New Thrustmaster product??

[paskowitz]

Perhaps a rim for the T500 that adds Xbox compatibility?

It does not work that way.

 

[CTstryk]

I'm thinking a new thrustmaster cockpit setup...

 

[Coxis]

Hmm. Most intriguing.

A Ferrari wheel rim for the T500RS would be awesome, but judging by the "Never seen before" bit, I doubt it'll be a rim. It might be a completely new product altogether.

Its hard to think of what hasn't been seen in sim racing hardware terms. At the same time I really hope that they are not using the never before seen term incorrectly, does it mean never before seen as in we just havn't seen what it actually is, never before seen as a product that no one has done yet or just never seen before from Thrustmaster?

Could be anything.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be something we've all seen before but just not made by TM and/or for the 360. If it was something brand new you have to wonder why TM would seem to imply it's for the 360 when they make the official GT5 wheel as well, wouldn't they try to pander to that audience before moving on if it was something truly completely new?

 

[MagpieRacer]

The 360 still had a Thrustmaster wheel though: http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/ferrari-458-italia

I would personally be disappointed if it was something for the 360..

 

[amf7]

360 Top range wheel to compete with fanatec?

 

[LogiForce]

A tactile solution for the masses from Thrustmaster?

 

[nerves]

I'm gonna guess ( more wishful thinking than anything else) that is a new rim for the 500...maybe the 458 rim.

new rim would be sweet

 

[MSTER232]

A new car ?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Part of me thinks handbrake and that we should be paying less attention to the video itself .

 

[sesselpupser]

If it's a handbrake I'm buying it so quickly, like so quickly...

 

[fatkrakr]

Thats why I said a handbrake. No wheeel maker has made one yet and there appears to be huge demand for one. Look how many people are using the TH8 for a handbrake.

 

[playnthru]

I hope it's better pedals myself. The flappy paddles work just fine as a handbrake( in my opinion).

 

[Coxis]

Knowing marketing these days, the "never before seen" bit may be a complete lie or play on words.

If it's a handbrake... That'd be awesome. I don't need one nor do I think I'd buy it (that's what I say now) but it would be awesome nonetheless. Imagine if it were a handbrake and it worked with GT5, that'd be novel.

360 is too old car be used for licencing a porudct.

Too old of a car to be marketing anything arround it to be honest. It's an old outdated car wich doesn't have any classic car value or any following out there. I'm more convinced of an Xbox 360 product if the garage number has any relevance...

 

[rebla47]

... the new Thrustmaster item is a 360 mm steering wheel rim for T500 RS, and we expect having leather cover and fixed paddles (and full rounded, not with a plain rim base, please... ).

EDIT:

False alarm!

[Coxis]

Wow, that's what I call a stretch.

 

[HOODFIELD]

No way it's a handbrake, judging by the audio and the fact Thrustmaster has the license it's going to be FERRARI, and I agree it's probably a new rim, if not a whole new wheel.

 

[left888]

It is a new wheel , it will be the #1 wheel on the market, just after Christmas.

 

[ravey1981]

its a wheel!

 

[amf7]

If that has FFB and is decent quality it's gonna sell so well.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Well thats an anticlimactic disappointment.

For the Xbox

 

[MagpieRacer]

Never before seen, aside from the 4 that came before it.

 

[Pingwhen]

well to be fair they have never made a wheel for the xbox before have they?

 

[Patrick]

They have made a 458 wheel for XBOX.

 

[Pingwhen]

Oh I thought that wheel was the new one. My mistake.

 

[amf7]

It didn't have FFB tho.
