Dynisma announced as McLaren Automotive’s motion simulator partner

Dynisma said it will be supporting the brand’s engineering division over the coming years in advanced vehicle development programmes, enabling it to maximise every benefit of the driving simulator.

Set to be operational at McLaren’s Technology Centre (MTC) in Woking, Surrey, in 2024, the new simulator will be used to virtually develop new McLaren models in multiple key areas, including vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics, propulsion systems, Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH), control systems and Human Machine Interface (HMI), User Experience (UX) and ergonomics.

Dynisma said its simulators can accelerate new car development by eliminating the need for multiple, expensive, physical prototypes while enabling countless tests and parallel projects to take place in an efficient, repeatable, sustainable, and closed environment.

Dynisma Motion Generators (DMGs) are already in use by multiple automotive OEMs worldwide, the technology bringing ‘game-changing benefits’ by setting new standards, pairing the lowest latency with the highest bandwidth to create ‘immersive, realistic, and responsive’ driving simulation experience in the world.

In a statement, Ash Warne, Dynisma CEO, said: “I am delighted to announce this agreement with McLaren Automotive, a company with whom we share a relentlessly pioneering mindset. McLaren first proved the benefits of using high-performance driving simulators to develop race cars twenty years ago and so for Dynisma to now become McLaren’s Official Motion Simulator Partner because of our world-leading technology makes me especially proud.

“Our Dynisma Motion Generators bring a totally revolutionary approach to car development, enabling near perfect correlation between testing and real life – breakthrough features that are already being enjoyed by automotive OEMs globally through the supply of multiple simulators to date.

“As McLaren’s Official Motion Simulator Partner, we will have an especially close relationship and are looking forward to supporting McLaren as it maximises our world-leading technologies in the development of its next-generation high-performance supercars, enabling it to deliver the most thrilling driving experiences imaginable.”
