Assetto Corsa Rally is gearing up for an exciting update, with the upcoming v0.6 patch promising to introduce three new cars to the game. According to Game Director Irvin Zonca, the new vehicles will be a French car and two German cars, all four-wheel-drive models spanning different decades. This update aims to enhance the game's realism and diversity, offering players a more authentic rallying experience.
The anticipation is high, especially with the potential inclusion of iconic rally cars. While Zonca remained tight-lipped about specific models, the clues hint at a mix of classic and modern rally cars. The Audi Quattro, a legendary four-wheel-drive car, is a strong contender, having dominated the rally scene in the 1980s. However, the 2010s Volkswagen Polo WRC could also fit the criteria, showcasing the game's ability to capture a range of eras.
Assetto Corsa Rally already features a French car, the Citroën Xsara, and the game's commitment to historical accuracy is evident. Both Peugeot and Citroën have a rich history in rallying, with models like the Group B Peugeot 205, Citroen C4 WRC, and DS3 WRC. The recent C3 Rally2 and the mid-2000s Peugeot 207 further solidify the game's dedication to realism.
One intriguing addition could be the Renault Clio Rally3, a present-day car that has been a DLC in EA SPORTS WRC. However, Zonca also mentioned two dream Fiats, the Uno Turbo and the Fiat Abarth X1/9 Prototipo, which would be a significant addition to the game's lineup. These Fiats, with their unique styling and rally heritage, would bring a fresh and exciting dimension to the game.
The development team's focus on improving throttle and tire models further enhances the game's immersion. These updates, combined with the new cars, will undoubtedly elevate Assetto Corsa Rally to new heights, providing players with an even more realistic and engaging rallying simulation experience.
