Cruden Hexatech Car Simulator Costs More Than Most Sports Cars
December 29th, 2009
This has got to be one of the ultimate car simulators out there. Naturally, all this awesomeness doesn’t come cheap, but hey, it’s the best!
You’ll spend $191,000 (USD) on this device, which is more than quite a few supercars. It’s called the Cruden Hexatech simulator and it kind of reminds me of those Battletech simulators that were all of the rage years ago. I always wanted to play in them, but never did.
This thing is completely suspended on a hydraulic tripod and allows you to simulate F1, NASCAR, WRC, as well as various 24-hour races like Le Mans. The rig allows you to receive feedback from the chassis, track, tire and suspension settings, drive trains, aero load, aero draft, steering, brakes, and various driver aids.
It comes with three 42-inch screens, but you can go bonkers and project images onto the walls of a specially built room. Sounds completely insane to me. If I had $191,000 to spare, I’d rather buy a real race car!

You are absolutely right! I would also have opted for something more economical that to spend $191,000 on a simulator. But, hey! there is a better alternative to it. Check out the new real-world driving simulator from Mercedes-Benz at http://clients.ccm-news.com/?client=Mercedes-Benz. I loved the features and functionality of the latest simulator of Mercedes-Benz. Sure you’d like it too.
