Those who wish racing games were a bit more real may want to consider picking up the new Thrustmaster Gran Turismo wheel. The all-new controller was designed for the upcoming PS4 title "Gran Turismo Sport." It costs $800 which is more than a new PS4 costs. The reason for its high price is due to the controller's capabilities. The leather-wrapped wheel is powered by its own power supply, the faux turbocharger that comes with it, and features an integrated cooling system.
There are also sensors that detect exactly where the handle is and a direct feedback function that lets drivers feel the virtual road. The Thrustmaster Gran Turismo wheel looks as complex as an F1 steering wheel thanks to all the buttons on it. In addition to the wheel the package includes a three-pedal setup (the stick shift is sold separately).
