The Contents of the First Assetto Corsa Porsche Pack Are a Bit of a Blur

    Porsche Pack Volume 1

    An image has been posted showing what will come in the first Assetto Corsa Porsche Pack and at first glance it’s a bit hard to see what’s so good about it.

     

    Not because the pack is crap or anything, no not at all, but because the vehicles in the image posted by Marco Massarutto on his own Facebook are all lined-up together and softly blurred, making us have to work a little to figure out what they are.

    Enthusiasts or even a quick Google search of ‘Porsche’ and ‘Porsche – because – racecar' will no doubt give evidence to fairly easily help identify the legends and the current hero hypercar of the Stuttgart based automaker.

    One Hypercar, two GT cars, one GTR car, three historical race cars. To make everyone happy.

    What is a bit more difficult is deciphering the more known shapes that are common to the models of today. However with a bit of image-enhancing CSI style (with everything being done making a beep of course) I was able to enhance the image about 1.7% which aided me better in being able to be approximately 97.999999% DNA matc... sure of my findings about the cars being shown.

     

     

    Looking at the image and starting at the left: the first car is quite clearly a Porsche 935/78 'Moby Dick' in Momo Kreepy Krauly colours whereas the second car is more modern and due to the blue sticker on the front and yellow markings on the rear quarter it is assuredly the Cayman GT4 Clubsport.

     

    The third car is a bit of a tough one, it certainly looks to be a 911 (991.2) and we do know from previous images that this is forthcoming and it obviously makes sense for Porsche to want one of their modern icons to be featured so this is what I am going with.

     

    Phwoar is the case for four as it is no doubt the 918 Spyder hypercar, five is so much the same as #3 however it is likely a 718 but whether that is of a Cayman or Boxster I just cannot be completely sure of. It might even be the road-going Cayman GT4 as this is seen in the original announcement trailer above.

     

    Six is a Porschephile's heaven as it is the legend that is the Carrera RSR 3.0, this thing should be a barrel (roll?) load of fun due to its feisty handling, and last but certainly in no way at all least is the crazy looking 917/30 Can-Am racer.

     

    So for the tl;dr of you here is my belief of what the first of the two three packs will contain:

    Assetto Corsa Porsche Pack Volume 1

    Going from left to right.

    • Porsche 935/78 ‘Moby Dick’
    • Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport
    • Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.2)
    • Porsche 918 Spyder
    • Porsche Cayman/Boxster 718/Cayman GT4 (not sure between these)
    • Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0
    • Porsche 917/30

    And don't forget the free Cayenne, Macan and Panamera which were announced too!
