On the occasion of the ADAC SimRacing Expo, Thrustmaster is thrilled to unveil its latest high-end steering wheel: the Hypercar Wheel Add-On. Immerse yourself in the demanding, prestigious atmosphere of luxury cars with Hypercar Wheel Add-On - an oval-shaped wheel rim featuring ergonomics inspired by incredibly-powerful hypercars.
Discover an uncompromising design combining elegance and performance. You'll appreciate its sophisticated craftmanship, made from premium materials with meticulous attention to details. The grip surfaces are wrapped in leather and Alcantara, ensuring a firm and comfortable handling. Alcantara, the cutting-edge Made in Italy material, is also renowned for its use in the interiors of the world's most iconic Hypercars. Its superior durability, lightweight feel and unique soft-touch finish bring an added touch of refinement.
The wheel rim is harmonious, sturdy and lightweight, with an aluminium central faceplate enhanced by a forged carbon component specific to each unit. Enjoy a full-featured interface: 25 action buttons including 4 rotary encoders, magnetic paddle shifters, 2 LEDs and 2 configurable analog triggers with clutch assist function for better responsiveness. Hypercar Wheel Add-On is compatible with T818, T598 and future Thrustmaster racing wheel bases on PS5/PS4, and PC (Windows 10/11).
INSPIRED BY EXCELLENCE
Hypercar Wheel Add-On boasts an uncompromising design combining elegance and performance. Exceptionally well-built, this wheel rim features a distinctive oval shape, and ergonomics directly inspired by luxurious, incredibly-powerful hypercars.
HIGH-GRADE MATERIALS
Hypercar Wheel Add-On embodies excellence right down to its finishes, thanks to the combination of high-grade materials employed. The grip surfaces (wrapped in meticulously-topstitched leather) provide firm and comfortable handling, while Alcantara adds an additional touch of refinement.
PERFECT HARMONY
Hypercar Wheel Add-On harmoniously blends sturdiness with lightweight design: it incorporates an aluminium central faceplate for optimal rigidity and less weight (just 1,433 g). Each wheel rim features a forged carbon component specific to that unit, providing a distinctive touch.
EQUIPPED FOR PERFORMANCE
Hypercar Wheel Add-On features a comprehensive, ergonomic interface designed to satisfy the most demanding race drivers. There are 2 user-configurable LEDs able to display race information, and 25 action buttons (including 4 rotary encoders crafted of aluminium) allowing the user to react quickly. The metal paddle shifters incorporate magnetic sensors, for instant gear shifting.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL TRIGGERS
Take the lead right from the start, thanks to the fully-configurable front analog triggers and the clutch assist function. Used as a dual clutch, the analog triggers let the user configure the biting point and get off to a lightning-fast start. List of compatible games available on the Thrustmaster support website.
PURELY NEXT-GEN
Hypercar Wheel Add-On is equipped with the next-gen Quick Release system and is natively compatible with T818, T598 and all future Thrustmaster racing wheel bases - for a pure experience, without the need for a special adapter.
