- AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is inspired by Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercars competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
- Built in partnership with Curv Racing Simulators, headed by Le Mans winner Darren Turner
- Carbon fibre monocoque simulator costs £58,750 plus taxes, limited to 24 units
A new Aston Martin-branded simulator has been unveiled, joining the British car manufacturer’s previous AMR-C01 and AMR24 efforts.
And, like the previous two simulators, the new AMR-C01-R Hypercar is expensive. Very expensive. £58,750 plus taxes, in fact.
Inspired by the brand’s Valkyrie Hypercar, which will race in this weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is constructed from carbon fibre and features a 49-inch Samsung G95C curved display and ‘NVIDIA RTX graphics’. Presumably, at nearly £59k, this means it’ll have a GTX 5090…

24 of the hand-built simulators will be offered to discerning customers, with Curv Racing Simulators handling assembly and manufacturing. The firm, run by former Le Mans winner and Aston Martin Racing factory driver Darren Turner, focuses on creating bespoke simulator solutions in partnership with the Gaydon-based marque.
The simulators are available in #007- and #009-inspired liveries with yellow and red accents, respectively, and both showcase bespoke Valkyrie Hypercar steering wheels.
“When we started developing the Hypercar Edition, the focus was on the driving position, steering feel, and racing experience,” said Turner. “Those details are what make a simulator believable. We wanted it to feel as close as possible to sitting in the Valkyrie Hypercar,” he continued.
“The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the most extreme and uncompromising Aston Martins ever created, and that character translates naturally into the Curv Racing Simulator Hypercar Edition,” stated Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin.
“Influenced directly by the Le Mans race cars, while retaining the sculptural form and proportion that sit at the heart of Aston Martin design. This is pure excitement and emotion,” he concluded.
