Thrustmaster preps $500 T500RS wheel for Gran Turismo

Thrustmaster will soon release the T500RS, a new steering wheel with Gran Turismo branding. The peripheral promises unrivaled accuracy but it's rumored to carry a price tag of $500, and that's without the optional H-pattern shifter.

But, Thrustmaster seems to have secured the license for the franchise now and is building a wheel called the T500RS which, if you go Thrustmaster.com, you can get a quick peek of -- or you can just look at the screengrab above. The wheel promises unrivaled accuracy and what looks to be the same sort of magnetic sensor technology used in the company's overwhelmingly beefy HOTAS Warthog controller.
