Aston Martin racing chair is ridiculous - in the best possible way

"Totally Rated" is Future's weekly show featuring the latest in technology and gaming reviews and opinion.

This week's episode features Aston Martin's $75,000 simulation racing chair, "Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time" for PS5 and Xbox Series X, and the Insta360 Go 2 action camera.

The Aston Martin AMR-C01 is the most stunning simulation racing cockpit we've ever seen: at $75,000, it has a carbon fiber monocoque, leather seats, and the same seat position as the $3 million Aston Martin Valkyrie

The car is also available in the United Kingdom.

The British luxury carmaker has built only 150 of these, all of which can be customized to the buyer's taste.

Last year's "Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time" makes the leap to next-gen consoles with upgrades for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Alex Avard of GameRadar+ says, "This is exactly what I wish Naughty Dog had made 20 years ago. It's a sequel," he said. [The Crash Bandicoot series was first planned by Naughty Dog, the studio behind Uncharted and The Last of Us.

"It's About Time is a great reminder of why so many people fell in love with sneaker-wearing characters so many years ago," added Adam Vjestica of TechRadar. Both sites rate the game 4.5/5 stars.

This week's Totally Rated review of the Insta360 Go 2 was also favorable. Reviewer Mike Prospero praised the redesigned charging case and more intuitive apps.

"It's a great device for people who want something in between a smartphone and an action camera, smaller than both," Prospero said.

Not that the camera is perfect. While the video quality and image stabilization are commendable, Prospero ultimately leaned toward the GoPro Hero9 Black. Of course, the GoPro costs $100 more at $399.
