Aston Martin Unveils New Hypercar-Inspired Racing Simulator
Styled after the Aston Martin Valkyrie race car, the new simulator combines cutting-edge hardware with exclusive design.
Aston Martin has introduced a new high-end racing simulator inspired by the track-focused Valkyrie hypercar. Designed for virtual racing enthusiasts, the setup mirrors the look and driving position of the brand’s Le Mans machines.
The simulator was developed in partnership with Curv Racing, a company founded by Aston Martin test driver Darren Turner. Its carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is finished in the same colors used on the automaker’s endurance racers, while the seating position closely replicates that of a real competition car.
The steering wheel is also modeled after the one used in Aston Martin’s race prototype. Constructed from carbon fiber and aluminum, it features integrated buttons, paddle shifters and a built-in display.
Known as the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition, the simulator comes equipped with a curved 49-inch Samsung Odyssey monitor offering a 240-Hz refresh rate and a 1-millisecond response time. Power comes from an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics card paired with an Intel processor, 32 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2-terabyte solid-state drive.
Production of the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition will be limited to just 24 units worldwide. Pricing starts at approximately $80,000 per simulator.
