Formula V4S Steering Wheel - Dual Displays, Multi-Sequencer & Multi-Core Linux Platform

The Formula V4S steering wheel is the most advanced evolution of XAP Technology's Formula V4 research program. It integrates a unique combination of three real-time controllers and a multi-core processor running a Linux distribution entirely developed by XAP. Today, it is the only racing steering wheel featuring dual independent displays, a multi-sequencer architecture and a multi-core embedded processor, all housed within an extremely robust composite structure.

Dual independent displays: unmatched visibility and data separation

The Formula V4S features two independent screens, each capable of displaying its own information layer: engine data, warnings, strategies, hybrid management, telemetry streams, system messages, and more. This dual-display layout provides exceptional ergonomics, allowing drivers to clearly distinguish critical information during high-intensity racing.

Multi-core processor with XAP's custom embedded Linux

At the core of the V4S is an advanced computing platform built around: - a multi-core processor, - a secured Linux distribution engineered in-house by XAP, - three synchronized real-time controllers managing displays, logic sequences, critical timing tasks and data processing. This architecture delivers deterministic execution, ultra-fast processing and a level of software flexibility never before integrated into a racing steering wheel.

Multi-sequencer system for advanced vehicle strategies

The V4S incorporates a powerful multi-sequencer engine, enabling simultaneous or layered execution of complex strategies: energy management, chassis modes, hydraulic or hybrid sequences, automated sequences and custom race functions. This system gives engineers and drivers unprecedented control and adaptability.

Ultra-resistant enclosure and high-performance construction

The Formula V4S is enclosed in an extremely robust composite housing, combining reinforced carbon and precision-machined structural elements. Designed to withstand high vibration, shocks, thermal stress and severe motorsport environments, it guarantees long-term reliability in prototypes, endurance series and advanced single-seaters.

A new generation of intelligent steering wheel

Thanks to its computing architecture, dual displays, Linux-based processing and real-time sequencing capability, the Formula V4S represents a breakthrough in driver-interface design. It is intended for teams requiring a steering wheel capable of evolving, processing large amounts of data and integrating seamlessly into modern electrical architectures.

The Formula V4S stands as XAP's most advanced steering platform: intelligent, robust, evolutive and engineered for the most demanding racing categories.
