VPG Sim Ford Mustang GT3 Steering Wheel: The First Officially Licensed Ford Sim Wheel — And It Shows

There are sim racing wheels that look like race car wheels. There are sim racing wheels that are inspired by race car wheels. And then there is the VPG Sim Ford Mustang GT3 — a wheel that does not draw inspiration from the real car, because it is the real car. Built by the same team, using the same moulds, from the same materials, on the same production line as the championship wheel currently competing in IMSA, SRO, and FIA WEC events around the world.

Starting from $2,599 CAD, this is not a casual purchase. But for the sim racer who wants the closest thing in existence to putting their hands on an actual GT3 wheel — this is it.

The First Officially Licensed Ford Sim Racing Wheel — Ever

Ford has licensed plenty of merchandise over the years — die cast models, apparel, video game appearances. But the VPG Sim Mustang GT3 is the first time Ford Performance has officially licensed a sim racing steering wheel. That is not a small distinction.

VPG developed this wheel in direct collaboration with Ford Performance and the GT racing teams who develop and race the real Mustang GT3. Every ergonomic decision — the button placement, the grip profile, the rotary positions — was shaped by the same engineers who designed the wheel for Harry Tincknell, Richard Westbrook, and the drivers competing at Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans.

What you hold in your hands when you sit down for a session in iRacing or Assetto Corsa Competizione is not a tribute to that wheel. It is that wheel.

Carbon From the Race Car. Literally.

The entire chassis of the Mustang GT3 sim wheel is constructed from the same carbon fibre used in the real race car — not a carbon faceplate, not carbon-look trim, but a completely carbon chassis built using the same molds and techniques as the competition wheel.

The result is a wheel that weighs just 1,120g — incredibly light for a full-featured sim wheel at this size — while delivering zero flex under any amount of force. Reviewers who have applied maximum torque twisting tests report that the wheel feels stronger than it has any right to given how light it is.

Why does low weight matter? In sim racing, rotational inertia affects how quickly and accurately force feedback details are transmitted to your hands. A heavier wheel masks fine details. The Mustang GT3 wheel's lightweight construction means you feel everything — every kerb, every surface texture change, every moment of understeer or oversteer.

The grips are the original Mustang GT3 grips. The carbon body is produced by the same expert team in the same facility. VPG's co-founder Manny has described the philosophy that the wheel body itself plays a role in transferring force feedback frequencies — and the full-carbon construction is central to that. When reviewers compare the VPG wheel back-to-back with other premium options, the balance and fine frequency transfer stands out immediately.

76 Inputs, Automotive-Grade Electronics, and RGB That Actually Makes Sense

The Mustang GT3 sim wheel is packed with hardware — all of it automotive-certified and sourced from the same suppliers as the real race car electronics:

The RGB implementation deserves a mention — 4 individually addressable LEDs per button, fully customizable via SimHub, with VPG's proprietary dome gel stickers that enhance both the visual effect and the tactile feel of each button. It is the kind of detail that separates a product built by people who care from one assembled to a spec sheet.

Setup is plug-and-play via USB, with full advanced mapping available through VPG's software. Button placement and paddle feedback consistently score top marks in independent reviews — designed for endurance racing comfort so you can run a 24-hour session without fatigue.

The Immersion Factor — When the Virtual and Real Match Exactly

Here is something that sim racers who own this wheel consistently bring up: the moment you load up the Mustang GT3 in iRacing or ACC and look at the in-game wheel on your screen, you are looking at the exact same wheel you are holding. Not a close match. An exact match.

Reviewers describe the experience as mind-blowingly immersive — particularly in VR, where you look down and see what is functionally the real race car wheel in your hands. For a sim racer who loves the Mustang GT3 platform and races it seriously, this is not just a premium purchase. It is a fundamental shift in how the sim feels.

The Mustang GT3 currently competes at the highest levels of endurance racing globally — IMSA, FIA WEC, SRO. When you race that car in sim with this wheel, you are using the same tool the professional drivers use. That is a statement no other sim wheel product can honestly make.

Is It Worth the Price Tag?

The honest answer: it depends entirely on what you are looking for.

If you want a high-performing sim racing wheel with a premium feel, there are excellent options at lower price points — we carry several at Full Push Racing. The Mustang GT3 wheel is not the right first step for someone building their first proper sim setup.

But if you already have a quality direct drive wheelbase, a solid rig, and you are specifically drawn to GT3 racing — especially the Mustang platform — this wheel is not overpriced for what it is. You are not paying a premium for a replica. You are paying for the real thing. Independent reviewers consistently award it top marks across build quality, functionality, and immersion, noting that it sets a new standard for premium GT wheels.

Owner feedback echoes that. The VPG team — including co-founder Manny, who is known for personally supporting customers on Discord — has built a reputation for exceptional after-sales care that is rare at any price point.
