Thrustmaster's $750 TGT III Wheel Brings Gear-Shift Haptics to Gran Turismo 7

Thrustmaster revealed the TGT III on October 3, a $750 PS5 and PS4 racing wheel built with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi and due this Christmas. It uses a Direct Axial Drive motor and adds GT7-specific haptics: Gear Jolt for every shift and Engine Roar, which vibrates the base in time with RPM. Thrustmaster says it will keep updating the wheel alongside the game.
