We Tried the World’s Most Expensive Racing Simulator


Dynisma’s $2 million rig is state of the art. Just ask Ferrari, which has one for its F1 team. Now a consumer model is in development, we decided to test the ultimate driving simulator.

Aeroplane sims don’t require very high frequency inputs (unless the flight is going very wrong indeed), but cars encounter speed bumps, rumble strips, sawtooth kerbs, cat’s eyes, and so on. Costs of a Dynisma rig start venture up to more than $12 million if you check everything on the spec list, including a wraparound 360-degree 240 fps 4K LED screen with audio package to match. You feel 5-millimeter steps in the asphalt through the seat; corners approach with alarming speed; your heart rate hits 200; when you crash you have genuine, palpable fear you're about to end your days.
