Aston Martin & Curv Racing Develop Valkyrie-Inspired Hypercar Simulator

Aston Martin and Curv Racing Simulators have launched the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition, a limited-edition racing simulator celebrating the Aston Martin Valkyries competing in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Limited to 24 examples worldwide, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is available in distinct #007 and #009 race-inspired liveries. Finished in Aston Martin Podium Green with contrasting yellow or red accents, the Hypercar Edition captures the spirit of Aston Martin’s Le Mans challengers in a racing simulator designed for collectors and driving enthusiasts, company officials said in a press release.

Developed by Aston Martin high-performance test driver, three-time Le Mans class winner and founder of Curv Racing Simulators, Darren Turner, the simulator mirrors the driving position of the Aston Martin Valkyrie and pairs a curved 49-inch display with NVIDIA RTX graphics. New for the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is an Aston Martin Valkyrie steering wheel. Each steering wheel is built to order and can be personalized with bespoke side and rotary color configurations.

“When we started developing the Hypercar Edition, the focus was on the driving position, steering feel and racing experience,” Turner said. “Those details are what make a simulator believable. We wanted it to feel as close as possible to sitting in the Valkyrie Hypercar.”

“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. 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,” added Marek Reichman, executive vice president and chief creative officer of Aston Martin.

Hand-built to order in the UK, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition features a carbon-fiber monocoque that houses the simulator’s technology within an elegant, architectural silhouette.

The AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is now available to order, priced at £58,750 (approximately $74,600 USD at current exchange rates) plus taxes.
