Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Alongside the officially licensed Porsche GT3 RS Steering Wheel, Moza Racing, present at Gamescom 2026 (Hall 10.1, Booth A022), revealed two officially licensed Mercedes-Benz steering wheels to mark the brand’s 140th anniversary.
Mercedes-Benz VISION ONE-ELEVEN Steering Wheel
Starting with a futuristic wheel rim inspired by the steering unit from the Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven concept car, this flagship D-shaped sim racing wheel features design elements and a five-display layout, combining a futuristic design language with advanced functionality for sim racing.
The faceplate of the rim is crafted from 3K twill carbon fiber using a hot-press molding process, while the backplate and internal wheel frame are constructed from high-strength metal and precision CNC-machined for excellent strength and rigidity, with a refined metallic finish. The grips are wrapped in premium, environmentally friendly microfiber leather with a natural texture and refined hand stitching, providing a comfortable, secure, and wear-resistant grip.
The wheel features a 2.85-inch high-resolution circular touchscreen with a 60 Hz refresh rate for smooth, responsive interaction. You can swipe up or down to quickly switch between different dashboard UIs, or swipe left or right to cycle through game data screens. Through the dashboard editor in MOZA Pit House software, users can customize Mercedes-Benz-inspired dashboard layouts, create personalized UI interfaces, or import dashboard designs shared by the community.
Furthermore, four 1.04-inch circular displays are integrated with physical rotary controls, allowing settings such as ABS, traction control, brake bias, and ERS to be displayed and adjusted directly from the wheel. A magnetic Mercedes-Benz star logo cover attaches over the central display, creating the distinctive Mercedes-Benz star at the center of the wheel. Remove the cover to reveal the racing display underneath, giving the wheel two distinct visual forms.
The wheel features 8 front buttons, 4 rotary controls with integrated circular displays, 2 clickable thumb wheels for quick adjustment of settings such as brake bias and traction control, and two 7-way Funky Switches supporting directional, rotary, and push inputs.
The rear of the rim houses 3K twill carbon fiber paddles with magnetic actuation for a crisp, responsive shifting feel. Contactless Hall-effect sensing provides consistent and reliable operation over extended use. An aluminum quick-release system enables fast wheel swaps while providing a secure and reliable connection.
Designed with an open ecosystem approach, the wheel features an RJ11 port and can connect directly to a PC through the MOZA Hub Kit, enabling compatibility with most third-party wheel bases. Powered by MOZA’s proprietary Pit House software, the wheel provides comprehensive customization and configuration options. Users can personalize dashboard layouts, customize RPM shift lights, and configure flag LED effects with adjustable colors, brightness, and lighting behavior.
The wheel is currently still in development and will most likely become available in 2027.

MOZA X Mercedes-Benz GT steering wheel
The other revealed prototype wheel is the MOZA X Mercedes-Benz GT steering wheel, inspired by the recent real-world Mercedes-AMG GT vehicles. Officially licensed by Mercedes-Benz and developed by MOZA, this GT sim racing wheel features sharp, clean lines complemented by a metallic silver Mercedes-Benz star at the center, creating a sleek and distinctive look.
The faceplate of the MOZA X Mercedes-Benz GT steering wheel features a sculpted, recessed profile that creates a strong sense of depth and gives the wheel a more distinctive, dimensional appearance. It is crafted from 3K twill carbon fiber with a matte translucent finish that subtly reveals the carbon fiber weave up close.
Using a hot-press molding process comparable to that used in endurance racing applications, the material delivers 11 times the strength and 16 times the rigidity of reinforced injection-molded composites, as well as three times the strength of aluminum alloy with comparable rigidity. The combination of low weight and high rigidity enables more responsive force feedback with greater detail and precision. The backplate is made from high-strength metal using an integrated die-casting process and precision CNC machining, delivering excellent strength and rigidity with a refined metallic finish.
An integrated 2.99-inch high-definition display provides clear real-time racing information. Through the dashboard editor in MOZA Pit House software, users can customize Mercedes-Benz-inspired dashboard layouts, create personalized UI interfaces, or import dashboard designs shared by the community.
Furthermore, the wheel features 12 RGB-backlit front buttons, 2 rear buttons for customizable functions, 2 twelve-position rotary controls with functional indicator LEDs, an 8-position rotary control, 4 thumb wheels for quick adjustment of settings such as brake bias and traction control, and two 7-way Funky Switches supporting directional, rotary, and push inputs.
The 12 front buttons, 3 rotary controls, 11 RPM LEDs, and 6 flag LEDs all support individual RGB customization with 16.7 million colors. The RPM LEDs respond to vehicle telemetry for shift indication, while the flag LEDs can display different race signals such as yellow, blue, and red flags. Lighting can be customized to suit different cars and personal preferences.
Responding to vehicle telemetry, the RPM LEDs provide clear shift indications. Customize each LED color to create a personalized shift-light sequence. The flag LEDs recreate real-world racing conditions with different colored signals. Customize lighting modes for various cars, tracks, and regulations.
The rear of the wheel houses 3K twill carbon fiber paddles with magnetic actuation for a crisp, responsive shifting feel. Contactless Hall-effect sensing provides consistent and reliable operation while helping prevent missed shifts. An aluminum quick-release system enables fast wheel swaps while providing a secure and reliable connection.
The wheel is currently still in development and will most likely become available in 2027.
