The racing wheel replicates that found in the 488 Challenge, the most powerful car in the Ferrari one-make series history thanks to its turbocharged engine
- Brushless 40-watt motor
- the powerful motor generates precise effects and provides incredible velocity.
- Motor Cooling Embedded system
- avoid overheating and optimize noiseless operation.
- Field Oriented Control (F.O.C.) algorithm
- Ensure surgical precision without losing power, even with intense torque demands.
- The built-in algorithm dynamically optimizes the onboard H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system and its 16-bit resolution (65,536 values).
- Turbo Power unit
- this specially designed external power supply, which features a toroidal-shaped body with a finless design.
- Provides an impressive 86% efficiency along with a jaw-dropping 400 watts of peak power.
- Mixed belt-pulley and gears system
- this system, along with an aXLe mounted on metal ball bearings, allows for extremely smooth and silent operation.
- Sturdy attachment system
- the wheelbase is compatible with all mounting surfaces guaranteed stability when racing.
- The end result is a 9:10 scale replica (12.6”/32 cm in diameter) of the real 488 Challenge wheel, with hand-stitched wrapping made from the same Alcantara® material used on genuine Ferrari wheels. As seen with Thrustmaster’s recent Ferrari 70th anniversary releases, the TS-PC RACER 488 Challenge Edition boasts advanced onboard pieces of equipment of impeccable quality: a faceplate crafted of black brushed anodized metal, two 5.5”/14 cm tall sequential metal paddle shifters, two D-paDS with push function, two metal rotary switches with push function, and eight action buttons. That’s no less than 25 programmable functions in total!
To put an extra bit of shimmer on this crown jewel, Thrustmaster has incorporated 15 LEDS into the wheel --a first for the brand --to serve as a tachometer, giving their drivers yet another decisive advantage in competitions.
