Fanatec Turbo S - BETA Wheel Preview

[Wheel Nut]

Welcome Again To Another GTF
Special Preview

Yes once again we have got a bit of a scoop here at GTF
Enjoy this preview of the latest and most highly anticipated steering wheel we can ever remember.
I am currently working alongside two other "Beta Testers" and hope to bring this thread an update with information on not just my own opinions on this product but also theirs. This will give you guys in the community a more balanced view.

This is the pinnacle wheel from the Fanatec series of wheels but it is also the first wheel ever to support:
PC - PS3 - Xbox 360

Additionally it was announced in June 2009 to become the approved "Turn 10" steering wheel for Forza Motorsport 3 and was co developed alongside the game.

Before beginning I would again like to thank Fanatec and Thomas in particular in sending us one of these very few "beta samples" of this fantastic wheel. Without their support this could not of happened.

Not only can you enjoy this preview but you can
Enter to WIN one of these great wheels and also some other great prizes in the GTF exclusive:

Here are a few pics of the packaging . hope you don't mind wheel nut. There is actually even another box in between those 2 boxes, that looks just like the other brown box. I really don't see how anything could happen during shipping to these wheels, unless someone was trying to ruin them on purpose.

* MODERATOR NOTE
This is the "Original Turbo Wheel Packaging"
We have not seen the official Packaging of the Turbo S wheel yet.
