Gran Turismo DD PRO Fanatec Direct Drive Wheel PlayStation 5

Ok now this is great news for the Playstation 5 community, Fanatec has unveiled the Gran Turismo DD PRO direct drive wheel.

Head CEO for Fanatec Thomas Jackermeier hosts a video that unveils the new Gran Turismo DD PRO direct drive wheel for the Playstation 5.

With deals starting at 699.95 $/you may want to form an orderly queue asap as we do not want to see the shock and horror of people waiting for new products, only to find out stock is out minutes after release.

The design of the wheel is, how shall i put it, not quite up to a standard i believe to be branded as great quality and asthetics. Whilst this is my own opinion, it is not something i feel that reaches out and says “buy this wheel”. You may as well just slap a micro keyboard or gamepad in the center and be done with it.
