As the other thread is closed ...I made my own quote:

Fed up by all those bad pubs and bad com ...
If this is the "famous" Kraken .... please stop this kind of com and learn communication, Kunos !

This will work a time but not forever .... if all get more and more deceived with what is done.

Just one thing I decided, ... if it is a new DLC to buy .... I won't buy any until the base game is finished and complete !

Fed up with this new system of sims never finished and still in beta with a version name 1.0 or 1.3000

Or I was a liar ... or the news made me change my mind !

As I'm not a liar ( mostly ! ) ... Porsche is the best news which might bring changes in my assertion of that quote. And I changed my mind of course.
Even though I'm still waiting for improvements for the gameplay.

Something like announced False Starts makes me think it'll need a change for the race penalties.
Else I cannot see which ridicuous penalty might be found for a false start ...
even with a fabulous Porsche

Did anyone else recognize this sentence in the announcement by Marco Massarutto:

This Fall, Assetto Corsa will be the only multi-platform title to have the Porsche brand in a genuine racing simulation

Maybe this means that some other non-multiplatform title could get one, too? Forza still has its licence, pCARS is also multiplattform. Who else? GT Sports? R3E? Other... or do I read to much out of it? I think the EA exclusive licence is now gone and I don't read this news as KUNOS has instead the licence now exclusive...

If you are at le mans you can try the 2016 911 right now at the porsche experience center.

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

At FB Marco confirmed one car in a comment to someone else...moby dick

 

[Robert_S]

finally

 

[Blimey]

Now just get the 911 GT3 R out and the GT3 Cup car, then do release the rest in whatever order.

Shut up and take my money

Nice to hear that! Lovely "schwäbisch" Porsche

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

@Tobias Röhner remember that I'm buying this for you.

 

[Cristian Haba]

Aye aye, I would like to draw your attention to the following:

1998 Porsche GT1
1995+ 993 GT2 Evo

The historics are cool, but leagues wont happen with them, however a nice conversion of VirtuaLM LeMans will do those cars justice. And yes, a game with licenses for almost all the greatest marques, well done Kunos, chapeau.

 

[Brownninja97]

At FB Marco confirmed one car in a comment to someone else...moby dick

So 935/78
918
911 2016

those are the three we can confirm now from the array of pictures they are threw at us.

We maybe the 962c as well judging by the footage they showed.

 

[Glaurung]

OMG what a video, like porn for petrolheads.

 

[roby13]

objectively biggest simnews of the year

 

[liakitsos]

Mod edit: English only please.

 

[Blimey]

Cars in the game right now IMO: 911 R, 918, 919.

objectively biggest simnews of the year

Maybe the biggest simnews of the decade. I wonder if other developers get the P-cars too...

Also 505 tweeting that 20 cars in 2 DLC incoming. So pretty much all the good ones, both modern and historic. Dis gun be good

[Amir Vodokotlic]

Wow didn't see this coming.


Also Aris said in AC forums Porsche license only on Assetto Corsa so I guess exclusive deal.

Won't be seeing it in iRacing/pCars.
