If you managed to amass an obscene amount of money over Christmas then you’ll probably be on the look out for something to spend it on; why not splash £450 on a top of the range Gran Turismo 5 racing wheel?
Available from today in European, African and Australasian markets is the Thrustmaster T500 RS, only the second ever wheel to be officially licensed for use with Gran Turismo.
“The goal that I set for the Thrustmaster team was to design for me the most precise wheel ever developed, without any latency – to accurately reproduce the sensations of GT5, and let users truly feel the emotions experienced by drivers on real racing circuits,” commented Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
The racing setup has a rugged, almost all-metal design weighing in at a 12kg for both the wheel and the pedals. The T500 RS also features precision engineered steering, acceleration and braking inputs.
This is something which won’t appeal to the majority of gamers, but for the true petrol head it could be best thing since that last racing wheel they bought.
