Sim racing is the best way to showcase your racing or gaming skills if you didn’t make the cut to the big league. Serious gamers always want to invest in a racing simulator that takes them one step closer to intense wheel-to-wheel action. Depending on what’s the final budget, these rigs can be anything from a desk-mounted setup costing $300, a chassis for a few thousand, or a full-blown motion simulator costing $50,000 upwards.

If you’ve got a stack of money to spare you can go to another level though, with a sim rig that professional racers opt for. Along the same lines, Pagani has unveiled their Huayra R Driving Simulator which is designed in collaboration with Racing Unleashed, who are known for building some of the best high-end racing simulators out there.

Designer: Pagani and Racing Unleashed

Attention to detail is the key in this racing sim as it took more than a year to finalize the creation process. This racing simulator crafted at Pagani’s facilities is made out of a single piece of aluminum and adorns carbon fiber used in the original Huayra R supercar. The car’s dynamics right from aerodynamics and handling to the sound of the naturally aspirated V12 engine are replicated to millimeter precision. The seat belts, pedals, seats and steering wheel are identical to the ones on the real car. Wait there’s more… it also has air vents to release the brake and engine heat, making it one hell of a racing sim!

According to Franco Morsino, Vehicle Dynamics Lead at Pagani, “Our goal was to transcend the traditional boundaries of virtual driving, offering an unparalleled level of realism and immersion. This simulator is not just about the experience but also serves as a piece of art, reflecting the unique essence of Pagani’s design philosophy.” Pagini will only offer this racing sim to Pagani owners to test and compete with their powerful machines on FIA tracks in virtual reality. Taking realism to the next level, the sim can also be run in conjunction with a VR headset. Otherwise, the racer/gamer can opt to race on the single curved ultra-wide Samsung G9 monitor. Apart from the Huayra R, the simulator also gets the custom physics-focused version of the Assetto Corsa.

Pagani has not revealed any details about the pricing but given its level of realism and design uniqueness, it should very well run into a $100,000 (or more) price tag. On the hind side that’s way less than the track-only Pagani Huayra R costing $3 million.

Showcasing concepts like these always feels bittersweet, because while they look absolutely gorgeous on paper (or on a screen, in this instance), there’s a slight deal of sadness in knowing that concepts like these are just objects of fantasy, created by designers who just want to make beautiful things.

Meet the Pagani Amaru, a conceptual hyperbike created by Indian designer Vishruth Kumar. Designed to capture the wild spirit often associated with Pagani’s one-of-a-kind hypercars, the Amaru is, in fact, named after a legendary beast found Andean mythology. It’s safe to say that for an automobile named after a mythical water dragon, the Amaru certainly looks the part, with a curvaceous body that feels like a serpent-head emerging out of water, and dual headlights that resemble a menacing pair of reptilian eyes.

The single-seater hyperbike features a unique unibody design that comes with an integrated form that seamlessly goes from cowl to tank to taillight. Its unbroken form comes with a hollow space in front that provides space for the handlebars to appear through. The overall stylings are a hat-tip to the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, says Vishruth (I knew those headlights and rocket-exhaust-shaped taillights looked familiar!) Even though the Amaru exists as a concept, there’s enough detail for it to be taken seriously… for instance, the hyperbike comes fitted with a liquid-cooled in-line 4-cylinder AMG Engine for power and performance, while the bike’s unique bodywork can be attributed to a special carbo-titanium alloy that provides it with a high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the otherwise voluminous and beastly bike to effortlessly zip through roads as an aquatic predator would hurtle through water!
