Mercedes-Benz licenced D-BOX motion platform set for February launch

Following the RSEAT and D-BOX HF-L4 displayed at the SimRacing Expo in December, Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG have partnered with motion platform creators D-BOX.

A new multipurpose motion platform, for use in sim racing and esports but also for entertainment, will be on sale sometime in February 2023 featuring the three-pointed star brand. It will be available for home consumers but is also designed with car dealership activations in mind.

Limited details are available ahead of launch, but of note, the HF-L4 we tested at the Expo was indeed Mercedes-Benz branded, and we used an upcoming Cube Controls Mercedes-AMG steering wheel at the same time.

“D-BOX prides itself in being the first haptic system endorsed by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), which is recognized by Mercedes-Benz. This new collaboration combines high-level entertainment standards with state-of-the-art technology for unique experiences.”
