We like the Gran Turismo DD Pro by Fanatec, as it offers a relatively affordable entry point to direct drive sim racing on PlayStation consoles. But, we’ve never thought to ourselves “that needs more camo”.
Well, someone at A Bathing Ape did have that idea and has imprinted its distinctive look onto 20 of the wheel and pedal peripheral sets.
The Japanese fashion brand has the disguised look printed on the steering wheel, around the rim and in the centre hub, plus on the ankle plate of the pedal set.
Of the handful produced, one is available for US residents only via sweepstakes. Entries are open between 25th August and 25th September 2023 by singing into a competition page on the PlayStation website. To purchase, the price is $999.
It’s just one part of a range of GT-themed apparel, celebrated by a wrapped Nissan GT-R (R33) outside BAPE’s Los Angeles store three weeks ago.
There are three T-shirt designs (each available in black or white), a $329 hoodie and a rather fetching snapback cap.
BAPE has a long-standing design relationship with the Gran Turismo franchise, including this hoodie with the GT logo also in a similar green-shaded look for the 2017 PlayStation Experience event. A white BAPE X Gran Turismo T-shirt, for example, is currently listed on the clothing reselling marketplace StockX for £132.
