Driving style

The Essenza SCV12 is a collector's wheel for Lamborghini fans. Its 310 mm GT shape and touchscreen suit GT3 and hypercar driving in Assetto Corsa Competizione (where Lamborghini Huracán GT3s feature), iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa. It is relatively heavy and deep, so a reviewer recommends at least an R9 base, and it sits further out than other MOZA wheels, which can change seating position. Best for Lamborghini enthusiasts who value the licensed replica; less suited for competitive racers wanting clutch paddles, magnetic shifters or SimHub, where the FSR2 or Vision GS offer more for less.

Build quality

Premium build

The Essenza SCV12 uses a 3D twill carbon fiber front plate on a CNC-machined aluminum alloy frame with Lamborghini suede grips, weighing 1950 g. Reviewers praise the materials, but the aluminum shifters are toggle-style rather than magnetic, and the preview unit's thumb encoders felt overly sensitive. MOZA lists up to 24 months of warranty.

Software

The Essenza SCV12 is set up in MOZA Pit House on Windows PC, which a reviewer called well organized; the 4.3-inch touchscreen can show customized telemetry pages with Lamborghini-style layouts. Reviewers flagged early software errors (tire pressure units and formulas) and no automatic per-car shift-light profiles, and there is no SimHub support. It is PC only; the MOZA Universal Hub Kit enables third-party bases.

Frequently asked questions

Which bases work with the MOZA Essenza SCV12?

It fits all MOZA bases currently on sale with the included aluminum quick release, and third-party bases through the MOZA Universal Hub Kit. A reviewer recommends at least an R9 because of its weight.

Are the Essenza SCV12 paddles magnetic?

No. A reviewer notes the two aluminum shifters are toggle switches rather than magnetic, and there are no clutch paddles, joystick or seven-way switch.

Does the Essenza SCV12 support SimHub?

No. The touchscreen is driven by MOZA Pit House, which a reviewer found well organized; commenters called the lack of SimHub a deal breaker for many at this price.

Were there software issues with the Essenza SCV12 screen?

On the preview unit, a reviewer found tire pressure shown in bar while ACC uses PSI with an incorrect stored formula, and no automatic per-car shift-light profiles. MOZA said production units would improve the thumb encoders.

Is the Essenza SCV12 worth $1,299?

The reviewer rated it about 3 out of 5, praising build and design but noting compromises. Most commenters found it too expensive for its features, suggesting the branding drives much of the price.

Essenza SCV12 vs Porsche Mission R?

Both cost $1,299. The Mission R has a larger 5.4-inch OLED and magnetic aluminum shift and clutch paddles; the Essenza has a 4.3-inch touchscreen, more encoders, flag LEDs and non-magnetic shifters without clutch paddles.

Does the Essenza SCV12 work on consoles?

No. It is a PC wheel; MOZA's Xbox route is the ESX wheel.

What warranty does the Essenza SCV12 have?

MOZA's US store lists up to 24 months of warranty protection and a 14-day returns policy.
