Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator Blows Minds, Budgets

**Vertabreaker** · 05-15-2008, 07:52 AM

We have seen other cool racing simulators before, but the hand-made, individually-configured, and probably mindblowingly-expensive Motion Pro II by CXC Simulations is by far the most impressive of them all, with three 46-inch 1080p LCD displays, 505-watt 5.1 surround sound system—1,010 watts peak power—synchronized with four vibration transducers, and full motion simulation using electro-mechanical actuators to move your seat. And the tech-porn spec list doesn't stop there.

The combination of the actuators and the sound system vibration transducers are supposed to get you really close to actual racing simulation—minus the G-forces and the spinal cord injuries—but you can add even more details as an option, like a six-speed gated shifter and progressive clutch upgrade—just like the real thing, or a sequential shifter, handbrake, a full carbon fiber external, with high-gloss finish custom paint. The thing even supports networking playing with optional radio kits to taunt opponents from all over the world.

www.cxcsimulations.com

That's the link for the company that makes them. They make flight sims as well. It's blocked at work for me, but I remember going on their site a while ago. Forget if they metion prices but if I remember correctly they're like between $3000 and $8000 but I could be wrong. Was on their site soooo long ago.

I can't find the price, however that's not quite as much as I expected it to be.
