Only 40 real Essenza SCV12 hypercars were ever built, and Moza’s replica wheel is the closest most sim racers will ever get to holding one. Reviewers agree the craftsmanship lives up to that ambition, even if the software isn’t fully there yet.
Genuine Automotive-Grade Craftsmanship
Built using original CAD data in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini itself, this isn’t a generic wheel with hypercar branding slapped on. The CNC machined aluminum frame delivers real strength and rigidity, and the suede leather grips match the actual materials used in real Squadra Corse vehicles. Reviewers specifically note that quality is felt even in small details, like the tactile response of pressing any button or control.
A Genuinely Dense Control Layout
72 fully customizable input signals across 8 backlit buttons, 4 thumb knobs, and 4 rotary encoders gives this wheel enormous functional depth beyond just looking the part. Combined with 10 high-brightness LEDs and dual RGB flag indicators, it’s built to be a genuinely functional cockpit centerpiece, not just a display piece.
Worth Knowing: OverTake.gg’s review landed at 3 out of 5, specifically citing software and thumb encoder refinement as the areas holding it back from a higher score. Reviewers note the hardware itself isn’t in question, it’s the software polish around it that needs more work.
Who This Is Actually For
This is squarely a purchase for Lamborghini enthusiasts and dedicated collectors within the hobby, not a general recommendation for drivers just wanting a strong all-purpose wheel rim. The premium and specific styling reflect that positioning clearly.
Pros and Cons
What stands out
- Genuine collaboration with Lamborghini using original CAD data
- CNC machined aluminum and suede leather match real hypercar materials

FAQ
1. Is the Essenza SCV12 wheel worth it for non-Lamborghini fans?
Not particularly, this is a purchase driven mainly by brand and design enthusiasm rather than general functional advantages over other premium rims.
2. Does the software match the hardware quality?
Not yet, reviewers specifically note the software and thumb encoders need further refinement compared to the hardware craftsmanship.
3. What kind of wheelbase does it need?
Like Moza’s other rims, it requires a compatible Moza wheelbase, it doesn’t function as a standalone product.
Final Take
The Essenza SCV12 delivers genuine hypercar-grade craftsmanship for a specific, enthusiast audience. The software needs more polish to fully match the hardware’s ambition, but the physical build itself lives up to its licensing.
- Built with Automobili Lamborghini using original CAD data, not just licensed branding.
- CNC machined aluminum and suede leather grips match real Squadra Corse materials.
- 72 customizable inputs give it genuine functional depth beyond its styling.
- Software and thumb encoder refinement fall short of the hardware’s craftsmanship.
