Introducing the official Direct Drive Wheel Base 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

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.

 

Maximum Strength

The Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base package includes the Boost Kit 180, a powerful 180W power supply that unlocks the full performance of the direct drive motor.

8NM Peak Torque

Using the included Boost Kit 180, the Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base operates in its 8 Nm mode. This provides much stronger feedback, and as a result, you’ll feel the subtle cues more clearly too.

Small Size. Huge Performance

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.

 

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.

Advanced Filters

Enjoy balanced force feedback with the Standard Tuning Menu without worrying about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu unlocks all the filters, so you can fine-tune the strength, smoothness, and mechanical feel of the force feedback, even while driving.

Efficient & Responsive

Our patented FluxBarrier technology means incredible 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.
