Aston Martin + Curv Simulators Announce AMR-C01 Simulator

It’s beautiful. It probably cost a lot to make because of the materials. It feels wrong. I want one.

Samsung screen? Same one I have. $1000 if you overpay.
Wheel, pedals? You could possibly get a similar feel and look for perhaps $10k (unless there’s something amazing about them that isn’t obvious).
Cockpit offering same position and feel? $4k+
Cost of the Aston Martin name and exotic materials? $55k (plus tax, I guess).

I like Darren Turner (Curv founder, AMR racing driver) a lot; I’ve spoken to him and we have done business together. I just have to be honest with this news post and say how this makes me feel… This product isn’t for sim racers, and not to begrudge someone else trying to kickstart a new business in 2020, it feels a little dirty to see the £57,500 ($70k+) plus tax price tag right now. But, thinking aloud, 2020 isn’t his fault, is it? If I had the money I’d probably go ahead and buy it. Damn it.
