Aston Martin AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition: a Valkyrie-inspired sim, almost the price of a car

Aston Martin and Curv Racing unveil the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition — a £58,750 racing simulator inspired by the Valkyrie Le Mans cars, limited to just 24 units.
Aston Martin marked the return of the Valkyrie to Le Mans not with another press release about the race, but with a collector's item. Together with Curv Racing, the brand unveiled the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition — a high-end racing simulator inspired by the Valkyrie machines built for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The core idea is to put the owner as close as possible to the sensations of a hypercar driver. The seating position mirrors that of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the driver is surrounded by a carbon-fibre monocoque, and a 49-inch curved display powered by NVIDIA RTX graphics sits front and centre.
A separate part of the project is the Valkyrie-style steering wheel. It can be configured to order, including bespoke colour options for the side and rotary elements. The design features 9 rotary dials, 12 buttons, a full-colour LCD display and dual-clutch paddles with an adjustable bite point.
The carbon-fibre body will be offered in two finishes — #007 and #009. Both replicate the liveries of the racing Valkyries that Aston Martin is fielding at Le Mans, finished in Aston Martin Podium Green with contrasting yellow or red accents.
The project was developed with input from Curv Racing Simulators founder Darren Turner — a three-time Le Mans class winner. According to him, the simulator should bring the user as close as possible to the feeling of actually sitting inside a Valkyrie.
The AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is hand-built to order in the UK and limited to just 24 examples. The price — £58,750 plus taxes. The standard AMR-C01-R, shown in the spring of 2025, was produced in a run of 50 units and quickly found buyers.
This is not an accessory for someone who simply wants to play in the evening. It's another collectible Aston Martin — just without the engine, the fuel, and the risk of wrecking a hypercar at the first corner.
