Thrustmaster recently showed off their new steering wheel for PC/PS3 which is supposedly a replica cockpit setup for a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. It really isn't an "exact" replica other then the wheel and pedals but it still has the Ferrari look and feel going on.



Kotaku:

"The PC and Playstation 3 racing rig uses a latency-free 2.4GHz wireless system, 50 hours of battery life on 4 AA batteries, an adjustable, rigid metal structure, detachable replica of the Ferrari F430 wheel, 2 metal pedals, gearshift levers, and a "genuine" Manettino dial with 5 backlit positions, to let you configure your wheel directly in the game."

Will only run you $250 for this great looking setup. Looks pretty bad ass and I'm sure the hardcore race simmers will appreciate this a lot more then I will but none the less it is one sweet looking piece of hardware.

Custom Built: AMD Phenom II X4 3.0GHz/G. Skill 12GB DDR3 1066Mhz/Crossfire ATI 6850's/3TB HDD

Macbook Pro: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz/4GB DDR3 1066MHz/Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT 256MB/320GB HDD

Wow, i'm glad the wheel is detachable just like on real race cars. So this way you can bolt your chair to the floor but still get out of it by taking off the stearing wheel.
How much were those complete Car seats that you had Wes? seems like if you were hard core enough, you'd want something like that if your dropping a few hundred, instead of something with the Ferrari logo. Bet that added $50 to the price... :unsure:
