Kunos Simulazioni have released a nice video trailer of the recently released 2017 Porsche 911 RSR for Assetto Corsa.
Assetto Corsa players who purchased the third and final instalment of the recent Porsche DLC packs will also have a nice new bonus as the much delayed 2017 edition of the 911 RSR is to make it's long awaited debut in game. Initially due to be included as part of the standard Volume III Porsche DLC pack, Kunos have had to delay development and release as they gather more data on a car that had at that stage seen precious little on track running. Now that Kunos have received access to the necessary data and spend time developing the car, the Italian studio have made good on their earlier promise and included the RSR as an update to the original Volume III Porsche DLC package. It is worth noting that this car will only be available to VIII DLC owners, and does not replace the 911 Turbo S that Kunos included initially as a stop gap measure to appease fans disappointed by the delay.
The car will be added to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the simulation in due course with more details and an exact release date to be revealed shortly.
These are the words of Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, head of Porsche Motorsport, on the all-new Porsche 911 RSR 2017. The 2017 Le Mans and WEC racing machine produces around 510bhp at 8000rpm and features a mid-engine configuration. This brand new Porsche GTE/GTD racecar has been designed from scratch, and features an ultra-modern, flat-six engine positioned in front of the rear axle.
Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.
