- Fanatec Podium DD to debut at Sim Formula Europe today (15th January 2026).
- Features 25 Nm constant torque with 33 Nm peak
- Europe price: €1,099.95, USA price $1,199.99
Fanatec’s latest flagship direct drive wheelbase will debut at the Sim Formula Europe expo on 15th January, and the Landshut-based business has now confirmed its expected retail price.
Set to launch with a constant output rating of 25 Nm, the Podium DD will achieve peaks of up to 33 Nm, placing it at the higher end of the sim racing hardware market.
Its pricing reflects this, with European customers expected to pay €1,099.95 according to the Fanatec website, and U.S. patrons $1,199.99. However, both these prices include shipping costs.
Although UK costs have yet to be announced, British customers will face additional taxes on top of product and shipping costs due to the country’s exit from the European Union in 2020.
The Podium DD comes ‘PC and Xbox ready’, with no information available on PlayStation compatibility, currently. However, the wheelbase includes a three-year warranty and is expected to ship from 23rd January.
The Podium DD’s 25 Nm headline torque figure puts it in direct competition with the Moza R25 Ultra ($899) and the Simucube 2 Pro ($1,299), but we’ll have to wait for its release to determine how well it performs.
