Technology is moving at lightening speed and video gaming is no exception. With some games costing up to £125,000 people are expecting a more realistic experience than ever before.

FMCG has unveiled a full-sized Formula 1 simulator which aims to bring you the thrill of driving an F1 car from the comfort of your living room/man cave.

There are plenty of simulators about, however this takes real life gaming to the extreme. You can expect a full-sized F1 car, which comes with brakes, alloy wheels and tyres. It has a quick release steering wheel, designed similarly to an F1 steering wheel.

The simulator uses three 23-inch thin film transistor (TFT) screens, an Intel Core i7 processor, Intel SSD hard drive for ultimate read/write speeds and a five-speaker surround sound system with a sub woofer at the driver’s back for ‘extra effect’.

If you’re worried about whether this will blend into your living room, you’ll be relieved to know that FMCG say: 'All body work is prepared for final painting; primed, undercoated and finished in high gloss top coat. Final colour can be silver, red or black.’

If you’re already reaching for the cheque book you should probably know that Costco are currently selling this for a staggering £90,000.

FMCG International said: "The simulators that we produce at FMCG International replicate the cutting edge of design and technology that F1 is renowned for".

Unfortunately we don’t have a real F1 car on offer, but we do have an excellent range of prestige cars at our Prestige and Performance centres.
