Assetto Corsa – 2016 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Previews

Yesterday, Kunos Simulazioni announced the new “Ready To Race” DLC for Assetto Corsa which will be available for purchase on May 18th (Steam). The new DLC car pack will feature 10 exciting racing cars. As usual, the Kunos Simulazioni 3D modeling artists have produced a meticulously detailed virtual clone of this awesome GT3 racer.

One of the racing cars in the pack is the 2016 version of the Audi R8 LMS GT3. This second-generation R8 LMS endurance racer for customer teams has proven a very successful contender in various GT3 sports car championships around the world.

The 2016 Audi R8 LMS GT3 is powered by the same 5.2-liter V-10 engine as found in the production version, yet fitted with an inlet restrictor reducing the power to 585 hp. The engine transfers its power to the wheels via a new six-speed sequential gearbox operated by shifter paddles.
