Identify steering wheel

Can I get some help identifying the steering wheel I have in my car?

The original owner claimed it was a Techart wheel. Carbon fiber on the top half, perforated leather on the sides, and smooth leather on the bottom. Looks to be a Typ 2 in leather/carbon fiber? When comparing it to the Techart brochure (https://www.techart.de/fileadmin/con...0991626185.pdf), I see a Techart logo on the bottom but mine does not have such a thing.

Thanks!

As best I could tell that is a Techart steering wheel. The Techart Logo is an option and you should be happy you don't have it. Much nicer without it.

Mine is all leather, and it's one of the best mods I have done to the car. Car steering feels different with the thicker steering wheel (and much newer since the original steering wheel was becoming slippery and ugly looking). Techart steering wheel is among the very best after-market's and made in Germany. Congrats.

Thanks Can! I had no idea the logo was optional.. I really enjoy the wheel, but part of me is considering the 991.2 as well.

Like Can says definitely a Tech Art wheel here's mine ordered without badge $3500.00 you can usually see the flat spot where the badge would be under the leather ,if it had the badge,a very nice upgrade compared the the stock wheel enjoy.
