Assetto Corsa Porsche 911 RSR Preview Image Revealed

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Licensing Manager Marco Massarutto has revealed a new image of the current work in progress 2017 Porsche 911 RSR due to make its debut towards the end of the current month.

When it was announced that the new for 2017 911 RSR would not make it in time to be included in the third Porsche DLC installment for Assetto Corsa, many fans were left disappointed by the omission of arguably the most anticipated car of the three DLC packages. To their credit Kunos acknowledged this disappointment at the time of the announcement and promised Volume Three DLC owners that the car would arrive as a free addition to the pack in January 2017, whilst still replacing the machine from the initial launch with a very nice version of the 911 Turbo S to ensure the full quota of Porsche cars will be met across the three DLC's.

Now we have reached January, Kunos Licensing Manager Marco Massarutto has seen fit to release a 3D render image of the still WIP 911 RSR, showing off the usual Kunos attention to detail in sculpting the fine lines of this new addition to the Assetto Corsa car family.

The 911 RSR itself will make its track debut at the end of this month during the 2017 running of the Rolex Daytona 24 hour event, due to be held on the 28th and 29th January at the famous American venue.

Kunos Simulazioni have released Assetto Corsa for Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game features a number of road and race vehicles with many laserscanned circuits. Additional track and car content can be purchased by way of downloadable content.

hah... it's a cool feature to make racing more safe but it won't win any visual design awards

That radar system is a pretty useful tool, not only in terms of safety, but it gives to the GT driver a better awareness of LMP1 position in order to loose less time as possible when being lapped.
During the last club race at LeMans I was running the 458 GT2 and Helicorsa was very important when you guys with LMP1 were behind me in the twisty sections like the Porsche curves.

It's also useful in making the proximity indicators in AC suddenly seem less arcadey.
