The ultimate racing simulator?

The US$191,000 Cruden Hexatech is a dream comes true for car racing enthusiasts. To faithfully reproduce realistic driving dynamics, the simulator features a "floating platform" supported by six motion actuators. They're controlled using a proprietary motion and force feedback system and race manager software. In the visuals department, the Cruden simulator is equipped with three massive 42-inch displays for an extended peripheral view of the tracks and circuits.

For a finishing touch, the kit includes an authentic Sparco seat coupled with a steering wheel that offers near 100 percent feedback accuracy according to the company's website. Hardcore car simulation fans with deep pockets can contact Cruden's office in Australia, which manages Asia-Pacific markets.
