MOZA ESSENZA SCV12 Steering Wheel

MOZA ESSENZA SCV12 Steering Wheel

Bring the thrill of a Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 hypercar directly to your sim racing rig with the MOZA Essenza SCV12 Steering Wheel.

Crafted in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse, this officially licensed wheel replicates the original hypercar design using CAD data from the 40-unit limited-edition SCV12.

Every detail, from the ergonomic suede grips to the racing-grade aluminum paddles, is engineered to deliver unparalleled realism and professional-grade performance for dedicated sim racers and Lamborghini enthusiasts.

Equipped with 72 programmable inputs, a 4.3-inch interactive touchscreen, and RGB LED rev and flag indicators, the Essenza SCV12 wheel puts total control at your fingertips.

The premium materials, including suede leather grips, carbon fiber faceplate, and aluminum alloy paddles, ensure durability and an authentic motorsport feel. Fully compatible with all MOZA bases and select third-party systems via the MOZA hub, this wheel is the ultimate tool for high-fidelity simulation.

Getting Started Guide

1. Unbox and inspect

   Carefully remove the Essenza SCV12 wheel, custom box, and sticker. Inspect the carbon face, display, paddles, and quick-release hub for any visible damage or loose parts.
   
   

2. Confirm base compatibility

   Make sure you’re using a MOZA wheelbase or a supported third-party base with MOZA Universal Hub Kit before proceeding.
   
   

3. Power off the wheelbase

   Turn off and, if possible, unplug your wheelbase before mounting the wheel to prevent unexpected movement during installation.
   
   

4. Mount the wheel with the quick release

   Align the Essenza SCV12 wheel’s quick-release hub with the base, keeping the wheel centered. Push firmly until you feel and/or hear it lock in place. Gently pull and twist to confirm there’s no play.
   
   

5. Reconnect power and USB

   Power your base and PC back on, ensuring the base is properly connected to your computer or console (depending on your setup).
   
   

6. Install or open MOZA Pit House

   Download the latest version of MOZA Pit House from MOZA’s site. Launch it and confirm the Essenza SCV12 wheel is detected.
   
   

7. Run basic calibration

   Use Pit House to center the wheel and verify that buttons, encoders, and paddle shifters all register input correctly.
   
   

8. Choose a dashboard layout

   Select one of the preset Lamborghini-style dashboards or a preferred layout for the 4.3” screen. Adjust what info you see (RPM, gear, lap times, etc.) to suit your sim.
   
   

9. Set RPM and flag LEDs

   Configure your rev lights and flag indicators—colors, brightness, and RPM thresholds—so they match your car or league requirements.
   
   

10. Map controls in your sim

    Open your racing title (iRacing, ACC, F1, etc.) and bind all primary controls (shifting, pit limiter, brake bias, engine maps, etc.) to the wheel inputs. Save a control profile for easy reuse.

Product Installation Guide

1. Prepare your rig and seating position

    

   • Ensure your wheelbase is tightly mounted to your cockpit or stand, with minimal flex.

   • Set your seat and pedal distance before finalizing wheel placement so the 310 mm wheel sits at a natural reach.

    

2. Check quick-release and hub

    

   • Inspect the MOZA quick-release hub and the wheel-side splines for dust or damage.

   • Confirm any hub screws are fully tightened according to MOZA’s documentation.

    

3. Attach the wheel

    

   • With the base powered off, align the wheel’s QR with the base hub.

   • Push straight on until fully seated and locked.

   • Apply slight torque left/right and a gentle pull to ensure the connection is solid.

    

4. Install with a third-party base (if applicable)

    

   • Attach the MOZA Universal Hub Kit to your non-MOZA base following the hub’s instructions.

   • Connect any required USB/data cables from the hub to your PC.

   • Mount the Essenza SCV12 wheel to the hub’s quick-release.

    

5. Cable routing and safety

    

   • Make sure all cables from the base or hub are routed away from your feet, pedals, and seat rails.

   • Use cable clips or ties to secure them and avoid snags during racing.

    

6. Software and firmware updates

    

   • Open MOZA Pit House and check for firmware updates for your wheel and base.

   • Update as recommended, following on-screen steps and power-cycling if required.

    

7. Configure display and LEDs

    

   • In Pit House, choose a dashboard and configure what the 4.3” screen displays.

   • Set RPM LED behavior (gradual, flashing at redline, etc.) as well as colors for flag indicators.

    

8. Tune inputs and encoder modes

    

   • Decide whether rotary encoders run in incremental mode (simple up/down) or discrete mode (12 distinct positions) depending on how you want to adjust settings like TC or brake bias.

    

9. Set up per-game profiles

    

   • Create separate Pit House profiles for different sims or car classes (e.g., GT vs prototype).

   • Store layouts, LED timing, and button maps per profile.

    

10. Final test and inspection

     

    • Enter a practice session, test all buttons, encoders, and paddles while stationary, then at speed.

    • Listen for unusual noises and check again that the wheel is firmly locked to the base.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: What wheelbases is the Essenza SCV12 wheel compatible with?

A: The Essenza SCV12 wheel works with all current MOZA wheelbases and can also be adapted to select third-party bases via the MOZA Universal Hub Kit, giving you flexibility if you already own a non-MOZA base.

Q: Is this a genuine Lamborghini product or just a “Lambo-style” wheel?

A: It’s an officially licensed Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse product, designed as a close replica of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 hypercar steering wheel, using Lamborghini design data and materials that echo the real car’s cockpit.

Q: What does the 4.3” touchscreen actually do in-game?

A: The touchscreen acts as a dynamic dash, showing telemetry, lap times, gear, RPM, temperatures, and even pedal inputs, depending on the layout you choose. Through MOZA Pit House, you can switch dashboards, adjust layouts, and use Lamborghini-themed UIs tailored to your sims.

Q: How many controls can I map, and what can they be used for?

A: The wheel supports up to 72 programmable input signals using its combination of buttons and multi-mode rotary encoders. You can assign them to brake bias, differential settings, traction/ABS levels, engine modes, pit functions, and more—essentially anything your sim allows you to bind.

Q: What materials does the wheel use, and how durable is it?

A: The Essenza SCV12 wheel uses a carbon fiber face plate, CNC-machined aluminum frame and back, aluminum shifters and knobs, and suede leather grips. Components are tested to withstand extensive use (millions of actuations across frame and switches), making it suitable for heavy daily and league racing.

Q: Can I use this wheel on console?

A: Console support depends on your wheelbase. The wheel itself is designed to connect through MOZA or compatible bases; if your base is supported on console (e.g., via MOZA’s console-compatible ecosystem), the wheel can be used there as well. Check your wheelbase’s platform compatibility for details.

Q: Is this wheel only for hypercar / GT racing?

A: While it’s modeled after a Lamborghini hypercar wheel, many sim racers use it across GT, prototype, and track-focused content because of its versatile input layout, premium feel, and built-in display. It’s ideal anywhere a compact, button-rich GT/Formula-style wheel is an advantage.
