Aston Martin and Curv unveils new luxury racing simulator

Aston Martin and Curv Racing Simulators introduces the new AMR-C01-R, an enhanced version of the exclusive AMR-C01, featuring precision ergonomics, cutting-edge hardware, and an even more immersive racing experience. Limited to just 50 examples, the new simulator builds on the pioneering collaboration between Aston Martin’s world-renowned design team and Curv Racing Simulators, led by three-time Le Mans winner and simulator specialist Darren Turner.

The AMR-C01-R retains the striking all-carbon fibre monocoque and signature Aston Martin Racing grille, designed to embody the elegance and performance synonymous with the brand. Now featuring a revised seating position inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the updated model offers improved ergonomics with further adjustment for enhanced comfort and accessibility—particularly for taller drivers.

Refined Control, Unrivalled Performance
The new switch panel has been repositioned for improved ergonomics, ensuring intuitive access to essential controls, while a sportier, more dynamic looking front grille has been redesigned to improve cooling.

Under the hood, the AMR-C01-R boasts significant technical upgrades. A state-of-the-art 49-inch G95C monitor with a 1000R curvature enhances immersion, while a 240Hz refresh rate (previously 120Hz) and 1ms response time (previously 4ms) deliver seamless, razor-sharp visuals. The addition of HDR10+ Gaming ensures richer colours and deeper contrasts for a more realistic racing environment.

The upgraded NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, a major leap from the previous-generation GPU, powers an ultra-responsive and true-to-life driving experience. Meanwhile, the latest Intel 14th-generation processor, 32GB DDR5 memory (up from 16GB), and 2TB M.2 SSD storage (double the previous capacity) ensure peak gaming performance and ample space for an extensive racing library.

Additionally, the redesigned PC chassis not only accommodates the latest hardware but also enhances cooling efficiency and accessibility for future upgrades—future-proofing the AMR-C01-R for years to come.

Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman said: “Curv’s latest simulator is an exciting continuation of the AMR-C01, which was launched in 2020. With improved performance, and a seating position inspired by Valkyrie, this is as close to driving an Aston Martin on-track that a racer will experience. The design itself, like any Aston Martin, will fit into a residence as a sculptural work of art, not just a traditional racing simulator.”

Darren Turner, founder of Curv Racing Simulators, said: “The AMR-C01 was a game-changer when it launched in 2020, and the AMR-C01-R takes it to the next level. We’ve refined the ergonomics and performance, to make it even more immersive, intuitive, and future-proof. For those who demand the very best, this is the ultimate racing simulator.”

Limited to just 50 units, the British-built AMR-C01-R is available to order now, with a base price of £58,750 plus tax.
