This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS of Xbox Controllers

If you’ve spent the last week or so tearing up the Forza 7 pre-release demo and are twiddling your thumbs waiting for the full version to drop on October 3rd, we have some good news for you.

Custom gaming controller company Scuf has partnered with Forza and Microsoft to develop the Porsche 911 GT2 RS-inspired Xbox Elite controller. The gamepad is covered with the same Alcantara material found in the cabin of the GT2 RS and has some other unique features such as a Porsche badge, a ‘911 GT2 RS’ logo and Forza logos.

“The Scuf Forza Elite features fine attention to detail, hand-built at our facilities in Atlanta where it is geared and tested for performance,” Scuf co-founder Duncan Ironmonger said in a statement. “In 2011, we challenged how controllers were built, creating a new market for high-performance controllers by adding features to increase hand use and improve gameplay. This new limited-edition controller continues that tradition. It’s a tribute to fans of Forza, Porsche, and Scuf. It could not have become a reality without these three premium brands coming together.”

The controller will go on sale on October 7th – shortly after Forza 7’s arrival. It will retail for a very expensive $299.95, but it doesn’t stop there. You can also order the controller as a bundle, which comes with interchangeable parts and a 911 GT2 RS scale model and will cost you $365. The controller will be limited to just 2,000 units, while Scuf will make just 500 of the bundles. At that price point, you should just buy a force feedback wheel. You’ll be thankful you did.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
