This article covers FANATEC シム レーシング グランツーリスモ DD Pro.
Overview
The FANATEC Gran Turismo DD Pro is an officially licensed direct drive racing wheel system for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. It delivers a peak torque of 5Nm out of the box, with the option to upgrade to 8Nm using the separately sold Boost Kit 180. The wheel base features patented FluxBarrier technology, developed in Germany specifically for sim racing, providing linear and consistent force feedback. The included steering wheel, designed by Polyphony Digital, measures 280mm in diameter and incorporates an OLED display, a RevLED strip, and four 5-way joysticks for quick adjustments to traction control, brake balance, torque split, and fuel mapping in Gran Turismo 7. The package also includes a CSL pedal set (2 pedals) and a table clamp, allowing immediate setup.
Connectivity & Compatibility

The wheel base and steering wheel connect via the QR2 Lite quick-release system with USB-C interface, making attachment and detachment effortless. Pedals connect to the base via an RJ12 cable. For PC use, a USB Type-C to Type-A cable is included. The product ships with a table clamp and T-nuts for rail-mount systems, offering flexible mounting options. Note that the Boost Kit 180 (sold separately) requires an additional power adapter.

Best Use Cases
- Gran Turismo 7 enthusiasts on PS5/PS4: Official licensing means full integration with GT7's controls; the on-wheel joysticks allow real-time adjustments for traction, brake balance, and fuel mapping, enhancing immersion. - Multi-platform sim racers (PC & console): Works on PC as well, so it's suitable for titles like Assetto Corsa Competizione and iRacing. The Fanatec ecosystem also allows future upgrades to other wheels or pedals. - Those wanting an affordable direct drive experience: The 5Nm torque is a significant step up from gear- or belt-driven wheels. The Boost Kit provides an affordable path to higher torque later.
