Fanatec CSR Elite force feedback racing wheel works with Xbox, PS3, and PC

Fanatec has been around for years now and the company makes some awesome racing wheels and pedals for gamers. The thing that I have long wanted for my Xbox 360 and the Forza Motorsports racing games is a steering wheel with force feedback. This has kept me using Gran Turismo and my Logitech G27 racing wheel.


Fanatec has a new and very awesome racing wheel that I really want for Forza 4 when it lands. The wheel is called the CSR Elite and it will work on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The racing wheel is officially licensed by Microsoft and Turn 10 with the Forza logo right in the center of the racing wheel. The wheel doesn’t come with pedals, but if you own a Logitech G25 or G27 there is an adapter that will allow the use of those pedals and you can buy accessory pedals from Fanatec.
A pair of 120W motors handles the force feedback effects and there are two more vibration motors in the rim of the wheel. The center of the racing wheel is real carbon fiber and the wheel is actually trimmed in Alcantra for better grip. The wheel has paddle shifters, large fans that are silent for cooling the motors, and tuning functions to set the wheel to your liking. The Forza Motorsport CSR Elite Wheel isn’t available yet and pricing is known. This will be an expensive racing wheel; I suspect it will be in the $250 to $300 range. It is wireless with the Xbox 360 and needs a USB cable for the PC and PS3.

Mike send me a few days ago these great pics of his last job he did on his GS 1100.

Four months and countless cases of beer later.A GS is reborn. Cheers

The Suzuki GS series is a line of motorcycles featuring air-cooled parallel-twin and Inline four engines with two or four valves per cylinder. The GS-range of models are considered to be examples of Universal Japanese motorcycles. The range of motorcycles in the series had engine displacements between 125 cc and 1100 cc, and include the GS400 and GS500. The GS series also include the original Katana series, although the 1100 had 16 valves, thus being a GSX. It was however still designated as a GS on some markets.

BMW concept cars BMW cars gallery

the BMW Concept Gran Coupé carries the essence of brand values and the genes of BMW design into the future. The concept shows the classic features of all BMW coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the set-back greenhouse, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang reflect the dynamic potential of the vehicle.
The shaping style, which follows a coherent pattern down to the last detail, convincingly visualises BMW's philosophy as an automobile manufacturer. As with theConcept CS 2007, BMW once again sets new benchmarks in the design of 4-door coupes with a distinctive sporty character
The design of the concept study underscores the expertise of the brand BMW in the development of vehicles with a distinctive sporty character which offer space for more than two occupants. This reflects the particular quality of the BMW Group design philosophy, which consists in precisely and authentically translating the specific values of product substance into an aesthetically convincing shaping style.
BMW Concept Gran Coupé expresses sporty flair in its ultimate form. The 4-door vehicle clearly signals the very highest level of dynamic performance with its extremely elegant, flat and coupe-like proportions.
The kidney grille of the BMW Concept Gran Coupé has a flat appearance, with an asymmetrical side view which emphasises the close attention to detail. The central section with the kidney grille is formally separated from other BMW icons such as the headlights and air inlets.
The air inlet runs back an extremely long way into the side section, making the front section appear particularly wide.
BMW Concept Gran Coupé up to 100 millimetres flatter than the BMW 5 Series or the BMW 7 Series Sedan. The roof line tapers off gently into the rear, thereby elongating the vehicle's proportions. The forward-tilted shark nose visually extends the bonnet and creates characteristic BMW proportions with its forward-pointing dynamism. This stretched character is also highlighted by the side lines, where there is a deliberate avoidance of the typical sill line.
The frameless doors give the BMW Concept Gran Coupé a modern character since the glass surfaces appear to merge seamlessly without being interrupted by columns.
BMW Concept Gran Coupé permits a unique interaction between concave and convex surfaces. It also enables the light to be selectively reflected and channelled. Thus the exterior mirrors integrated in the window shaft appear very light, blending harmoniously into the side view since their shape assimilates the entire line styling. The BMW Concept Gran Coupéis a further development of the classic design of a notchback sedan in which the individual body sections merge harmoniously into a flat, elongated and at the same time dynamic overall image. The effect of this 4-door vehicle derives not just from specific highlights but from its overall appearance, which authentically reflects its character.
