I do like the black color also, but i´m not to sure about the improvements. I don´t need an additional cheapish oil filled RCcar style shock, that will leak for sure at one point in the future and will create a mess when it goes leaky. The degressive clutch looks interesting, but not worth selling my current CSP´s to upgrade in my opinion.
And i also don´t agree/like this (qouted from 911wheel.de):
"We thought about an upgrade kit as well but there are too many parts to replace so it would be quite expensive and it would be very complicated to install. The CSP achieve good prices at eBay so we doubt that it would be worth to offer such a kit as V1 owners would not save much money but have the hassle of installation and end up with a product with the old look and used parts. Therefore we decided not to offer such an upgrade kit and I hope you agree."
For sure this is a way to improve sales, but a kick in the ass, for CSP users that just recently purchased a set of V1´s, but want the upgrades. The additional parts cost Fanatec only a few euros, otherwise the V2 would cost a lot more than 250€. If they would sell the parts as upgrade kit say for 60 Euros they still will make a good profit on the parts, but they want to make the whole profit for the pedals again. And the hassle of installation is not valid, it´s almost the same hassle if you want to change settings on the CSP´s.
The thing that they really should improve, is the way they mount their magnetic sensors. It makes no sense to me to use a sensor that will not wear (like pots) and than mount them in a way that the cables are in constant motion. This way you have a sensor that will probably never die, but the wiring will fail for sure, as movement in cables is never a good thing.
