If you’re looking for a truly fancy racing simulator, Aston Martin has got you covered with the new AMR-C01, which was developed in partnership with Curv Racing Simulators. As striking as it looks, this isn’t just some cash grab collaboration, as there was some real engineering involved in its creation.
For starters, the man behind Curv is Aston Martin works driver Darren Turner, who is a simulator specialist with over 20 years of experience in cutting edge Formula 1 simulation. The entire assembly process is done by hand, using the highest quality components and latest Assetto Corsa software to ensure a worthwhile experience.
“The AMR-C01 is all about the love of racing. We’ve created a home simulator with incredible immersion that offers users the opportunity to have a great time racing in the virtual world, from the comfort of their own home. Our goal was to create a simulator that provided as much enjoyment in virtual reality as real racing does. Racing cars is a lot of fun and it is great to see that with the growth of eSports racing, more people are now getting involved,” said Turner.
All that hardware is packaged within a carbon-fibre monocoque that was designed to mirror the Valkyrie. In fact, the driving position of the racing simulator is modelled on the futuristic hypercar, with a racing-style steering wheel and curved widescreen monitor.
If you want one, you’ll be glad to know that the AMR-C01 comes in a variety of colours and graphics, with deliveries set to take place in the fourth quarter of 2020. Downsides? Well, only 150 examples will be made, and each one will cost you a cool 57,500 pounds sterling (RM305,592) including tax, which is enough for two full-spec Honda Civics and a Perodua Bezza 1.0G AT. Want one?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Like a hightech jetski with a screen in front.
Now you can drive fast without getting killed or killing someone else.
Build the highest specification PC, buy Logitech driving gears, gaming chair, Forza Horizon 4, and still got plenty of cash left to buy a C-segment car in cash. And still plenty of cash for years of maintenance for it.
Dmn… the rich just wanted to show off.
With that price I’d buy me a small 2nd hand sports car, fully modify it for racing, and track the hell out of it instead of staying static behind a screen. Oh… but if that’s what they really want, fully specced gaming pc complete with VR, foot pedal and steering wheel joystick will cost only fraction of this thing. Not like they care anyway.
You’re speaking from the perspective of an average Joe. The buyer for this probably has 20 or more sports cars plus an actual Aston valkyrie at home. Still ridiculously overpriced though, I don’t understand the point of the carbon tub, it serves 0 purpose besides bragging rights.
I have been a good good girl all these while…….but I have never receive this Sim from Santa. So sad….
