Aston Martin has partnered with Curv Racing Simulators to unveil a new ultra-premium racing setup called the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition. Designed to celebrate Aston Martin’s upcoming return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the simulator brings the feel of real endurance racing into a luxury home setup built for serious collectors and motorsport fans.
Production is extremely limited, with only 24 units available worldwide. Each simulator is styled after Aston Martin’s Valkyrie hypercar race program, featuring design cues inspired by the #007 and #009 endurance cars. Buyers can choose liveries finished in signature Podium Green, accented with either yellow or red highlights to reflect the brand’s racing identity.
The simulator itself is built around a rigid carbon-fiber monocoque chassis that replicates the seating position of the real Valkyrie race car. The goal is to closely match the driving posture and feel of a professional endurance racing cockpit. Development was led by Aston Martin test driver and Le Mans class winner Darren Turner, who worked to ensure the simulator delivers as realistic an experience as possible within a static setup.
Unlike motion-based racing rigs, this system does not move physically. Instead, it focuses on precision ergonomics and immersive control. One of its standout features is an electronically adjustable pedal system that can slide up to 200mm, allowing users to fine-tune their driving position for comfort and realism. All of this is housed within a carefully engineered carbon enclosure designed to keep the system stable and clean.
At the center of the experience is a custom-designed steering wheel inspired directly by Aston Martin’s actual race hardware. Built from a mix of carbon fiber and aluminum, it features silicone grips for control and durability. The wheel includes nine rotary dials, twelve programmable buttons, magnetic paddle shifters, and a built-in five-inch display that gives drivers real-time racing data while on track.
The simulator is powered by a high-performance gaming PC equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 50 Series GPU, an Intel processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. Visual output is delivered through a 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G95C curved display with a 240Hz refresh rate and ultra-fast response time, designed for smooth and responsive racing gameplay.
To complete the experience, the system comes preloaded with Assetto Corsa, one of the most popular racing simulation titles. It also includes built-in speakers and a Sennheiser headset for immersive audio. With a price tag of around $80,000 USD before taxes, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is positioned as a top-tier luxury item for enthusiasts who want a near-professional racing experience at home.
