Looking for a real eye-catcher to show off your sim racing hobby? How about a full-size Ferrari Formula One replica equipped with a steering wheel and a Playstation 2 console?
The “car” is offered on race-cars.com, the UK seller expects the potential buyer to come up with 13,500 British pounds. While the old gaming console isn’t one of the simulator’s most exciting features, the slick tires and fully modelled suspension surely look impressive. More info can be found here, I somewhat doubt that it will sell for this price though….

Certainly not a replica of any F1 car I’ve ever seen… I suppose “F1-style single seater gaming cockpit” doesn’t sound as good

@VKT: indeed that guy is a loonatic!
I mean a PS2… that isnt worth much to play simracing!
If i could buy the thing i would throw the PS2 out and connect it with my PC! That a waaaay better solution

And also it’s not a good replica, i hate the fact that you don’t see MARLBORO written.
Damn EU wankers with their stupid anti-tabak campaign.
Everyone decides on their own if they want to smoke + the government gets a lot of cash from smokers!

Is that a typo? Shouldn’t it be £130.50?
£13,500, mmm, dream on.

LOL. A price of a really good car in Brazil. Or you can mount one full-motion system (Frex or BlueTiger) with this budget. This is a very bad joke…

A 13-grand rig for a PS2? Isn’t that like putting an 18-horsepower Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine into a Bugatti Veyron?
Foolish.

Did you guys see that in the same category you can buy a real rolling F1 car for 19k? :D

If not, a caterham would do the trick.
But this has avon tyres. Not some cheap-ass ones
I’ve always understood this, how are you gonna drive all those arcadish f1 games if you’re not inside the real car? That would unrealistic. And even on a sim, how can you feel realism without a rear wing behind you? Surprisingly, “immersion” doesn’t seem to have anything to do with whether my steering wheel is mounted on my desk.
