Thrustmaster Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition Revealed: Everything You Need to Know

Thrustmaster has officially revealed the Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition, and this is very clearly not a normal wheel launch. This thing is being positioned as a collector-focused endurance racing product first and a mainstream sim racing release second, which makes sense the second you look at what is actually being offered. It is a limited-run wheel built with Ferrari and 24H Le Mans, based on the Ferrari 499P that took victory in the centenary edition of the race.

And honestly, Thrustmaster is not being subtle about the target audience here. This is for the buyer who wants something special, something branded around one of the biggest recent moments in endurance racing, and something that leans just as hard into presentation and collectability as it does into actual use on a rig. Whether that justifies the asking price is going to be the real debate, but as a product reveal, it is definitely one of the more striking ones Thrustmaster has done in a while.

That limited-run approach is a big part of the pitch. Thrustmaster is not only selling a wheel here, it is selling a piece of Le Mans-themed memorabilia that also happens to be functional sim racing hardware. That distinction matters, because it explains both the feature set and the price much more clearly.

The feature list is genuinely serious

Underneath the collector angle, there is still a lot of actual hardware here. Thrustmaster says the wheel uses a hand-applied molded carbon fiber back cover and comes with 6 adjustable paddles, made up of 2 carbon fiber shift paddles and 4 analog metal paddles with customizable functions. That already puts it in a much more serious category than a simple licensed shell.

On the front, the wheel integrates 11 buttons, a subtly embedded D-pad, 4 aluminum thumb encoders, and 3 additional rotary encoders, with Thrustmaster saying the full setup allows up…
