Draw Details
Introducing the official Direct Drive Wheel for Gran Turismo®. Combining PlayStation®5 console performance with FANATEC® Direct Drive technology for the smoothest and most dynamic force feedback sensations.
Precision Force Feedback Now With QR2
Built for serious sim racers, the Gran Turismo® DD Pro continues to set the standard for Direct Drive performance on PS5®, PS4®, and PC. Now preinstalled with the QR2 quick release system, it delivers a tighter connection to the wheel for even more detailed force feedback.
Once You Feel It There’s No Going Back
When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. Direct Drive is the clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiast sim racers, and it’s now available to a broader audience.
Torque To The Hands
The 100% custom motor was developed in Germany specifically for sim racing. It delivers sensational performance thanks to patented FluxBarrier technology, communicating the nuances of force feedback detail to your hands with remarkable clarity.
Incredible Performance
The efficiency of the Gran Turismo DD Pro motor technology means dynamic force-feedback performance is contained in a small footprint. Low rotational mass of the internal components, including a carbon fibre-reinforced steering axis, results in optimal responsiveness and acceleration.
Up To 8NM Of Torque
Standard peak torque is 5 Nm, with the Boost Kit 180 (sold separately) unlocking the full 8 Nm. This high level of torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminium casing acting as the structural chassis as well as the heatsink.
Steering Wheel Designed By Polyphony Digital Especially For Gran Turismo
The steering wheel for Gran Turismo DD Pro provides the perfect interface between you and the game. Full Fanatec SDK support ensures compatibility out of the box for all major racing games.
Designed For Gran Turismo
The white OLED display and diffused RevLED strip offers useful visual information while driving and operating the Fanatec Tuning Menu. A unique array of four 5-way directional sticks sit alongside the familiar PlayStation® inputs.
Compact & Responsive
Built for comfort and response, the 280 mm diameter and round shape is suitable for the wide variety of vehicles available in Gran Turismo. The tactile rubber grip and ergonomic paddle shifters mean you’ll always feel in control.
Strong, High-Precision, Two-Pedal Set
This isn’t your typical bundled pedal set. The pedals for Gran Turismo DD Pro are solidly built from steel, with precise and durable Hall sensors that allow you to stay in control with smooth throttle and brake inputs. Upgrade to a load cell brake (sold separately) and gain extra confidence to improve your lap times.
Heavy Steel Construction, Magnetic Sensors
The all-metal design is built to last, and both the throttle and brake axes use contactless Hall sensors for precision and durability. The stiffer spring on the brake pedal combined with the PU foam damper provides a progressive feeling and more realism.
Adjustable & Upgradeable
Upgrade the pedals with Tuning Kit, Clutch Kit, or Load Cell Kit (upgrade kits sold separately). The Tuning Kit adds metal pedal faces, and the Clutch Kit adds a third pedal at the lowest possible price. The Load Cell Kit is an alternative to the Clutch Kit, also providing a third pedal, while upgrading the brake and main electronics.
