Just don't get yourselves too hyped up...I really feel that if multiplayer was ready they would have given it to us already...I would be very surprised if they know an exact date it will be ready...same goes for AI...If it was a new car license (such as Lambo) it wouldn't make much sense to only sign one car...although they did sign 5 Ferrari and only told us about 1 at the initial reveal...

I think you're wrong mate. They wrote about 5 Ferraris from the beginning ;-)
If this one new car that is released on 31st is Lambo then it would mean that they had acquired the license 2 or 3 months ago... And I'm pretty sure they would officially announced already (like they did with all brands).

Now I think that the most possible solution is... additional car from nkp.... Vintage i.e. ;-)

 

[Ignazio Pinella]

P 4/5 Competizione 2012 with Kers, it's not listed in the Assetto Corsa cars list but I remember a post by Aris talking that he was building it...

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Either or you could be right...or wrong

Pretty sure we were told it was 5 ferrari's but the 458 was the only one revealed at the time...had to wait a bit before we found out about the F40...(how cool is it that we are now driving it)

A Lambo Aventadore (i'm sure i misspelled that) would be sick and I also remember Aris mentioning the 2012 P 4/5

The thought of the Vintage with AC physics gets me all, well you know...The Mecco's 427 Cobra mod is the mod that i most look forward to but the vintage or vintage replica would make me VERY happy....

 

[DennS]

for the secret car my guess would be LaFerrari... If it has something to do with the 31st who knows.. But Marco posted about LaFerrari on his FB and pretty much everything there was a teaser

 

[Deleted member 151827]

Whatever it is i will be happy.

Or could be just a announcement of the Lambo but I don't think it will happen honestly, as Michael said only one car makes it hard to make sense.

Anyway if the gift is a car announcement I bet on ferrari, since the team has recently paied a visit to the ferrari for something. Maybe 2013 Ferrari F1? ferrari deserves to be in the gift!

 

[Ralf Ääro]

Maybe its a gift only for those who already bought AC.....like a code for a DLC car/track?? Would make sense with the "gift for the community" thing.

 

[Tobbe Bergman]

Rename the thread to Hype Mania

Now I think that the most possible solution is... additional car from nkp.... Vintage i.e. ;-)

I don't think the Vintage needs a license though, unless they're changing it to be branded a Shelby Cobra, and editing whatever minor differences they have. Although maybe he was only talking about multiplying the work of putting each car together, not the license fees.

 

[TTM75]

Gift for community.... Hmmm, only one thing comes to my mind. Modding tools.

 

[horto45]

A totally new licensed brand makes no sense. So I think Kunos will announce a additional car of an existing brand

And that's most important thing - they don't need to get any license for it ;-) but yeah, car from existing brands line-up is also possible. Actually I don't think that any other option is possible.

 

[Fabrizio Corona]

One of these:
1. F1 Ferrari
2. LaFerrari
3 P4/5 2012

 

[nobrakes]

Maybe 2013 Ferrari F1? ferrari deserves to be in the gift!

I don`t think that we will get an official F1 car of Ferrari because i think that Codemasters has the licence to publish official F1 cars at the moment.

 

[Marian Zelenka]

Whatever. Just gimme that damn P1!

 

[Paul Lock]

Hoping for a cheeky P1.

Hoping its not socks or a sweater.

 

[dcully]

Could AI be a possibility?

 

[Tim Meuris]

Is SantaClaus working for them now? All these gifts...
Hmmm, last time I said Nords and I was right,
well let's go crazy and go with Porschelicense

 

[Daniel Pérez]

There are already 36 cars announced for v1 at the AC web, so I don't think the gift is a non announced car. Anyway, it will be very well welcome whatever it is.

 

[Bart Manski]

My guess is that it might be one of the already announced cars, like 458 GT2, BMW 1M or some Lotus. That or something not related to software updates.
