The Thrustmaster Hypercar Wheel Add-On is a new premium wheel rim designed for use with the company's T818 and T598 direct drive racing wheel bases. It features an oval shape inspired by high-end "hypercar" vehicles, with a lightweight aluminum faceplate, Alcantara and perforated leather trim, and unique forged carbon accents.
The wheel includes 25 action buttons, a d-pad, four rotary aluminum dials, two magnetic paddle shifters, and two analog triggers that can be configured as a clutch system. It also has two customizable LED lights to display race information. Measuring 12.6 inches wide and weighing 1,433 grams, the Hypercar Wheel Add-On will retail for $399 / €399 and is available for pre-order now, with deliveries expected to begin on November 29, 2024.
The Hypercar Wheel is compatible with the T818 and T598 direct drive wheel bases on PC, as well as the T598 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles. Thrustmaster states it will also work with all of their future direct drive wheel bases without requiring a special adapter.
Overall, the Thrustmaster Hypercar Wheel Add-On appears to be a premium, feature-rich option for sim racers looking to upgrade the wheel on their direct drive setup, with a design and control layout inspired by high-performance road cars.
