Fanatec Steering Wheels for GT Racing

The world of GT cars is undoubtedly one of the most popular categories among sim racers. Entire racing simulation platforms are built completely around closed-wheel competition, simulating GT cars and prototype. Titles like Le Mans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa Competizione are prime examples. These platforms offer highly realistic GT experiences, particularly in the GT3 class, where tight races are more than frequent

To get the most out of GT cars in sim racing, especially GT3 cars, a high-quality steering wheel with a diameter between 300 mm and 320 mm is highly recommended. This size offers optimal control over lateral weight transfer, which is essential for maintaining speed and extracting fast lap times.

Here’s a look at the best Fanatec steering wheels tailored specifically for G/prototypes:

This wheel is as real as it gets. It's literally the same model used in the actual BMW M4 GT3 race car. The only difference is the internal electronics, optimized for sim racing. Everything else (the structure, buttons, paddles) is identical to the real-world counterpart. It’s an unbeatable choice for realism seekers.

Developed in collaboration with Bentley Motors Limited, this wheel was designed for the Continental GT3 Pikes Peak car. Built to tackle the world’s most dangerous hill climb, it blends elite performance with iconic Bentley aesthetics. The 310 mm diameter wheel features a 3.4” round display, magnesium core, a 5 mm-thick green carbon fiber faceplate and premium Alcantara® grips. A piece of functional art with extreme capabilities.

The GT3 Endurance model offers a perfect balance between realism and modular functionality. With a 318 mm diameter and overmolded rubber grips, it provides excellent comfort for long endurance stints (exactly what you need to maintain focus during long races). It is combined with the Podium Button Module Endurance, Advanced Paddle Module, and Podium Hub, this steering wheel can be considered one of the most versatile and high-quality GT wheels on the market.

The official Porsche Vision Gran Turismo concept car wheel. Porsche Vision Gran Turismo was the first Porsche concept car study designed exclusively for a game. The steering wheel takes familiar cues from modern Porsche design and adds more dynamic proportions. The wheel has been carefully optimized for sim racing, with its comfortable 310 mm diameter, practical button layout, and tactile paddles and rotaries.

A fan-favorite and one of Fanatec’s best sellers, this wheel is officially licensed by McLaren Automotive. It’s a full-size replica based on real McLaren GT3 CAD data, including the shape and placement of all switches and paddles. The McLaren GT3 V2 also brings added value through Xbox compatibility: once mounted on a Fanatec wheel base with pedal kit connected to it, the entire ecosystem becomes functional with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Whether you're looking for ultimate realism or the best performance-to-price ratio, Fanatec offers top-tier options for every GT sim racer. Choose a wheel that fits your style and platform to unlock the full potential of GT3 racing.
