What sets the Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate apart?
-
Real Motorsport Components This wheel isn’t just inspired by motorsport—it’s built using original parts from the McLaren Artura GT4 car. That means the feel and layout match the real deal, down to the 300mm diameter and closed design, giving sim racers the same control and ergonomics as the pros.
-
Customizable RGB Illumination The RGB lighting goes beyond aesthetics. It offers telemetry-based feedback via the integrated 21 LED shift lights, giving drivers precise data in their peripheral vision. Plus, 14 fully customizable RGB buttons let you fine-tune everything from color to tactile response, offering an adaptable driving experience.
-
Silenced Magnetic Shifters Paddle shifters often provide harsh clicking sounds, but not these. The Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate features silenced magnetic shifters that offer a crisp yet quieter shifting feel. Many sim racers appreciate how this improves immersion without sacrificing tactile feedback.
-
Unparalleled Control with Multi-function Inputs The wheel is packed with over 100 input combinations—ranging from thumb encoders to 7-way joysticks. Whether you’re adjusting car settings or navigating menus, the wheel offers easy access to essential functions without taking your hands off the wheel.

Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate Compatibility
The Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate is designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of popular direct drive wheelbases. Whether you're using Fanatec, Simagic, or OSW, this wheel connects via USB to provide full functionality. It’s also fully compatible with Asetek and other high-end platforms, offering a versatile experience across different setups. However, it doesn’t include wireless options, so be sure to check for clearance with larger wheelbase units.
With over 100 configurable inputs, the Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate shines in compatibility with PC setups, but it is not compatible with consoles. This is strictly a PC-focused device, with direct support for SimHub integration and telemetry-based lighting. Console racers, unfortunately, will have to look elsewhere for a solution compatible with PlayStation or Xbox.
