Thrustmaster does Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel for the Xbox 360

If you happen to own an Xbox 360 and love all kinds of racing games, then chances are you will be totally at home with that Thrustmaster has in store for you – the Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel which was specially developed for the Xbox 360. Bear in mind that this steering wheel will not feature dual carburettors and overhead camshafts, but what it does carry would be a couple of official licenses from Ferrari and Xbox 360, making this an exclusive worldwide collaboration.

The Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel is a replica of the Forza Motorsport 4 hero vehicle, where it delivers an ideal combination to enjoy a truly immersive gaming experience. True blue racing enthusiasts would definitely fall in love with this particular model from Thrustmaster, don’t you think so?

Ferrari themselves have declared that they will not be churning out an electric version of their sports cars in the future, although they are hard at work with a hybrid version that we have not seen yet. The Maranello engineers’ latest flagship, the Ferrari 458 Italia, is the main inspiration behind this creation of a replica steering wheel.

One side of the Ferrari 458 Italia will be an exclusive racing wheel that boasts a large number of controls, while the other would be an Xbox 360 controller that requires controls which are specific to this console. The Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel for Xbox 360 by Thrustmaster brings together the best of both worlds, merging a truly unique design with exceptional ergonomics.

All the various action buttons and controls can be easily reached with your fingers, so it is a snap to customize all the relevant settings before your big race loads up. Measuring 11″ in diameter, the wheel boasts a rubber-textured grip that will let help you improve your best lap times consistently. Of course, if you still are unable to do so, then chances are you might not be cut out as a race driver, no?

Expect the Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel for Xbox360 to hit the markets this October for $89.99.
