CUPRA has unveiled the Playseat® PRO CUPRA Racing Formula E, a simulator cockpit that replicates a real racing car seat.
The simulator aims to give gamers a realistic racing experience, allowing them to feel the same emotions as professional racing drivers. This unique technology further demonstrates CUPRA’s dedication to expanding the reach of electric driving to more people.
The seat was developed with drivers and teams and is crafted from top quality materials with a robust metal structure to offer a comfortable, responsive, and unique experience. The Playseat® PRO CUPRA Racing Formula E is designed to exactly replicate the excitement of driving a real Formula E car, with a low, sloping driving position offering a superior feeling of immersion compared to other simulation platforms.
"The world of motorsport is rapidly transforming, making its way towards a much more sustainable era, full of challenges and innovations, in which CUPRA is playing a key role.
"Today, we participate in one of the most iconic racing competition: Formula E, and our fans have been a huge support. With this collaboration with Playseat, we want them to be closer to the CUPRA team by offering them the chance to actually feel the thrill of being a real racing driver."
- Ignasi Prieto, Global Marketing Director of SEAT and CUPRA
The seat features the Playseat® Forcelock system, meaning the simulator allows extreme forces to be applied to the seat without flexing. Forcelock also allows quick and easy adjustments of the seat and steering wheel and pedal positions, making stops or driver changes easier. This patented system has undergone many tests over several years under tough conditions to achieve perfection. It is ideal for a new generation of gamers seeking adrenaline and more emotion.
The seat is covered in the official matte colour scheme, logos and decals of the CUPRA Racing Formula E team, with black vinyl upholstery offering a high-quality leather look.
The Playseat® PRO CUPRA Racing Formula E is compatible with all consoles and PCs, as well as with all steering wheels and pedals. Gamers can experience the adrenaline of driving the CUPRA Tavascan and CUPRA Formentor VZ5, available in the virtual racing world of Forza Horizon 5, from the comfort of their homes. Gamers can choose between combustion performance or electric power, with the chance to unlock an exclusive CUPRA Race suit.
The simulator will enable players to take their gaming experience to a whole new level whilst also improving their skills. The seat is available to purchase now from €1,119.00.
