Every year, Thomas of Fanatec brings us a new toy to show off, or play with.. Check out this new Forza Motorsports 4 Elite wheel.. It will debut at E3 today as well as their new CSR wheel (pictures and vid of that later as well as an interview with Thomas).

Definitely there will be another wheel!

We have already seen the wheel, It´s that Audi branded wheel. I´m so pissed it would be so nice if it was a Porsche branded wheel.

The CSR wheel is not the audi branded wheel. The audi wheel had a different one off audi rim but a base from the new forza motorsports elite wheel. if you look at the base of the new forza wheel and the one off audi wheel you will see they are they same. Last week Thomas said the audi wheel was made just for that conference but the base is from a then unannounced production wheel.
 
I like the inclusion of the Analogue stick, FM2/3 had that issue you couldnt fully use the Market Place with a wheel like in rotating the cars for viewing the way you could on a pad.

Also an Analogue stick should be good for other games that dont support headtracking but will make looking around easier.

So the wheel shown earlier ref Cliffy B must either be the CRS or that this FM4 one shown at ISR is only an early beta model and the Cliffy B one is a retail design of it.

Ok now I get it. Thanks.
 
I think that is just for heat dispersion on the motor.

However I see 2x Motors not a single Mabauchi 550

My guess is a seperate motor for Left/Right wheel rotation.

Actually since this in the Forza model it would have 3 motors. 1 for force feedback and 2 for effects like rumble, engine revs, tire scrubbing etc. Just like the Porsche 911 Turbo S and GTS and MS Wheel. Adds SO much more to the immersion factor than the standard one-motor-does-all method typically used on other Consoles.

Like Sonac said this could be that mysterious "CSR wheel"...

God forbid. I'd like one that whose base was the same that the Audi one...

Current Fanatec wheels have multiple motors yes but they used as far as Im aware only 1x Main motor for wheel resistance. Look at pics of wheel internals and the PWTS certainly only had 1x Mabauchi 550 motor.

This clearly looks like two, so please someone is welcome to prove this right or wrong.
 
That does look like a new golf club in its plastic. Def not a CSHB. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You can tell at the end where that white line is, that is it a golf club. I am a big golfer as well.
 
Guess whats in the bag game , i am normally good at these :sly:

Could it be spare parts just in case something got missed on the qc . :):)

But seriously

Could it be half of the new xbox double dildo controller and hes just about to get that party started (just waiting for jessica to turn up) :lol::lol:

or

He snapped the said xbox controller on the flight over and scouped the bits into a Vaseline covered bag .

Or

looks like a 5 wood
 
Does anyone know when Thomas is going to present. I'm hoping at the Forza 4 conference.
 
Well, then I think I went right with the GT3 (still awaiting for support). If in a future they decide to make it with other rims (licensed and not so...) I will probably (surely) go for it...

I pin my faith on the CSS.
 
Just found two new photos of the lower-end wheel on Twitter and posted them on fansite: LINK

EDIT: Clubsport handbrake!!! ceth was right.
