Porsche 935 homage coming to Assetto Corsa EVO’s V0.7 build
  • Porsche 935 (2018) is the first car announced for Assetto Corsa EVO’s V0.7 build
  • The car is based on a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and features revised aerodynamics

An homage to the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche 935/78 is set for Assetto Corsa EVO’s V0.7 Early Access build.

Mechanically, the track-focused 2018 Porsche 935 is a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, but features elongated bodywork and revised aerodynamics to mimic the long-tail racecar famously raced at the 1978 edition of Le Mans.

The 2018 Porsche 935 is one of the craziest and most underrated modern Porsches: it's not a road-legal supercar, but a meticulously crafted track-only car, a tribute to the legendary 1978 "Moby Dick."

For 2018, Porsche decided to bring the 935 up to modern standards for the Rennsport Reunion festival at Laguna Seca. The new car boasts 700 bhp (down from the original’s 900 bhp+) and features an extended carbon-fibre composite body, measuring 4.87m long.

Only 77 units were produced, and each is worth well over $1 million today. One version of the 935 even raced in the GT2 European Series in its GT2 RS ClubSport guise, and was represented in developer Kunos Simulazioni’s previous title, Assetto Corsa Competizione.

A release date for AC EVO’s V0.7 has yet to be announced.
