Could be, or not.
:P
The new Wheel is not on the Porsche Wheel Line.
Fanatec has released Porsche Wheels while EA had the license.
The new Wheels and pedals belong to a new line, called the CSR
Its intermediate
Porsche wheel < CSR < Clubsport
the CSR Elite will have a new engine, some say its better than FREXX and eliminates all mechanical feelings and its the best blabla,
and it might boost itself into 700$, not sure if that includes CSR pedals or Elite CSR Pedals
CSR pedals are like reduced clubsports and withOUT magnetic contactless for clutch and throttle, but still a load cell brake.
not sure if that is the CSR elite pedals or CSR Pedals or whats the difference between them.
CSR pedals dont need any modding and switching to invert.
the CSR wheel (not elite) has same motor as the GT2.
And if i remember correctly, the CSR shifter is a modified normal shifter and there is also a clubsport shifter in dev and a clubsport handbrake, which will both be epic.
And also, if im not wrong again, a clubsport wheel is being developed, not sure if its F1 style or how it is though.
I doubt its because EA holds the license for porsche in videogames that fanatec cant make new porsche wheels.
I mean, EA only holds its license for video game production, right? xD
