The Logitech Driving Force GT is an official racing wheel peripheral intended for use with racing games on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.^[1] It is manufactured and distributed by Logitech International S.A of Romanel-sur-Morges, Switzerland. Released on December 13, 2007. The Logitech Driving Force GT competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel and Nintendo's Wii Wheel as part of the seventh generation of racing wheels.

Developed in conjunction with Polyphony Digital, first introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show and intended for use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Gran Turismo 5 and all PS3 auto racing games, the Driving Force GT is the fifth entry in the company's Driving Force series of game controllers and is the official steering wheel of the Gran Turismo game franchise.

Features include 900° steering (2.5 turns lock-to-lock), with force feedback, via a full-sized (diameter 28 cm), MOMO-styled steering, full-sized throttle & brake pedals, standard PlayStation 3 gamepad buttons (, , and ), a D-pad, an R3 and L3 button, both sets of shoulder buttons, both Start and Select buttons, and a PS button.

Added realism is in the form of real-time adjustment of both brake bias and traction control settings when playing Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Users may select gears either via a Formula One style paddle shifter on the steering wheel or sequential gear shift on the "dashboard" to the right of the wheel. The force feedback is driven from the games physics engine and adds additional realism via simulated, real-time "road feel".

Connection mostly to the PS3 is via any one of that console's USB ports. The wheel also works with the PlayStation 2, also via a USB connection (all models). The wheel has full compatibility with PC racing games, supported by Logitech's "Logitech Gaming Software".
