  "account": "Thrustmaster has unveiled its latest addition to the Gran Turismo series, the T-GT III Steering Wheel, designed specifically for Gran Turismo 7 and compatible with both PS4 and PS5 consoles. The steering wheel is part of a new era for the well-known T-GT series and comes in a Direct Axial Drive bundle for the first time. Priced at $749.99, £649.99, or €699.99, the T-GT III will be available for purchase on December 3.\n\nThe package includes the T-GT III steering wheel, featuring a leather finish and four rotary encoders specifically mapped for Gran Turismo 7. Engineered to meet the demands of the most serious sim racers, the T-GT III embodies Thrustmaster's expertise and offers an authentic and immersive racing experience. This steering wheel stands out as the first in the T-GT series to incorporate a load-cell pedal set and deliver a constant torque of 5 Nm, with an overshoot capacity of up to 10 Nm.\n\nThrustmaster's Harmony technology and high-frequency torque ensure ultra-low latency and instant responsiveness. Additionally, the steering wheel offers purpose-built haptic effects, including Gear Jolt and Engine Roar, which simulate gear shifts and chassis resonance based on the engine's RPM. Thrustmaster's partnership with Gran Turismo has been long-standing, allowing them to continually enhance the driving experience through software and firmware updates. These updates, such as Spec IV, will be released periodically to keep up with Gran Turismo's evolving specifications, ensuring long-term support for players.",
