Manufactured in the same facility as the genuine Porsche 911 Cup steering wheel, it delivers the quality, precision and durability expected from a premium motorsport product.

At SimRacer UK, we supply genuine VPG products with fast UK delivery, manufacturer warranty support and expert technical advice. Whether you’re upgrading an existing simulator or building a complete GT racing cockpit, our team can help you select the ideal wheelbase, quick release and accessories to match your new steering wheel.

Officially Licensed Porsche Performance

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel is far more than a steering wheel inspired by Porsche. It is an officially licensed Porsche product, developed in collaboration with Porsche to bring the look, feel and functionality of the latest Porsche 911 Cup (992.2) race car directly into the world of sim racing.

Rather than adapting an existing steering wheel design, VPG engineered this model specifically for virtual racing while maintaining the same motorsport philosophy used in the development of the real competition wheel. Every button, rotary switch, paddle and grip has been positioned to provide intuitive operation during competitive driving, allowing racers to make critical adjustments without losing focus on the circuit ahead.

The result is a steering wheel that captures the character of the Porsche Cup car while taking full advantage of the flexibility offered by modern sim racing software.

Born from Motorsport. Engineered for Sim Racing.

Unlike many premium sim racing steering wheels that simply replicate the appearance of a race car wheel, the VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been engineered specifically for simulator use.

Its electronics, firmware and control architecture have all been developed around the requirements of modern sim racing platforms, providing significantly more functionality than would be possible in the real race car. With 76 fully mappable inputs, advanced RGB lighting, SimHub integration and support for the VPG Sim Suite, the wheel offers extensive customisation while retaining an authentic Porsche Cup driving position.

This unique approach allows drivers to enjoy genuine Porsche motorsport ergonomics together with the flexibility needed for today’s leading simulations, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and rFactor 2.

Genuine Porsche Cup Carbon Fibre Construction

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel is manufactured using genuine Porsche Cup (992.2) motorsport-specification pre-preg carbon fibre, produced in the same facility as the steering wheel fitted to the real Porsche 911 Cup race car.

Pre-preg carbon fibre is widely used throughout professional motorsport because it delivers exceptional strength while remaining incredibly lightweight. Every component is manufactured using precise lay-up techniques and controlled curing processes to achieve maximum rigidity with minimal flex.

For sim racers, this offers several important advantages. A rigid steering wheel transfers force feedback more accurately, allowing subtle details from the wheelbase to reach your hands without unwanted flex absorbing valuable information. Every steering correction feels more immediate, while vibrations, kerb strikes and changes in tyre grip are communicated with greater clarity.

Beyond its performance benefits, the carbon fibre construction also gives the wheel a premium finish that reflects its motorsport origins. The combination of genuine Porsche Cup materials, precision manufacturing and meticulous attention to detail results in a steering wheel that looks and feels every bit as professional as the race car component that inspired it.

Built for the Demands of Competitive GT Racing

Whether you’re competing in sprint races, endurance championships or professional driver training, consistency is everything.

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been engineered to deliver reliable performance over thousands of racing laps. Every material and component has been selected with durability in mind, ensuring the wheel maintains its precise feel even during the longest simulator sessions.

Its 309mm diameter closely matches the dimensions used in modern GT race cars, providing a familiar driving position for Porsche enthusiasts while remaining comfortable across a wide range of racing disciplines. Combined with its lightweight carbon fibre construction and professional ergonomics, the wheel inspires confidence whether you’re chasing qualifying laps or managing tyre wear during a multi-hour endurance race.

Lightweight Design. Lower Inertia. More Feel.

Weighing just 1,030g, the VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel is one of the lightest premium GT-style sim racing steering wheels available. This exceptionally low weight is more than simply an impressive specification—it has a direct impact on the way your direct drive wheelbase performs.

A lighter steering wheel creates lower rotational inertia, allowing the wheelbase motor to accelerate and decelerate the wheel more quickly. The result is sharper steering response, faster corrections and improved transmission of fine force feedback details.

Every change in grip, kerb strike and weight transfer is communicated with greater clarity, helping you react more quickly and drive with greater confidence. Whether you’re making rapid steering corrections through high-speed corners or feeling for the limit of tyre grip during a long endurance stint, the lightweight construction helps maximise the performance of your simulator.

For drivers investing in premium direct drive wheelbases from Simucube, Simagic, Asetek SimSports or other high-performance systems, reducing steering wheel inertia is one of the most effective ways to preserve every detail generated by the motor.

Professional Motorsport Controls

Modern GT racing demands constant adjustments while keeping both hands firmly on the wheel. The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been designed around this philosophy, providing an extensive range of controls that are positioned for intuitive operation during intense racing conditions.

The wheel offers an impressive 76 fully mappable inputs, allowing virtually every in-game function to be assigned directly to the steering wheel.

Premium motorsport components include:

• 10 APEM 650gf push buttons
• 4 Elma 12-position rotary switches
• 2 Otto P9 rear buttons
• 2 ALPS 7-way multifunction switches
• Magnetic paddle shifters

Every switch has been chosen for its tactile feedback, reliability and long operating life, giving drivers complete confidence that every input will register accurately when it matters most.

The four Elma rotary switches can also be configured as rotary encoders, providing additional flexibility for adjusting brake bias, traction control, ABS settings, differential maps, fuel strategy and countless other vehicle functions.

Ergonomics Designed Around the Driver

The layout of the VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been carefully developed to minimise unnecessary hand movement during racing.

The rotary thumb controls are positioned exactly where your thumbs naturally rest, allowing rapid adjustments without changing your grip on the wheel. Rear-mounted Otto P9 buttons provide quick access to secondary functions, while the ALPS multifunction switches make navigating menus, dashboards and pit strategy simple without interrupting your driving.

This ergonomic layout allows drivers to remain fully focused on the circuit while making adjustments that would otherwise require reaching for a keyboard or button box.

Whether you’re changing brake bias approaching a heavy braking zone, adjusting traction control as tyres wear or activating pit functions during an endurance race, every control is positioned for speed, precision and consistency.

Fully Customisable RGB Lighting

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel features one of the most advanced lighting systems available on a sim racing steering wheel.

A total of 88 individually addressable RGB LEDs provide extensive visual customisation, allowing the wheel to display important information exactly how you want it.

The lighting system includes:

• 4 RGB LEDs integrated into every push button
• 24 RGB LEDs surrounding each front rotary switch

Using SimHub or the VPG Sim Suite, drivers can configure the LEDs to display a wide range of information, including:

• Engine RPM
• Shift lights
• Pit limiter status
• Yellow, blue and red flag warnings
• Brake bias position
• Traction control settings
• ABS levels
• Fuel strategy
• Custom colour profiles
• Team branding

The result is a steering wheel that not only looks exceptional but also provides valuable visual feedback without distracting from the racing line.

VPG Sim Suite

The VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been developed alongside the new VPG Sim Suite, providing extensive configuration options beyond traditional button mapping.

Drivers can customise button assignments, lighting behaviour and wheel functions to suit individual racing styles and different simulation titles.

One of the standout features is VPG’s innovative firmware architecture, allowing configurable “Magic Button” functionality. This enables individual button functions to change depending on the position of the rotary switches, dramatically increasing the number of available commands without adding additional physical buttons.

Combined with the wheel’s 76 mappable inputs, this provides exceptional flexibility for drivers competing across multiple racing disciplines, from GT3 and endurance racing to prototype, touring car and single-seater championships.

Automotive-Grade Electronics

Every electronic component inside the VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel has been selected to automotive standards, ensuring dependable performance under the demanding conditions of competitive sim racing.

Rather than relying on consumer-grade switches and electronics, VPG has chosen premium components recognised throughout the motorsport industry for their precision and durability.

Each button delivers crisp tactile feedback, every rotary switch provides positive indexed movement and the multifunction switches offer smooth, accurate operation. Together they create a steering wheel that feels reassuringly solid and consistent, even after thousands of race starts, gear changes and setup adjustments.

This focus on quality ensures every command is registered accurately, lap after lap, allowing drivers to concentrate entirely on racing rather than questioning their equipment.

Magnetic Paddle Shifters

Fast, precise gear changes are essential in modern sim racing, and the VPG Porsche 911 Cup Steering Wheel is equipped with premium magnetic paddle shifters to deliver exactly that.

The magnetic mechanism produces a crisp, positive engagement with a satisfying mechanical feel that closely resembles professional motorsport equipment.
