## Long description

The Thrustmaster TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition is a PC racing wheel officially licensed by Ferrari® and designed to reproduce the look and feel of the real Ferrari 488 Challenge wheel at 9:10 scale (12.6” / 32 cm diameter). It pairs a replica Alcantara®-wrapped competition wheel with a high-performance TS-PC servo base that delivers brushless 40 W Force Feedback, internal memory and upgradeable firmware. The package includes an external TURBO POWER supply, detachable metal faceplate wheel, large metal sequential paddle shifters, multiple programmable controls and broad compatibility with Thrustmaster pedals, shifters and wheel add-ons.
Advantages
The external TURBO POWER supply provides sustained and high peak power (up to 400 W) with a toroidal, finless design for optimized efficiency and reduced heat. A 40 W brushless servomotor in the TS-PC base offers dynamic, high-precision Force Feedback with selectable behavior from long stall curves to highly responsive, dynamic torque. The wheel uses Hall-effect H.E.A.R.T. technology (16-bit resolution) combined with Field Oriented Control (F.O.C.) for accurate, low-loss motor response. Materials and controls follow the competition theme: hand-stitched Alcantara® wrap imported from Italy, metal faceplate and paddle shifters, 15 built-in LEDs for RPM/tachometer function, and 26 programmable functions in total.
Suitable for
PC racing simulators and driving games on Windows 10/8/7
