Assetto Corsa Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 Introduction Video

[Paul Jeffrey]

Assetto Corsa developer Kunos Simulazioni has released a new introduction video for the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0, due to be made available for purchase as part of the upcoming Porsche Volume One DLC package in just a few days.

With three proposed DLC packages on their way for Assetto Corsa, Volume One will contain seven new cars across several decades of Porsche automotive history, forming a nice mix of modern and historic road and racing machines. The 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 is of 1974 vintage and as such will no doubt feature more power than grip, H-Pattern gear shifting and some pretty epic noise emissions from the twin exit big bore exhausts, nestled under one of the prettiest rear ends in road car design ) ) .

A personal favourite of mine, I for one can't wait to give the 911 Carrera RSR its first tentative laps around one of the many laserscanned tracks in Assetto Corsa. Only three days to go...

From the official video introduction:

"When choosing the most exciting 911 of all time, the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR would come out on top. Based on the 911 Carrera RS homologation model, the RSR was built in 1972 as a Group 4 race car, whose performance far exceeded that of its predecessors.

The front and rear wings were five centimetres wider, and the oil cooler was located under the car's front-end which visually highlighted the power of the 55 911 Carrera RSRs produced. The rear of the vehicle had a six-cylinder engine with increased displacement, whose performance was increased to 330 hp at 8,000 rpm, thanks to dual ignition and larger valves and cylinders"​

The Porsche Panamera G2 and a 1960's version of the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit will be added to Assetto Corsa as free content in conjunction with the upcoming update to the game, expected to be release at a similar time as the Porsche Volume One DLC.

Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC right now. The Porsche Pack Volume One, containing seven Porsche vehicles is scheduled for release on October 25th for PC, then in early November on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!

Good rather a successful company than ones that's dead ages ago (ISI) or one that's barely floating above water gasping for air and struggling (Reiza)

These classic Porsches + free classic Silverstone... This is genuinely exciting.

Instead of sprouting cars I prefer that work on some other stuff. Like the FFB that has been surpassed by Automoblista and R3E

well that is true but it is not like one guy is doing both cars, track, coding and licensing .. and one thing is delaying other too much

Idk how your wheel is set up and such, but this is so subjective that it's hard to even argue. Some may say F1 2016 has good force feedback because they like it or have it set up well. It's very much about personal preference and AC offers me the options to set it up as I want...
On top of that a lot depends on what car you drive. You can't expect a 500 to feel as responsive as a modern F1 car.

Yes the core must keep improving , but they must also keep money coming in to allow them to work on these improvements . I imagine its a quite hard balancing act to keep the cash flow coming in .

Kunos got me like

Well just because they have been working on DLC doesn't mean they also haven't been improving the core game. We are getting 1.9 with the DLC and from what I have heard is the change log is quite large. So the notion that thinking the rest of the devs are sitting around twiddling their thumbs while they pump out DLC is quite ridiculous.

Also I do agree this Porsche thing is a bit out of hand. It really doesn't need to be hyped anymore. I'm sure anybody who is remotely interested are well aware already Porsche is coming the 25th.

That Gran Turismo like Introduction makes me remember 'The moon over the castle'...

This looks like it's going to be amazing.

Edit : you'll see.

I can always tell we're right where we want to be (in the middle) when at the same time, haters of 'Game X' think we've been bought by the developer of 'Game X', and fanboys of 'Game X' think we're 'anti-Game X'.

Like the car, but the limited car audio in the trailer doesn't impress. Hopefully the audio is better. Sounded very synthesized to me.
