More Assetto Corsa Porsche Volume III DLC Previews

Paul Jeffrey · Dec 18, 2016

Can you think of a better way to spend the Christmas holiday period than playing around with a bunch of new Porsche cars in Assetto Corsa? I can't that's for sure... To help spread some festive cheer and shorten the wait, Marco Massarutto of Kunos Simulazioni has very kindly leaked another small batch of Porsche Volume III DLC images... NICE!

Following the sad news that the 2017 edition of the 911 GT3 RSR had to be pushed back to a January release (replaced by the rather cool 911 Turbo S), Kunos have pushed out a nice looking batch of new preview images from the upcoming DLC to help remind us all of the goodness that is yet to come, and oh boy do they look good!

The third and final Porsche DLC package is due to hit the digital shelves on Tuesday 20th December, and will feature seven new cars to the simulation, plus the free Macan for those who don't wish to engage in the DLC promotion. Both Volumes One and Two have received much praise from the gaming public, and with arguably the best line up of cars still waiting to launch in Volume Three, fans are well set to enjoy the Christmas break.

Porsche Volume 3 DLC Contains:

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2017
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 2017 * Coming as a free update in January 2017
Porsche 911 GT3 R 2015
Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016
Porsche 908 LH
Porsche 917 K
Porsche 911 R
Porsche 911 Turbo S
Porsche Macan

Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC right now.
Porsche Volume III DLC will release for PC on December 20th.

The Assetto Corsa sub forum here at RaceDepartment is the place to go for Assetto Corsa news and community discussion. We have a whole bunch of mods to download, a specific area for modders to discuss their WIP projects and of course our epic Racing Club and League events. Head over and join in today.

Looking forward to Volume III? Which car do you most anticipate driving? Let us know in the comments section below!

AAH the good & the Bad versions of the 917 this should be fun one with good aero & one with aero life at high speeds.

TheReaper GT · Dec 18, 2016

The 911 CUP and 911 GT3-R look delicious.

This kinda sounds that everyone will get the car in January, when it's only for PP3 owners.

Hoping that it will be the Macan Turbo Performance. Despite the moaning from the lot, this would be a quite fun car to race. Perfect opponent for the Levante S

"Looking forward to Volume III?"

Only if they fix the handling on most cars. So far these are not the engaging and rewarding cars I hear the journalists talking about.

mantasisg · Dec 18, 2016

They added a lot of new screens into Steam store page of PP3. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickest screenshots.

Talking about the street cars, Porsches are not meant to be easy to drive.
The perfect 50:50 distribution might be perfect for fast corners, but it takes away some of your confidence..owning a quite powerful RWD Merc i can tell you i feel a lot more confidence to throw it in the corner, then my buddies Boxster.

finally, the DLC that everyone has been waiting for.

Interesting..I own a 2016 C63 and I have a lot less confidence while blasting on the track or in the canyons than I do with 911s that I've driven. If you let a Porsche settle early, it's planted and requires huge amounts of power to counter any understeer or oven oversteer.

great stuuf , the old 908 and 917 ....cant wait to drive

Exactly, in the game they feel so tame it's not fun at all. You you can do so much mid-corner without unsettling the car it doesn't feel like a car at all.

So, is the Porsche 911 GT3 R the GT3 Spec and the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is the Endurance Spec? Could somebody clarify that for me please?

Correct. The GTE (Le Mans reg) car is the one delayed. Pretty epic pack this.

WTF??? Why no 356 Porsche? Those were the finest example of them all! Not only that, they don't even mention the forgotten beast 959. Or the best known 928, 944, 914, so on. They barely did anything that isn't somehow a 911 based model. What a wasted opportunity to delve deeper on the rich Porsche history.

Yes, but unfortunately its the 2015 spec for the GT3 R and its 2017 in what, less than 2 weeks.

The full line-up of the three packs was unveiled in early-September, you're a bit late to being all worked up by it.
