, thank you!
Studio looks amazing in the background
If I had this wheel I’d be too distracted by its beautiful lights to drive properly
I got a fancy wheel recently, not as nice as this but can confirm that's a problem.

I stopped watching the video after price revealed. I will never be able to afford a Porsche, neither a replica steeringwheel. 🤣
Hey guys Will here
Dang so expensive
One pair of surgical gloves is a lifetime worth of shifter dampers
Remove the Porsche logo and name and save $1000.00
Great review, thanks for that.

How the hell can this wheel value be of 3 times more expensive? It's not by far as much technology in it. How can any other wheel be more expensive than 500$? How can some pedals cost more than 300$? The prices are insane, noone should buy.. just so they lower the prices. Okay, a hobby is a hobby, but WTF?

look at Precision Sim Engineering wheel 4K wheel 🙂

I have been looking for this wheel and could not find one, I like the ribbed aluminum shifter paddles, they are like the Megaline shifters on my Phoenix Class 1 DTM wheel. The Phoenix is the best wheel I have owned in terms of ergonomic and I just hope it would feel and handle the same.
The manufacurer doesn't understand that 99% of sim gamers aren't so rich, and they cannot afford this wheel, and the rich people don't have time to play sim racing games or they don't like them, they better drive their real Porsche, so for who the hell is this wheel for? It should be max 500$/€
Awesome review. I’m waiting for my Grid MPX wheel. So excited as it uses same components as this one but around half the cost
Thanks Ben!
Its cool but GSI Hyper P1 is GOATED
Does this work with Fanatec? Especially the new connector?
This vs the VPG V-RSPG Pro, which one should I get?
licensecost is probably half of the wheel cost lol. The display does not add much to the price anyway.
"Dirt, and Debris, and Dead Skin Cells". Ahh yes there it is.
Mine has already came with the power button on the box and the allen keys.!
I wonder how many can they sell. I mean.. This rim is muchmore expensive then a dd1 bundle. That is a niche within a niche.
They’re laughing all the way to the bank. I expected for the price for it to be a higher quality
I have this wheel. It's worth EVERY penny.
@@andrewmissimer9053 happy you enjoy it
How can we improve it?
@@grid.engineering how much does the Porsche name add to the cost? The price seems really high as it's something you won't sell very many of, which leads to a higher price
I wanted to get one after this review, but they are all sold out.
Blow your mind and your bank account. Lol!
Great review.
I ordered my wheel, should get here soon.
Thanks Flavio!
Looks amazing even if it is insanely expensive
hello i am here from tiktok
A $3000+ Sim wheel with NO funky switch? No thanks
Are you kidding - funky switches are cheap arse, unreliable pieces of junk.
@@slaphead90 Also incredibly useful for simracing...
@@slaphead90 yep i totally agree, i never use them on any of my wheels
How do you navigate menus?

Its a replica
"If You Have $2500 to Throw At A Wheel THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND"
There I fixed the title. I get that this is a Porsche officially branded wheel but like you could get an entire Simagic Alpha U direct drive (23 nM) AND the FX Pro wheel with the display (Which now has the Porsche dash on the software as of yesterday) and STILL have $800 leftover. I'm sorry but these companies need to stop over pricing wheels and direct drive bases if companies like Simagic and Moza and Asetek are going to continue to offer every single item (direct drives, wheels, and pedals) and literally half the price, proving that the market is just overpriced with companies trying to make as much profit off of customers as possible. It's not right, and things need to change in the sim racing world, and I'm super happy the 3 companies I listed above are trying to be the change we desperately need in the market as consumers.
Kinda why I like drifting.
Just slap a 25usd normal wheel on an adaptor hub.
N bammmm.
What software do you use mostly for your drifting?
I ordered one of these a couple of weeks back, and have a GSI FPE. I didn't think I'd like the grips on the FPE as much as I do, but I hate the dials and the fact that they're not backlit. Anyways, looking forward to getting my hands on this, then to play exclusively in VR so I can forget why I even bought it.
If it is used as a steering wheel for a simulated racing car, it is a pity that there is no 7-way rod designed. The 7-way rod is too important for a simulated car. It's a pity.
Let's just keep building and pricing for things until just like real life the only thing you'll do sim racing is turn a large pile of money into a small pile of money.
New man cave looks good as a back drop for this type of video
Hi Will, what's the size, width of this steering wheel???
Ahuh yeah ow...ahuh ahuh 😊 yeah that sounds great ahuh...wait what!!! How much!?! Damn....😖
Hey, great vid mate. Seeing as you are an ex-racer (as in a real physical ?) are you able to comment on how this compares with the "real" thing 🤔🤔
Imagine playing American truck simulator using this thing
No included plastic tweezers for stickers? That's a deal breaker for me, I will stick to my T148🧐
I own « too many » wheels and fortunate to be able to by them… this wheel is an absolute gem and my advice is that if you can afford is… GET IT!!! It has saved me money from not buying more wheels since I use this one😂 Just love it😍
The product photos on their site are horrible. How they wanna sell anything with those pictures?
For the price of it, it had better blow more than my mind.
It would be nice, if they made a wheel with screen and without the Porsche designation, which adds to the cost
Great review! Beautiful wheel, but too expensive for my SIM racing hobby.
G'day Will, Happy New Year. Studio looks good. This might be a stupid question???? Can you run non Fanatec wheels such as this on a DD1/DD2 not discounting the quick release?? Cheers, Paul
Many, many thanks for this review, Wil. After i saw your review on the Porche 10" dash i decided to buy one , OMG its amazing quality and very happy with my purchase.
Now after seeing this review , ill deffo be getting one of these wheels later :)
Awesome vid mate, Keep up the great work :)
its a very nice wheel but for the price of an entire entry/mid level rig (at least by my definition) i don't know who could justify this.
If I purchased this wheel that costs as much as a house deposit, my wife would kick me to the couch for the rest of my life 😂
Brilliant Will thankyou love the Porsche wheel seen a few diy versions of this 👍👍👍
Lol I am checking out as soon as you told me the price, cya.
Things insane
WOW NICE WHEEL! *puts on vr helmet*
Will you gotta start selling those Boosted Media driving gloves in the shop! I want a pair so bad!
Does anyone who has this wheel miss having a funky switch? I currently have a PSE LMX but I'm interested in this for the sweet branding and crazy RGB LEDs.
I got my Grid P911 3 months ago. I don’t need any funky switch. I just want a wheel same as real Porsche wheel.
hi Will
Great to see they followed your suggestions!!
I’ll be in the market for this wheel when Boosted has a 75% off affiliate link.
i cannot afford this wheel, but i managed to get a V-RSPG wheel on Ebay for 650. I was the only person to bid, and I love it except i can't change the button LED colors sadly. This is a level above mine and its crazy to look at the differences.
I had the VPG wheel as well but sent it back in the end. Loved it! Only down sides are like you said the buttons are all red and can’t be changed but the biggie for me was the screen (nexion I think) where you can’t use Simhub only the premade dashboards for that specific screen and mine had tinted glass over the screen making it too dark. Otherwise LOVED it! Thankfully the GRID version solves all my issues.
I own this wheel and its fantastic!!!
