Aston Martin and Curv have revealed the first looks on their new creation – the AMR-C01, a racing sim which is set to revolutionise the world of virtual racing.
Expect to see the best of both design and performance, as the AMR-C01 has been designed by Aston Martin and engineered by Curv, a company led by Aston Martin works driver and simulator specialist, Darren Turner. The racing sim offers a full carbon fibre body and the seating position mirrors are similar to that of the Valkyrie.
A press release states that the AMR-C01 utilises the latest technology to provide a fully immersive and luxurious driving experience for users.
“This was a challenge for the design team as, although the simulator isn’t a car, it is inspired by our racing cars,” Marek ReichmanIt, Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, said in a statement. “It needed to exude the same elegance, boasting the same dynamic lines and balance of proportions as any Aston Martin with a racing lineage. I can picture the AMR-C01 in the most beautiful of residences as a sculptural work of art in its own right.”
In terms of the virtual racing experience, the makers promise that the AMR-C01 will be as close to real life racing as it gets.
“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,” Darren Turner, a simulator specialist with over 20 years’ experience in Formula 1 simulation and the leader of Curv, said. “Our goal was to create a simulator that provided as much enjoyment in virtual reality as real racing does.”
The AMR-C01 will be priced at $74,000 and only 150 examples will be available for purchase. Bookings are currently open, and deliveries are scheduled to start in Q4 2020.
