Can’t afford a Pagani Huayra R? This carbon-fibre racing simulator is the next best thing

This Pagani carbon-fibre driving simulator is said to be as close as you can get to driving the real Huayra R – without leaving the house.

Racing simulators are much like the real racing cars they’re meant to mimic – they can be as simple, or as detailed as wallets allow.

But the latest creation from Italian hypercar specialist Pagani takes the racing simulator to another level.

The bespoke Pagani Huayra R Driving Simulator is developed in partnership with simulator specialist Racing Unleashed, and is said to blend aspects of each company into one of the most technically advanced simulators on the market.

Pagani’s involvement entails carbon-fibre bodywork developed using the same autoclaves as real Pagani cars.

The green-tinted carbon fibre envelops a seating position said to match that of the full-size Pagani Huayra R.

The Italian company’s craftsmanship continues to metal stands housing the monitor and speakers milled from a single piece of aluminium, and the use of air vents typical of its hypercars, which help to cool the onboard computer’s processors.

Supporting components include hydraulic-assisted AP Racing brake pedals, also found in the Huayra R, and a single ultra-wide Samsung G9 monitor.

Beneath the bodywork, there are motion platforms enabling three axes of movement, a dynamic seatbelt system, and a powerful gaming computer to run the screens.

The simulator is paired with the professional version of popular racing simulator Assetto Corsa.

Using the software’s physics and sounds to mimic the real-life experience of driving a Huayra R, the simulator is claimed to use ‘kicker’ speakers and motors in the seat to emulate the V12 engine’s sounds and vibrations.

It is even claimed to be capable of mimicking the sensations felt when the car’s anti-lock brakes are applied.

Included with the simulator is a dedicated wooden flight case to transport the entire package.

For now the unique simulator is only available to customers who have bought a real Pagani Huayra R, as a means to get drivers familiar with the car in an environment where crashing has far fewer consequences.

However Pagani has said the simulator will be made available at a later date through its international dealer network.

No price has been shared for the detailed racing simulator, but as racing simulators go, it is likely to be high on the spectrum for price.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.

But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
