MOZA Porsche Mission R review: $1,299 for a 5.4-inch OLED and a Porsche license

MOZA’s Porsche Mission R Steering Wheel is $1,299.00 on MOZA’s US store, and the listing crosses that figure out against itself, so nothing is discounted and the regular price is the price. What the money buys over every other MOZA wheel is the screen: a 5.4-inch flexible OLED behind 300R curvature tempered glass, on a 320 mm CNC-machined aluminum frame that MOZA says replicates the wheel in Porsche’s Mission R race car. It ties the Essenza SCV12 as the dearest wheel MOZA sells, and it is more than four times the $299.00 the cheapest MOZA base showed the same day.

Type	GT wheel, open at the top and the bottom. MOZA publishes no shape word for it: the size row reads "Size: 320 mm", and the rim in MOZA's own product photography breaks the circle above and below two vertical grips
Rim	"Wheel Frame Material: Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy" and the same alloy again on the back plate, with a face plate of "300R curvature high-strength tempered glass" and "Grip Material: Faux suede"
Inputs	MOZA's spec block lists 4 short-travel backlit buttons in 16.7 million colors, 4 short-travel floating buttons, 2 rear buttons, 2 thumb buttons, 2 aluminum rotary encoders, and 2 aluminum thumb wheels. That is 16 face controls before the paddles
Paddles	"Shift Paddles: Aluminum magnetic shift paddles" and "Dual-Clutch Paddles: Aluminum magnetic clutch paddles". MOZA's overview page adds non-contact Hall sensors at 0.03mm precision and pre-installed silencer pads
Display	"Display Type: Flexible OLED", "Display Size: 5.4 inches", "Display UI: Fully customizable". MOZA's overview page adds 720P resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate
Connectivity	"Release Method: All-aluminum quick release" and no connection row at all. Third-party bases through the $59.00 MOZA Universal Hub Kit. No port of MOZA's naming on the wheel itself
Platforms	PC is the only machine MOZA names, and the sentence that names it routes through the hub kit. No console appears anywhere on the listing
In the box	Four lines: "MOZA Porsche Mission R Steering Wheel * 1", "User Manual", "MOZA Sticker", "Warranty Card"
Price	$1,299.00 on MOZA's US store on 2 August 2026, with a crossed-out figure equal to it. The cheapest MOZA base under it is the R9 V3 at $349.00 regular, for $1,648.00
Best for	MOZA base owners who race the Mission R or other GT and prototype cars and want the largest dash MOZA puts on a rim

Who it’s for

Someone already on a MOZA base, racing GT or prototype cars, who wants telemetry on the rim rather than on a monitor and is buying the Porsche shape on purpose.

Buy it if:

• You read fuel, lap delta, and tire temperatures mid-stint. The 5.4-inch panel is the largest of the six MOZA wheels whose spec block states a screen at all, ahead of the 4.3-inch touchscreens on the FSR2 and the Essenza SCV12 and the 2.99-inch screens on the KS Pro and CS Pro.
• You race the car. iRacing runs the Porsche Mission R as a single-car spec series in its Sports Car discipline, covered on the Porsche Mission R Challenge page, and MOZA says this wheel is built from that car’s own CAD data.
• You launch from a standing start often. MOZA gives it aluminum magnetic clutch paddles and says the dual-clutch system “is fully supported in professional sim titles such as iRacing and the F1 series”.

Not the one if the screen is the only reason. The Vision GS, covered as a row on the FSR2 review, is $749.00 for a 2.85-inch circular screen on a 310mm round rim, and the FSR2 is $649.00 for a 4.3-inch touchscreen and six paddles against this wheel’s four. Not the one either if your base is not a MOZA and you have not priced the $59.00 hub kit in, or if a console is in the plan, because MOZA names none for this wheel.

What the license covers, in MOZA’s words

MOZA states the license four times on one page and never states its terms. The clearest of the four is its own FAQ, which asks “Is this an official Porsche product or just a visual replica?” and answers: “This steering wheel is officially licensed by Porsche and faithfully recreated using the original Porsche Mission R CAD data. The design, proportions, and control layout reflect the real electric race car steering wheel.”

The other three are shorter and say the same thing. The browser title reads “MOZA Porsche Mission R Steering Wheel | Officially Licensed Sim Racing Wheel”, a feature block is headed “Porsche Officially Licensed Replica”, and the product description calls it “an officially licensed replica crafted with Porsche’s original CAD data”. MOZA’s separate overview page repeats the heading and adds “faithfully replicating the original Porsche Mission R steering wheel using its original CAD data”.

What is sourced here is MOZA’s claim. No Porsche page was read for this review, and nothing on this site establishes who holds what. What the four sentences do establish is what MOZA is selling: a copy of a specific real wheel, with the layout following the car rather than following MOZA’s other wheels.

It is a design license and not a console license. The two get conflated because both are called licensing on sim-racing hardware. The words “Xbox”, “PlayStation”, “PS5”, and “PS4” appear zero times each on this listing, counted word-bounded on 2 August 2026, so there is no console for a license to carry. MOZA’s ESX is the wheel in this lineup that does carry one, on a listing that heads a block “Official Xbox Licensing” and states “Platforms: PC & Xbox”.

The 5.4-inch OLED is the largest screen MOZA puts on a rim

Six of MOZA’s 13 wheel listings state a screen in the spec block, and their rows do not describe the same class of part.

Wheel	The display row, in MOZA’s words	Regular price
MOZA Porsche Mission R	”Display Type: Flexible OLED” and “Display Size: 5.4 inches”	$1,299.00
Essenza SCV12	”Dash Display: 4.3-inch LCD color touch-screen display”	$1,299.00
FSR2	”Display Screen: 4.3-inch touchscreen display”	$649.00
Vision GS	”Display Screen: 2.85-inch high-definition circular screen”	$749.00
KS Pro	”Display: 2.99-inch screen”	$329.00
CS Pro	”Display: 2.99-inch screen”	$329.00

Only two of the six name a panel technology, and they name different ones. This wheel says OLED and the Essenza SCV12 says LCD; the other four say screen or touchscreen and stop. MOZA’s overview page adds the numbers behind this one, “an Ultra bright 5.4-inch flexible OLED display with 720P resolution, a 60 Hz refresh rate and a curved 300R, high-strength tempered glass screen”, and lists what it renders: “speed, lap times, tire pressure, battery status, ABS, and traction control”.

Nothing here says touch. Both 4.3-inch rows above use the word and this row does not, and neither MOZA surface read for this review states whether the panel accepts input. Layouts are set in software either way: MOZA’s dash UI editing system “offers over 10 preset designs and allows for extensive custom editing”, through MOZA Pit House, which its own FAQ says is required to configure display layouts, button mappings, and lighting.

The control count is MOZA against MOZA. The spec rows add to 16 face controls before the paddles: 4 backlit buttons, 4 floating buttons, 2 rear buttons, 2 thumb buttons, 2 rotary encoders, and 2 thumb wheels. MOZA’s overview page heads a block “12 Precision Controls” and reads “This steering wheel offers up to 12 controls, including floating buttons, thumb wheels, rotary encoders, and rear buttons”, and those four named categories add to 10 rows. Twelve is reachable by adding the two thumb buttons and 16 is what the rows total, and MOZA does not say which set its figure counts.

What the spec block answers twice, and what it does not answer at all

Two compatibility rows, and they answer the same question at two widths. “Direct Mount Base Compatibility: Compatible with all MOZA bases” and “Compatibility: Compatible with all MOZA wheelbases and works with 3rd party wheelbases via the MOZA hub”. The first is MOZA bases only and the second adds the third-party route, so the second contains the first. Eleven of the 13 listings carry one such row or none. The Revuelto is the only other one with two, and its pair splits the question instead of widening it: “Direct Mount Base Compatibility: Compatible with all MOZA wheelbases currently on sale” and “Third-party Base Compatibility: Supported via MOZA hub”. Neither of this wheel’s rows uses the “currently on sale” qualifier that four of the 13 listings put in their own compatibility rows and that no MOZA page defines.

No connection row at all. The block runs 23 rows and none of them is a “Communication Method”, “Communication Methods”, or “Signal Transmission” row. Seven of the 13 listings are silent that way and this is one of them, which matters because the two listings that refuse a base by name, the GS V2P and the CS V2P, refuse the R9 V1, R16 V1, and R21 V1 for using “the older wireless transmission system”. Whether this wheel keeps a wireless mode is unstated, so which side of that line it falls on is unstated too. MOZA’s compatibility chart ticks “Mission R Wheel” under all eight of its base columns and has no R9 V1 column to tick.

The hub pairing is stated from one end only. This listing routes a PC connection through “MOZA’s universal hub kit”. The MOZA Universal Hub Kit’s own listing answers its compatibility question by naming four wheels, the KS wheels, the FSR2, the Vision GS, and the TSW Truck Wheel, and this one is not among them. That sentence closes on “and other MOZA ecosystem products”, which is open rather than exhaustive, so nothing there refuses this wheel and nothing there confirms it. Get MOZA to confirm the pairing before buying the hub kit for this rim specifically.

Two spec blocks for one wheel, three values apart. MOZA publishes 23 rows on the listing and 23 on its overview page, with the same 23 labels and 20 identical values. The listing writes “Size: 320 mm”, “MOZA Pit House Control: Supported”, and “via the MOZA hub”; the overview page writes “320mm”, “Support”, and “via MOZA hub”. Every row quoted above is the listing’s.

What it costs to steer with

$1,299.00 buys a wheel that turns nothing on its own. Every compatibility sentence MOZA gives for it names a base or the hub kit.

The cheapest MOZA base under it is $349.00. MOZA’s US wheel-base collection held five on 2 August 2026: the R9 V3 at $349.00 regular and $299.00 that day, the R12 V2 at $469.00 regular and $399.00, the R16 Ultra at $529.00, the R21 Ultra at $699.00, and the R25 Ultra at $899.00. Wheel plus R9 V3 is $1,648.00 at regular prices, and the wheel is 78.8% of that total.

MOZA’s own upgrade block points higher. The listing carries a block headed “Upgrade for the Ultimate Simulation” and offers four parts: the R21 Ultra at $699.00, the R25 Ultra at $899.00, the mBooster Active Pedal Set with CRP2 throttle at $999.00 regular, and the CRP2 load cell pedals at $399.00 regular. Wheel plus R21 Ultra is $1,998.00 and wheel plus R25 Ultra is $2,198.00. Every part in that block is a base or a pedal set, so MOZA offers no upgrade for the wheel itself.

No bundle exists. MOZA’s US product sitemap holds 112 product URLs, twelve of which are base-and-wheel bundles pairing the R9 V3 or the R12 V2 with one of six other wheels, and exactly one URL carries “mission”: this wheel’s own listing. There is no discount path to it.

The third-party route is $59.00 more. The MOZA Universal Hub Kit was $59.00 regular and $39.00 that day. Read the pairing caveat above before counting on it.

Watch-outs

• The listing still reads pre-order. The button says “Pre-order Now” over “Estimated Shipping: Early March 2026”, read five months after that date, while the same page reports stock and carries two customer reviews from people who have the wheel. It is the only one of MOZA’s 13 wheel listings in that state. Ask for a ship date before paying.
• No discount, ever, so far. The compare-at figure equals the price, so the crossed-out number on the page is not a saving. Four of MOZA’s 13 wheel listings do that and the other seven showed a real reduction the same day, from $10.00 off the ESX to $70.00 off the RS V2 and the TSW Truck Wheel.
• No connection method published. MOZA states none, so the R9 V1, R16 V1, and pre-2023 R21 V1 owners have nothing to check this wheel against. Two other MOZA wheels answer that question outright and this one does not.
• No console answer at all. MOZA names PC and nothing else, and the PC route runs through a part MOZA sells separately. If you race on a console, the ESX is the only MOZA wheel whose own listing carries a platform row.
• Two customer reviews is not evidence. MOZA’s own listing showed 2 reviews on 2 August 2026, against 141 on the KS and 54 on the KS Pro. Reviews collected on the page that sells the product are a different thing from an independent test, and this site has driven none of these wheels.
• The August 2025 reaction was to a different wheel. MOZA showed a Porsche wheel at Gamescom 2025 that drew a large and mostly negative response in r/simracing, and the three threads carrying it describe a 911 GT3 RS shape rather than this one. No MOZA source read for this review says whether the two are the same project, so none of that reaction is evidence about this product.

Alternatives to consider

• MOZA FSR2: $649.00 for a 280mm carbon formula rim with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and six magnetic paddles. Half the money, two more paddles, and a smaller screen. The one to buy if you race open-wheel cars.
• MOZA Essenza SCV12: $1,299.00, the same price to the dollar, for a 310mm Lamborghini-licensed rim with a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen. The other MOZA collaboration wheel at the top of the range, priced in the MOZA wheel catalog and not reviewed here.
• Cube Controls CSX-3: ~$1,480 for a 282 mm carbon formula wheel with a 4-inch LCD and its own USB, so it runs on almost any base rather than on one brand’s. The cross-brand answer at this money.
• MOZA GS V2P: $399.00 for a 300mm forged carbon and perforated leather GT rim on the same quick release, with no screen. A third of the price if the dash lives on your monitor.

Check your base against MOZA’s chart and both compatibility rows before ordering, price the $59.00 Universal Hub Kit in if the base under it is not a MOZA, and get a ship date in writing while the button still reads pre-order. Rims and quick-releases covers what a cross-brand mount keeps and drops.
