Logitech Unveils Official Wheel of Gran Turismo(TM) for PLAYSTATION(R)3 Logitech Unveils Official Wheel of Gran Turismo(TM) for PLAYSTATION(R)3 Logitech Driving Force GT Wheel Delivers Powerful Force Feedback, Brake Bias and Traction Control Adjustment SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 20, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC), Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI), the world's leading developer of force feedback gaming wheels, announced the Logitech(R) Driving Force(TM) GT racing wheel, the official wheel of Gran Turismo(TM). Featuring powerful force feedback and an innovative 24-position realtime adjustment dial for on-the-fly control of brake bias, traction and damper settings, the Logitech Driving Force GT gives gamers the most accurate and authentic PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)) racing experience. "We're excited to be working with Polyphony Digital again to deliver a wheel that will satisfy the needs of car enthusiasts, like me, around the world," said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech's director of product marketing for gaming. "People who love the striking realism of the Gran Turismo racing series will discover that Logitech's latest wheel will allow them to experience the cars the way they were meant to be driven. With the Logitech Driving Force GT, you're not playing games anymore - you're racing!" Logitech's latest racing wheel was meticulously designed by Logitech and Polyphony Digital, Inc., the developer of the Gran Turismo series. The companies worked together to add the unique realtime adjustment dial, a first for force feedback wheels, allowing people to fine tune the car's balance by adjusting the brake bias, traction control and damper settings. Now Gran Turismo drivers can have precise control over the car's setup to achieve maximum performance. "The Gran Turismo series has always been designed for racing enthusiasts," said Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital. "The Driving Force GT racing wheel was designed to perfection by our team, specifically for the next generation of Gran Turismo." Logitech's newest force feedback wheel simulates understeer, oversteer, and traction loss with frightening accuracy. While the full-size gas and brake pedals deliver precise throttle and brake response, racers can use either the sequential stick shift or the wheel-mounted paddles to race through gears. The wheel also features a large 11-inch wheel with rubber-overmold rim, providing exceptional comfort and control. The Logitech Driving Force GT turns 900 degrees lock-to-lock allowing drivers to navigate hairpin turns with greater accuracy. And with anti-backlash gearing, there is no slack in the steering response, making any race a smooth, realistic experience. In the center of the 11-inch wheel, the Driving Force GT features an illuminated horn button with the official Gran Turismo logo. Using the authentic sounds of the car being driven, racers can quickly alert other cars when they are approaching fast. Or when playing online, people can simply use the horn to taunt other players as they speed by. The Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is engineered for use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on PS3, which will be available on Blu-ray Disc(TM) (BD) and as a download on the PLAYSTATION(R)Network in North America on April 17 and in Europe on March 28. The Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is also compatible with Gran Turismo(TM)3 and Gran Turismo(TM)4 on the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system. Pricing and Availability The Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in May. The suggested retail price is $149.99 (U.S.).

    I chose the name Alpine for my firm because for me it represented the pleasure of driving along mountain roads. It was while traversing the Alps in my 5-speed 4CV that I had the most fun. This form of passionate driving experience – that was what my clients had to discover at the wheel of the car that I wanted to create. Alpine is a name that speaks to you, and it also serves as a symbol. Jean Rédélé, Alpine founder I I \ Alpine celebrates its 60th anniversary and is part of the legendary video game Gran Turismo 6. For this occasion the marque has created a virtual car called... COMING TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU SOON! The Alpine Vision Gran Turismo, fruit of the collective imagination of the designers and engineers entrusted with developing the 21st Century Alpine, is due to appear soon in the celebrated Gran Turismo® 6 game in millions of homes worldwide! The Alpine Vision Gran Turismo will enable players to get behind the virtual wheel of this exclusive creation that embodies the brand’s unique DNA. Dreams can become reality as Alpine present a breath-taking full-scale model of the car at the Festival Automobile International in Paris on January 27, 2015. The Alpine of the 21st Century is creeping gradually closer. The wait may seem interminable to the more impatient fans, but at least there is plenty going on to help them to bide time! In motor racing, for example, the Alpine A450 prototype collected European endurance racing titles in 2013 and 2014, as well as a podium finish in the LM P2 class in last June’s Le Mans 24 Hours.

  • An All Carbon Fiber Supercar Like No Other Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina Unveiled
    COMUNICATO STAMPA An all carbon fiber supercar like no other Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina unveiled F1 racing legend and Indy 500 champion, Emerson Fittipaldi, unveiled his dream track car, the much-anticipated Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina, at the Geneva Motor Show today. The ultra-light, all carbon fiber supercar fuses the vision of F1 and Indy Car racing champion Fittipaldi, iconic Italian design company Pininfarina and race-bred German engineering firm HWA AG, and fulfills Fittipaldi’s dream to produce a car with fierce track- racing capabilities, for drivers of all skill levels. “I have tried for years to explain to others what it truly feels like to be behind the steering wheel of a championship racecar. There is adrenaline and elation all rolled into an awe- inspiring inner fulfillment that leaves you craving for more. This is what our dream team created in the EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina,” said Fittipaldi of the first car to be released under the Fittipaldi Motors marque. Revealing a commandingly sleek design underscored by an extraordinary power-to- weight ratio, the supercar’s design theme – that of a shark, inspired by Emerson – finds astounding aerodynamic expression in the vehicle’s flowing, aggressive lines; assertive yet incredibly beautiful and pure; and a balance between emotion and efficiency typical of Pininfarina’s design work. “The EF7 is an exciting car that embodies Pininfarina’s DNA in terms of style and innovation, Emerson’s championship race experience and HWA AG’s flawless engineering skills. Our collective team was able to turn a dream into a driving machine,” enthused Pininfarina Chairman Paolo Pininfarina.
