While last year brought the Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator, which, unfortunately, was not built for commercial purposes, now gamers can enjoy the Ultimate Cockpit, bound to offer an amazing experience.

New Motion Simulation paired up with Ariel Motor Company, the creator of the Ariel Atom, to develop and manufacture the ultimate gadget for car enthusiasts. The TL1 racing simulator was recently launched at this year's Gadget Show, and is the world's first 180-degree spherical projector housed in a cockpit.

Unrivalled Simulation Experience

"The TL1 simulator has been specifically designed from the ground up to bring a fresh and innovative approach to Racing, Flight and First-Person-Shooter Simulation," said the creators. "Housing the world's first 180 degree, spherical projector screen and variable driving position cockpit, the Motion Simulator TL1 offers an unrivalled, immersive, simulation experience. Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK in cooperation with the Ariel Motor Company - creator of one of the world's fastest cars, the Ariel Atom - the simulator appeals to a broad range of users, including professional race drivers, gaming enthusiasts and those seeking the ultimate and most realistic simulation experience available."

The TL1C simulator with a seat-only configuration will be available soon. For now, Motion Simulation is taking orders for three variants - TL1, TL1s and TL1 Professional, with prices starting at $18,000. For more details, visit the official site.
