Well we all like information don't we? After the long wait to see what Kunos and Porsche have in store for fans of the game, we now finally have all the pieces of the puzzle in one place. Once again thanks to the official Assetto Corsa Steam Store page, we see that Volume 3 of the Porsche DLC packages releases on December 20th, and again contains a goodly selection of the manufacturers finest examples of road and race machinery.

Unlike the previous two DLC's, Volume Three leans heavily towards purpose build race cars, interestingly even including the new for 2017 911 GT3 RSR and 911 GT3 Cup, cars sure to take the national and international headlines when they hit the world stage next year. Of course as can be seen in the included images in this article, fans of classic content have something to look forward to as well, with the inclusion of the 908LH (bottom of page) and 917K (below) - a car made famous as the machine that took Porsches first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.

In a bit of a disappointing move however, Volume Three contains the 2016 919 Hybrid, the car that Mark Webber will make his final WEC appearance in next month at Bahrain, that many people will feel rather similar to the 2015 variant offered in the Volume Two package. Ok ok I know its nothing to get too upset about, seeing as the car has undergone substantial 'under the hood' chances since the previous season, but personally I feel a little disappointed as I would have liked to see another model from the brand in its place. Saying that, if the three DLC packages sell well, nothing to say Kunos won't consider releasing further cars from the brand in the future...?

Why does it upset you that they've decided to go with a naturally aspirated engine? I don't know a lot about racing, I'm not questioning the legitimacy of your thoughts. I think most manufacturers have switched to turbos, haven't they?
I think is a matter of fuel efficiency and power delivery in low atmospheric preasure tracks (high altitude).
 
It's also a torque thing.
Porsche GT3-R customer teams in VLN heavily complained early on this season that they had no chance competing against turbo-powered cars when it comes to managing traffic (slow down and accel, especially at uphill scenarios).

Maybe their feedback can change AMG minds too, the AMG GT3 using the old SLS V8 is a strange decision. The road AMG GT-R engine is quite a machine and a race versions shouldn't be hard to develop for such a giant company.
