Thrustmaster Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition: the collector's wheel celebrating Le Mans legend

One Race. One Victory. One Masterpiece. With these three words, Thrustmaster announces its most exclusive product ever: the Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition, a sim racing wheel born from a historic collaboration between Thrustmaster, Ferrari, and 24H LE MANS, crafted to celebrate the unforgettable victory of the Ferrari 499P #51 at the centenary edition of the legendary French endurance race.

A museum piece — and a virtual track weapon

Limited to just 499 individually numbered units, this wheel is far more than a simulator accessory: it is a collector's piece destined to mark an era. Each unit comes with a steel display stand embossed with the Ferrari 499P and 24H LE MANS logos, transforming the wheel into a work of art to be displayed or deployed on the virtual track.

The scale is 1:1 with the original: Thrustmaster has faithfully reproduced the shapes and proportions of the real Ferrari Hypercar steering wheel that triumphed at Le Mans in 2023.

Hypercar-grade construction

The rear of the wheel is crafted from hand-applied molded carbon fiber, an artisanal process that directly echoes the world of high-end automotive manufacturing. The paddle system features 6 paddles in total: 2 carbon fiber shift paddles and 4 analog metal paddles with fully customizable functions, delivering absolute control over every aspect of driving.

The dimensions are substantial: 580 mm wide, 330 mm deep, and 135 mm tall, with a weight of 5.5 kg. A formidable piece, built for those who make no compromises.

Ferrari 499P Dashboard: up to 140 parameters at your fingertips

The technological heart of the wheel is a 4.3-inch (10.9 cm) LCD screen, faithfully replicating the dashboard of the real Ferrari 499P. This display can show up to 140 real-time parameters, making it one of the most complete telemetry instruments ever integrated into a sim racing wheel.

The experience is further enhanced by 12 RPM LEDs and 10 flag LEDs, which precisely replicate real race conditions, giving the virtual driver all the visual information needed — especially during the intense night driving sessions of endurance races.

Backlit interface and comprehensive controls

The front plate integrates 11 buttons and a subtly embedded D-pad, preserving the aesthetic authenticity of the original wheel without sacrificing sim racing functionality. Every control features backlit contours and markings, ensuring perfect readability in any lighting condition.

For on-the-fly adjustments, the wheel is equipped with 4 aluminum thumb encoders and 3 rotary encoders — adorned with the Italian flag, just as on the 2023 Ferrari 499P — totaling 25 configurable actions directly from the wheel.

A legendary collector's set

The box contents reflect the meticulous care with which this product was conceived:

• 1x Ferrari 499P Wheel Add-On Centenary Edition
• 1x Ferrari 499P Centenary Edition Powered Stand
• 1x USB Cable
• 1x Le Mans Ultimate redeem code with all content released as of 12/06/2026

The most precious detail, however, is the inclusion of two A3 collector's posters: the first is an official 24H LE MANS print by Automobilist with gold foil embossing, celebrating the historic 2023 victory; the second unveils the wheel's technical blueprint, showcasing every detail of its intricate design.

Le Mans Ultimate included

To complete the experience, the wheel includes the Le Mans Ultimate base game, along with the 2024 Season Pass and the ELMS Season Pass DLC, allowing the virtual driver to race the Ferrari 499P across every official round. A natural extension of this collector's piece, transforming it into a fully-fledged virtual driving experience.

Compatibility and specifications

The Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition is compatible with PC, PS5, and Xbox and is positioned for expert-level drivers, particularly those passionate about endurance racing. Officially licensed by Ferrari, it represents the absolute pinnacle of Thrustmaster's product lineup.
