Known as a manufacturer of game controllers, steering wheels and joysticks for PCs and gaming console, Thrustmaster unveiled an upgraded T300RS GT Edition in preparation for the release of Polyphony Digital's "Gran Turismo Sport" on PS4. The T300RS racing wheel package includes reinforced components and a third pedal.
The newest device is a high-end pedal set and racing wheel that is compatible not just with PS4, but also with PS3. PlayStation gamers have other options like Thrustmaster T150 and Logitech G29 according to Tom's Hardware. But, the features of the upgraded T300RS GT Edition are more advanced given its interchangeable wheels and it is compatible with other accessories like hand brakes and shifters.
The T300RS GT Edition supports the T300RS package to allow a more aggressive driving. It is made with a metal base compared to the original T300RS which is only made with plastic. The Thrustmaster Quick Release system is featured in the wheelbase allowing users to change it to other designs. Since the T300RS quick release system is compatible with other wheels, players could have many options including Ferrarri 1, Ferrari GTE racing wheels and licensed Ferrari 599XX EVO 30.
The bundled wheel of the T300RS is especially made for PlayStation consoles including licensed branding as well as official PS4 PS, Options and Share buttons on its face. It also features a flexible and silent rotation due to the dual-belt drive brushless motor built in by Thrustmaster.
Thrustmaster also used H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system that allows the wheelbase to provide an incredible precision. It has a 16-bit precision that incorporates friction-free magnetic sensors. Plus, the T300RS has 5-inch tall paddle shifters featuring switches best for 500,00 activations.
There are many more features that are offered by the T300RS GT edition allowing racers to improve their skills using a brand new racing wheel that is licensed officially by "Gran Turismo" franchise before the game itself will be released according to Gamasutra. The Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition package is currently available for $399.99.
