    Thank you for being honest and having some integrity. Literally no one else talked about the shifters not being magnetic and the cheap thumb encoders. Everybody is praising the wheel. You also seem to be one of the few, who doesn't have an affiliate link, which explains a lot.

    It's a flagship "Hey, look at what we can do" wheel and wont be their top seller. People who buy it will buy it because it is a one to one and they LOVE Lambos. I think it's a beautiful wheel and while its a great looking replica of a real wheel... The lack of backlighting in todays market is a no for me. I race a lot at night and in the dark. Back lighting is essential

    No magnetic shifters and no clutch paddles for 1300€? Saying it's a replica is one kind to justify it's lack of features but in a very competitive segment for high end wheels I don't think many would go for this if they are not ones who adore Lamborghini or simply want to stay in the Moza ecosystem without any 3rd party wheels.

    Few issues with this replica in my opinion:
    It is rather Unpractical on most cars
    It is of a relatively unknown and very rare car so people don’t buy it because they see it Sundays on the race track
    You cannot find the car in any major sims unlike the McLaren GT3 and GT4, the BMW GT3 and GT4 and even the Bentley GT3 that is represented in ACC
    Replicas are always a balance between practicality and realism but it is very beneficial for that to pick a car that is represented in both the sim and real world a lot so people actually have a relationship to the history of the wheel. If your favourite driver is Rossi for example you’re more likely to buy the fanatec BMW GT3 wheel whereas if it’s James Baldwin you might buy one of the many McLaren wheel replicas. Anyways TLDR it isn’t the product itself it is the car that they chose to replicate from that’s the issue.

    Lovely LOOKING wheel - gorgeous, in fact. Let down by all the criticisms you made, but I think Moza will release a more sim-friendly version, ultimately. This will sell like hotcakes to those who want a true replica.
    The wheel which really grabs my attention is the new Fanatec Porsche VGT. Gorgeous-looking, and with the new ownership they will finally have sorted the major hurdles to Fanatec ownership: after-sales and supply.

    After getting the FSR and their poor support for their underwhelming dashes, never again, MOZA. They have basically ignored their customers who invested into the FSR wheel.
    They also made way too many concessions on this wheel and if the screen still doesn’t work with simHUB by now, it’s not worth the price.

    Naw I think all brands need high end wheels like this. Happy to see it but moza needs to upgrade some components if they are going to charge 1300. Like the damn shifters are just not good to me.
    Then you have people like that gt7 player, whats his name. He has that green logo for his channel and talks about fanatec all the time, covers all of that stuff. Yeah him, he didn't talk about one thing not being good on it. To me, it's horrible that he isn't doing so. There are a good bit of comprimises on this wheel for the price. Like in a pretty bad way.

    I feel that Moza is going down the wrong route. Surely everyone blasts out some VERY expensive wheels these days but many of them are more feature-rich and that said, this is not the premium wheel that Moza or their customers need. Certainly this is a replica and it's very similar to the real deal, but no LED-lit buttons, no joysticks, no magnetic shifters, no simhub integration, [...] This will really only be attractive to very few Lamborghini fans. I also really wonder why Moza didn't really exhibit anything on the Expo and it feels a bit as if competitors are slighty gaining an edge over Moza.

So I think it's useless as a simracing wheel. Besides, making a replica of the wheel of the car that you can't actually drive in any sim - well it clearly is just a marketing move. The car isn't even a racing car but a track-day car for a bunch of wealthy dudes.

    This wheel is targeted at someone like me. I’m into full replica wheels, I find them to be a good connection to reality. I think to the people who are complaining about the wheel and how it doesn’t accommodate for your simracing needs, I think that your better off just buying a wheel that has all the funky switches and stickers labeled for simracing. There’s nothing wrong with these types of wheels and no need to complain about them. Yes there built for a targeted audience, so they are going to not have all the “required” simracing needs
