What do you get for the vid-addicted fan of that arse-engined sports car that rhymes with Smorche? It's the Porsche 911 Turbo S steering-wheel controller, a fully licensed, to-spec reproduction of the leather-clad rudder that keeps new 911s on course. The force-feedback wheel is compatible with PCs and PS3s, and comes with sequential-action gear stick and wireless pedals, featuring a declining-resistance clutch and pressure-sensitive brake. It'll be available later this year at a price of $350. A special "Nordschliefe" edition will come with a USB memory stick in the shape of a Porsche key fob. Ich bin ein cyberbruce!
