MASTER EACH TRACK
In a Nutshell
Designed for all gamers looking for performance and immersion and
wanting to free themselves from their keyboard, mouse or gamepad, or
improve their skills after starting out with a beginner’s wheel, T248
is a racing wheel officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation
4, and compatible with PC.
UNDER THE HOOD
Thrustmaster Race Dashboard Display
T248 features a selection of more than 20 different displays on its
built-in screen: manual adjustment of a range of settings (selection of
Force Feedback type, the wheel’s rotation angle, etc.), or the user’s
choice of telemetry information (gear ratio, RPM, gamer’s best lap
time, etc.).
Dynamic Force Feedback
T248 features 3 types of Force Feedback (presets included), compatible
with all games and modifiable on the fly directly on the wheel:
FFB 1: Force Feedback 100% proportional to the force requested by the
game.
FFB 2: enhanced Force Feedback, for better skid control.
FFB 3: boosted Force Feedback, allowing users to clearly feel all
racing effects from the track (curbs, skidding off-track, etc.).
Next-Gen Hybrid Drive System
Providing gamers with extra power (up to 70% more than the previous
Thrustmaster hybrid racing wheel, T150), T248 dominates racetracks
thanks to its intensity.
The outstanding drivability made possible by this hybrid system avoids
counterintuitive sensations and friction problems commonly found in
racing wheels without a belt drive component.
25 Action Buttons
Including 2 dual-position encoders (up and down) located on the ends of
the wheel’s central spokes, T248 features nearly twice as many action
buttons as previous Thrustmaster racing wheels (T150 series).
This extensive range of physical and virtual buttons allows users to
always have plenty of choices when it comes to assigning racing
controls, in any type of game.
Magnetic Paddle Shifters
Thanks to H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, T248’s paddle shifters allow
for super-fast gear shifting, with clear and precise activation feel
(30 ms response time) to avoid driving errors.
This proprietary technology, based on a contactless system of magnets
without any friction, also allows for an unprecedented product lifespan
over the long term — even with the most intense gaming sessions.
Magnetic Pedal Set
Providing truly exceptional, thousandth-of-a-second precision, the T3PM
magnetic pedal set also allows for 4 pressure modes on the brake pedal.
With completely smooth motion and avoiding the loss of precision over
time experienced by standard potentiometer-based pedal sets, T3PM
represents a huge, striking leap forward both in terms of versatility
and in-game responsiveness
Enjoy total freedom to put your display wherever you like in your
racing setup!
The very first display unit featuring Bluetooth® wireless technology,
officially licensed for PlayStation®4, featuring 15 tachometer LEDs, 6
marshalling LEDs, a central numeric display gear indicator, and 2 side
alphanumeric display areas!
3.8 V / 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery:

wheels: T-GT / T500 RS / T300 Series / T150 and T80; and also with
DUALSHOCK®4 controllers
Already compatible with the games F1 2017, DiRT 4, WRC 7, Project CARS
2 and Gravel. The list of compatible PS4™ games is available at
https://support.thrustmaster.com (on the BT LED Display page), and is
updated regularly.
TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge
Edition
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Ferrari® brand, Thrustmaster
presents the TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition racing wheel.
TS-PC RACER, a powerhouse of technologies created to enhance gaming
performance and offer a racing experience closer to reality, now comes
with a replica of the wheel of the real Ferrari 488 Challenge car,
officially licensed by Ferrari®.
Replica officially licensed by
Ferrari® for Windows®
9:10 scale replica of Ferrari 488 Challenge wheel
12.6”/32 cm in diameter
Brushless Force Feedback system
40-watt brushless servomotor with Motor Cooling Embedded system (patent
pending). The motor is able to support intensive use during long hours
of e-racing competition without any decrease in performance.
Polyurethane and Alcantara® + LEDs and rotary buttons
15 built-in LEDs for tachometer function (RPM).
Hand-stitched wrapping crafted of the same Alcantara® material imported
from Italy as that used on genuine Ferrari® wheels.
2 rotary buttons with push function.
Turbo Power power supply
Toroidal shape with finless design: 86% efficiency (vs. 65% efficiency
for standard finned power supplies).
Realistic "competition" wheel design
9:10 scale replica (12.6”/32 cm in diameter) of the wheel of the real
Ferrari 488 Challenge car, officially licensed by Ferrari®.
Face plate and 2 paddle shifters crafted of black brushed anodized
metal.
15 built-in LEDs for tachometer function (RPM).
2 directional pads (D-pads) with push function + 2 rotary buttons with
push function + 8 action buttons
= 26 programmable functions in total!
Hand-stitched wrapping crafted of the same Alcantara® material imported
from Italy as that used on genuine Ferrari® wheels.
Thrustmaster TS-PC servo base, and detachable Ferrari 488 Challenge
wheel with metal face plate. Ecosystem-ready.
2 large, wheel-mounted sequential paddle shifters (5.5”/14 cm tall –
100% metal – Tact switch with life cycle exceeding 500,000 activations).
Powerful brushless servomotor Force Feedback base
Very responsive 40-watt motor for particularly dynamic and powerful
effects, plus enhanced feedback.
The TS-PC RACER’s motor provides powerful 40-watt brushless Force
Feedback and incredible velocity (dynamic torque): from long stall
curves (STALL mode) to super-responsive zigzags (DYNAMIC mode).
Cooling
Motor Cooling Embedded system (patent pending): maintains dynamics with
the new motor by ensuring that there is no overheating and while
remaining silent. Provides 50% more dynamics, 4 times greater stall
force and heat dissipation via monophasic cooling**.
H.E.A.R.T and F.O.C.
Field Oriented Control: H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology)
provides 16-bit resolution (65,536 values), while the new field
oriented control (F.O.C.) algorithm dynamically optimizes the response
to intense torque demands. The motor responds dynamically and swiftly
to increased torque requirements, thereby offsetting and preventing
losses in terms of power.
Power supply
External TURBO POWER power supply delivers constant power and massive
peak power, to instantly respond to ultra-fast requests from the game.
Toroidal-shaped for optimized power efficiency of 86% (with just 14%
heat generation), with a finless design. Peak power: 400 watts!
And more…
Mixed belt-pulley and gears system (smoother, more fluid and less noisy
than helical gears) with metal ball-bearing axle.
Internal memory and upgradeable firmware.
Robust and versatile attachment system, compatible with all mounts
(desks, tables, etc.).
Compatibility
