CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT – Not only for GT7

Last updated:

The CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT may have been designed with Gran Turismo 7 in mind, but it’s far from limited to that single title. We developed this wheel to offer a premium, immersive driving experience, especially for players who value precision, advanced input control, and seamless integration with modern racing simulators. While it provides out-of-the-box compatibility and native mapping with Gran Turismo 7, it is also fully functional with a variety of other racing games across PlayStation and PC—as long as it’s used with a compatible Fanatec wheel base.

Inspired by Porsche’s Vision Gran Turismo

The Porsche Vision Gran Turismo was the first Porsche concept car study designed exclusively for a game. Freed from the constraints of production regulations, the designers pushed the boundaries of creativity. The wheel takes familiar cues from modern Porsche design and adds more dynamic proportions. As a replica of the in-game Steering Wheel, it remains a highly versatile and attractive choice.

Compatibility beyond Gran Turismo

In Gran Turismo 7, the wheel shines with automatic control mapping. Features like traction control, brake balance, fuel mixture, and torque distribution can be adjusted in real time using the wheel’s rotary encoders and multifunction switch. This plug-and-play functionality offers convenience and precision that’s hard to beat in the Gran Turismo environment. However, this specialization does not mean it’s locked to GT7. The hardware is fully compatible with racing titles like, iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, Assetto Corsa Competizione, or F1 25, among others. Some titles may require manual button remapping, but the core functionality remains accessible and responsive.

To use the CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT wheel outside of Gran Turismo, you’ll need a Fanatec wheel base that supports it—such as the GT DD Pro, CSL DD, or ClubSport DD+. If you're playing on a PlayStation console, the base must be PlayStation-licensed, since the console compatibility comes from the base, not the steering wheel itself. This means that while the Porsche Vision GT wheel is platform-agnostic in design, its functionality depends on the base you pair it with.

In summary, the CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT is not exclusive to Gran Turismo 7. It performs exceptionally well in that environment but also serves as a fully capable steering wheel for a broad range of sim racing titles—provided you have the right wheel base and game support.
