For just about the same price as a new Audi R8 V8, you could bag yourself a R1 507 200 Hexatech racing simulator. Released just in time for the Christmas holidays, the Hexatech guarantees to give its owners the ultimate virtual racing experience thanks to its g-force simulation, full motion shifts, seat belt tensioners and über-realistic steering feedback. Said to be good for up to 15-years of constant “driving abuse,” this intricate simulator can either be specced with three “wrap-around” 42-inch plasma screens or, if you’d prefer, a pair of stereo projectors with which to enjoy your high-speed virtual world. And to ensure broad market appeal, the Hexatech allows you to race anything from 24-hour sports car enduros in Europe to intense NASCAR duals on some of America’s most famous speedways. Sounds mighty impressive to me but, considering that unworldly price tag, I guess I’ll just have to make do with a PS3 and a copy of GT 5.
