With the rise of online racing and lots of folks stuck inside for the near future, Aston Martin is betting that motorsports enthusiasts will be willing to pay top dollar for a high-end, at-home racing simulator.
The luxury carmaker teamed up with Curv Racing Simulators to build the AMR-C01, a $74,000 rig that takes design cues from Aston Martin’s Valkyrie track car. The unit sports a wholly unnecessary carbon-fiber tub, a Formula One-style steering wheel, and a driving position that mimics the Valkyrie.
Aston Martin says the simulator is a great choice for esports enthusiasts and professional drivers alike, and expects that it will “make a stylish addition to any luxury games room.”
