For automotive collectors, the appeal of a rare Aston Martin has long extended beyond the road. Now, the marque is bringing the drama of endurance racing into the home with the launch of the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition, a limited-edition racing simulator developed in partnership with Curv Racing Simulators.
Mind you, this isn’t the first time the marquee has come up with a racing sim for the home. But this time around, the new offering is created to celebrate Aston Martin’s return to the top tier of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Valkyrie Hypercar programme, the simulator is limited to just 24 examples globally. Offered in race-inspired #007 and #009 liveries, each is finished in Aston Martin’s signature Podium Green, accented with either yellow or red detailing drawn directly from the competition cars.
Hand-built in the UK, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition occupies a space somewhere between high-performance engineering and collectible design. Its sculptural carbon-fibre monocoque houses advanced simulation technology within a form that reflects Aston Martin’s distinctive design language.
The experience itself has been shaped by Darren Turner, Aston Martin’s high-performance test driver and a three-time Le Mans class winner. Particular attention has been paid to authenticity, from the driving position—which mirrors that of the Aston Martin Valkyrie—to the newly introduced Valkyrie-inspired steering wheel. Built to order, each wheel can be personalised with bespoke colour configurations, adding a further layer of exclusivity.
A curved 49-inch display and NVIDIA RTX graphics complete the package, delivering a highly immersive driving environment designed to appeal to both serious sim racers and marque devotees. Priced at £58,750 before taxes, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is less a gaming accessory than a contemporary collector’s piece—a celebration of Aston Martin’s racing ambitions, distilled into an object of engineering precision and design theatre.
