Limited edition of 24 units of the brand's simulator replicates the driving position of the hypercar and celebrates the Valkyries that compete in Le Mans this month
Aston Martin has unveiled a special edition of its AMR-C01-R racing simulator to celebrate its participation in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Developed in partnership with Curv Racing Simulators, the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition is inspired by the Valkyrie racing hypercar and will be limited to 24 units worldwide. On sale to order, it costs £ 58,750 (about R$ 407 thousand), plus taxes.
The edition marks the brand’s second year in the hypercar category at Le Mans, with the pair of Valkyries numbers 007 and 009 competing in the French race this month.
The main novelty is the steering wheel, created based on the one used by the racing hypercar. Made to order, it features a digital telemetry display, customizable multi-colored rotary controls and the winged Aston Martin emblem in the center, in an attempt to reproduce the Valkyrie’s driving experience.

According to Darren Turner, Aston Martin test driver, three-time class champion at Le Mans and founder of Curv Racing Simulators, the focus of the project was to bring the feeling of driving the real hypercar as close as possible. To do this, the simulator adopts a reclined driving position inspired by the Valkyrie and is built on a carbon fiber monocoque structure.
The technological part goes hand in hand with refinement. The set uses a 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G95C curved monitor, with a refresh rate of 240 Hz, a response time of 1 ms and HDR10+ support. Processing is handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 card, with a 14th generation Intel processor, 32 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB SSD.
The Hypercar Edition is offered in two liveries that refer to the brand’s cars at Le Mans: #007, in Podium Green with yellow details, and #009, with red finishes. Assembled to order in the United Kingdom, the simulator is aimed at collectors and motorsport enthusiasts.
