Pininfarina's Racing Simulator Costs More Than A Porsche Taycan Turbo

一个s technology has rapidly evolved, popular racing games likeGran TurismoandForza Motorsporthave become more realistic than ever before, virtually replicating the thrill of driving the world's fastest cars like theBugatti Chiron. For maximum immersion, you need a fancy racing rig with a steering wheel, pedals, and driving seat.

If you have money to burn, a state-of-the-art racing simulator developed by Italian design house Pininfarina, which recently unveiled the1,900-hp electric Battista hypercar, is being auctioned this month in Switzerland, where it's expected to sell for six figures. Created in collaboration with The Classic Car Trust (TCCT), the "Leggenda" racing simulator was built to celebrate Pininfarina's 90th anniversary last year.

The first of only nine ever made at Pininfarina's factory in Cambiano, Italy, the design of the Leggenda Simulator is inspired by the Cisitalia 202, a two-seat grand tourer designed by Pininfarina in the 1940s, although it can only seat one person. As you would expect for such an expensive, state-of-the-art racing simulator, the attention to detail is extraordinary. As a homage to classic sports cars of the era, the Leggenda Simulator features a Nardi wood steering wheel, manual gear lever, a three-pedal setup, and a Hanhart chronometer integrated into the dashboard. High-quality Marrone Tobacco-shade Connolly leather adorns the cabin, which is enclosed in an exterior shell finished in Argento Vivo.
