The device is licensed by Mercedes. The famous pilot Lewis Hamilton races with almost the same.
Sim-Lab, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, presented a gaming steering wheel that is as similar as possible to the steering wheel of Lewis Hamilton, a Formula 1 racer for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. The device was developed under license using proprietary drawings. The body of the device is made by hand from carbon fiber, due to which the weight is only 1,240 kg.
The cost of the gadget is an impressive $2499. However, that's not all: for it to function, you will need to purchase a wheelbase that provides force feedback and converts steering movements into game commands. You will have to pay several thousand dollars more for the wheelbase, so only fairly wealthy players will be able to afford the entire system. Deliveries of the device will begin in August.
