The T248 sits between beginner wheels and Thrustmaster's high-end T300 series, built for players who've outgrown a gamepad or entry-level wheel but aren't ready for a full sim rig investment. Its HYBRID DRIVE system combines belt and gear mechanisms to deliver around 70% more power than Thrustmaster's older T150 series, giving noticeably stronger, more realistic force feedback.
Three force feedback presets — FFB1, FFB2, FFB3 — can be switched on the fly directly from the wheel, letting you tune resistance for tight F1-style circuits or looser rally and GT driving without pausing the game. A built-in dashboard display shows more than 20 telemetry and setting screens — RPM, gear, lap times, rotation angle — right on the wheel, without needing an app or overlay.
Gear changes run through H.E.A.R.T. magnetic paddle shifters with a 30ms response time, and the included T3PM pedal set uses fully magnetic, contactless sensors with 12-bit precision and four adjustable brake pressure modes — precision that doesn't degrade with wear the way older potentiometer-based pedals do. The leather-wrapped rim carries 25 action buttons, including two dual-position encoders, giving nearly double the mappable controls of Thrustmaster's older wheels. Rotation is adjustable from 270° to 900°.
It's officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and works via USB on PC, with plug-and-play compatibility across titles like Gran Turismo 7, F1 24, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and WRC.
