The AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is a limited-production racing simulator developed by Aston Martin and Curv Racing Simulators to celebrate Aston Martin’s return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Limited to 24 units worldwide, the simulator draws visual inspiration from the #007 and #009 Valkyrie Hypercar race cars, incorporating Podium Green bodywork with contrasting motorsport accents. Hand-built in the United Kingdom, the simulator is centered around a rigid carbon-fiber monocoque and a fixed seating position engineered to replicate the ergonomics of the Aston Martin Valkyrie race car.
The setup features a bespoke aluminum and carbon-fiber steering wheel equipped with magnetic paddle shifters, dual-clutch controls, nine rotary dials, twelve programmable buttons, and an integrated five-inch display. A motorized pedal box provides 200 millimeters of adjustment travel, as a 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G95C curved monitor delivers visuals at a 240Hz refresh rate.
