Aston Martin’s new home racing simulator is peak luxury for gamers

Aston Martin and Curv Racing Simulators have unveiled the AMR-C01-R, an exclusive carbon fiber racing simulator rig that combines motorsport technology with advanced graphics and stylish design. Only 50 will be made and the price starts at—wait for it—about $75,000.

The new model builds on the first AMR-C01 that launched in 2020, but has been upgraded with a new seating design inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. Improved ergonomics allow taller drivers to sit comfortably, while a repositioned button panel and improved grille provide better usability and cooling.

As for the gaming hardware, here’s what you’ll find inside:

• 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G95C curved display (with 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and HDR10+)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card
• Intel 14th-generation processor
• 32GB of DDR5 RAM
• 2TB of M.2 SSD storage

All of this is built into a carbon fiber monocoque with Aston Martin’s iconic front grille. The steering motor feels like a real racing car with its precision feedback and high torque response, and the steering wheel itself has 9 rotary dials, 12 push buttons, an LCD display, dual-clutch paddles, and carbon fiber gear shifter paddles.

This is as close as it gets to hopping in a Formula car and driving it around without actually hopping into one. Former F1 driver Darren Turner describes it as “the ultimate racing simulator for those who demand the very best.” I reckon so.
