- The team at Prodrive have revealed their latest racing simulator, conceived by former F1 team principal David Richards and designed by automotive icon Ian Callum.
- The upgraded 2025 edition features an upgraded Bang & Olufsen sound system, but also bespoke detailing from Connolly, Pendennis, and Vaughtons.
- The 2025 edition of the Prodrive racing simulator is currently inviting expressions of interest, with an unconfirmed price in excess of ยฃ40,000 (AU$82,000).
The rising popularity of simulator racing has shown zero signs of slowing down. But just as not all track cars are made equal, neither are their virtual equivalents.
Prodrive has now unveiled an updated version of its staggeringly beautiful racing simulator (check out the old one here); complete with a sound system from the audio wizards over at Bang & Olufsen and leather interiors from the storied Connolly workshop.
Almost everything worth lusting over is defined by its details. So while the 2025 Prodrive racing simulator might resemble its predecessor from across the room, upon closer inspection, youโll find exactly where the team have stepped things up.
In fact, the only components itโs really retained are the Pendennis steam-formed beech hoop frame from legendary British car designer Ian Callum (the brains behind the famed โ01 Aston Martin, Jaguar F-Type) and that gorgeous carbon-fibre monocoque cockpit. Pretty much everything else has been updated.
With 140 years of history behind them, the team at Connolly have provided the bespoke leather interior with customisable colours, stitching, and even family crests available at request. Additionally, Vaughtons โ the makers of Aston Martinโs winged badges โ are responsible for the uniquely engraved plaques found on every unit.
From a technical standpoint, Bangโฏ&โฏOlufsen has been chosen to provide the BeoplayโฏHX or H100 headphones for the audio, with the further option of a BeosoundโฏA9 speaker wrapped in personalised fabric. The display has also been kicked up a notch with the 49โinch curved 5K screen, while the intricately designed LMโฏPro steering wheel and adjustable pedals are courtesy of Precision Sim Engineering.
Availabilities are handled directly by Bangโฏ&โฏOlufsen Mayfair, Harrods, AutoโฏVivendi London, or via Prodriveโs concierge service. Pricing, on the other hand, remains unconfirmed. Though considering the previous generation is understood to have cost approximately ยฃ40,000 (AU$82,000), weโd anticipate it to cost more.
