La tedesca Fanatec ha pubblicato sul suo blog ufficiale i primi dettagli riguardanti il nuovo cambio a leva attualmente in fase di sviluppo, particolarmente interessante soprattutto per il prezzo, che dovrebbe attestarsi intorno ai 100 Euro. Sempre la Fanatec ha annunciato lo sviluppo anche di un nuovo freno a mano, chiedendo feedback in proposito da parte degli utenti.
Material: Full aluminium with some steel parts
Mounting options: There will be screw inserts on the bottom. We will make an adapter for the Clubsport table clamp and the RennSport Wheel Stand.
Amount of gears: 7+1
Sequential option: We will implement it but only if this is not a compromise. We have a solution which could work very well in both modes
Haptic feeling: Very similar like in a real car. Perhaps we can even make the resistance adjustable.
Acoustic: A solid "clonck" instead of a "clack" but very silent
Colour/design: Silver as CSP. The shifter will be gated like in a Ferrari or Lamborghini
Style of gear knob: It will be exchangeable so upgrades are possible (leather, carbon, etc). The standard version will be an polished aluminum ball.
Size: We will try to keep the size of the PW shifter but it will probably become a bit higher
Compatibility: It will be backwards compatible to the Porsche wheel shifter and therefore compatible to all platforms. An USB adapter will be available optional to make it work with other wheels on PC.
