Thrustmaster Hints New High-End Gaming Racing Wheel With High-End Pricing

Logitech's led the way for Gran Turismo official racing wheels for years now, with the acclaimed G25, Driving Force GT and G27. Hell, the GT in Driving Force GT stands for Gran Turismo, and it comes with special dials just for the Playstation 3 exclusive. Too bad, because after a few insightful gamers started asking questions about one unreleased wheel in Gran Turismo 5's options menu, we found out that Thrustmaster is the new king of Gran Turismo hardware.

Thrustmaster, a gaming peripheral maker, revealed the official racing wheel, the T500RS, as Gran Turismo 5's official racing wheel. It's not out yet, and we'll undoubtedly get to try it out ourselves at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, but Gizmodo is reporting that it will cost $500 for the wheel alone, not including pedals or a gearbox.
