Introducing the Ferrari 330 P4 of Assetto Corsa

[Paul Jeffrey]

Scheduled for release as part of the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Celebration DLC, check out the introduction video for the legendary Ferrari 330 P4 - coming soon to Assetto Corsa.

Releasing alongside six other iconic Ferrari models, the 330 P4 has a long and impressive heritage in endurance motorsport from the 1960's. The 330 P4 would go down in history as one of the more successful ventures into prototype racing for the prancing horse, with arguably the high point being a popular Daytona 1-2-3 at the 1967 running of the great American race.

Powered by a screaming V12 engine designed under the guidance of Franco Rocchi, the P4 would contain many similarities to it's older sister the Ferrari 330 P3. Throughout the era the P marking would become synonymous with the endurance racing efforts of the brand, with P standing for Prototype in an effort to help distinguish the various different kinds of endurance racing vehicles Ferrari would produce at the time.

Slightly shorter and lighter than the older P3, the new for 1967 330 P4 would be faster, better handling and ultimately more competitive than any offering from Ferrari at that point in its history.

Now thanks to Kunos decision to create a Ferrari celebration DLC to honour the 70th anniversary of this famous manufacturer, Assetto Corsa players will only have to wait a few more days to get their hands on a digital version of the car themselves.

Capable of 320km/h and home to some of the eras best drivers, the 330 P4 is sure to be one of the most popular inclusions of the upcoming Ferrari DLC in Assetto Corsa.

[Phoenix77]

Now that's some serious car porn! I didn't get the ready to race pack, wasn't really my thing... But this Ferrari DLC is going to be a must have.

 

[aphidgod]

I'd still buy AC at full price if this were the only car included.

 

[shimon.ifraimov]

reupload the last picture...

 

[FeltHat]

truly charming car, sexy and dangerous

 

[Shaun Clarke]

That has nothing on my slower, less impressive, smooth lined, fantastic designed...BRITISH Ginetta car, nothing I tell you nothing......

Oh that does look good, very good...no I need to snap out of it, I will resist .

PS - for people that don't know me, that was just a joke

 

[hal4000]

Yeah, for me definitely the highlight of the pack. I wonder why the Spyder though, and not the Berlinetta. Oh well, they must have their reasons, and you can't have it all I guess...
Good to see this one coming.

0858, started out as a Coupé, then it was converted to Spyder for the final races of the '67 season, then turned into a Can-Am 350 in the same year, stayed like that for a few seasons, then eventually it was restored back to Spyder a few years ago and since then back to Coupé (this was new to me, we used a photoshoot of the Spyder body).

I would have chosen the Berlinetta over the Spyder, to be honest. Still a great car, cannot wait to drive it.

 

[Kasti]

Imo the best looking car Ferrari ever built, more like an ancient greek sculpture than only a car - a good racer too. The absolute highlight of the pack and i´m happy it´s the spyder,we have so few open versions ingame(for example the 908/3 spyder would have been more usefull in comparison to the 908LH with it´s much poorer handling). The 312 ´67 is second, bringing back a little GPL fun. 67 had so many iconic racecars.

 

[mantasisg]

I get chills by watching that ! So perfectly produced, everything !

 

[darkelf1]

hmmmmmmm,where's 430, where's enzo,....

 

[hal4000]

Aaaaaaand there we go again...., sigh...

 

[larre90]

And where's the 512?

 

[Leynad777]

hmmmmmmm,where's 430, where's enzo,....

Stefano said once they don't do cars they don't like and you will never see the Enzo for this reason

 

[hal4000]

And where's the 512?

0858

Oooh there is a top quality video of that car on YT it seems, when it was a spyder even. To keep the tradition of people whinging in AC threads alive, I shall now proceed to moan about how much I NEED engine start up feature.
