Assetto Corsa EVO 0.4 is already available

The arrival of Assetto Corsa EVO version 0.4 marks an important moment: for the first time, we can race the Nordschleife. Also, we have many new vehicles and a new external website for multiplayer. Read the note below.

The fourth Early Access release of Assetto Corsa EVO marks a decisive step forward in the development of the title. Version AC EVO 0.4 introduces the Daily Racing Portal, ten new vehicles, five legendary circuits, and a wide range of improvements across physics, audio, graphics, gameplay, multiplayer and UI systems, expanding the depth and fidelity of the driving experience.

Daily Racing Portal

With the AC EVO 0.4 release, KUNOS Simulazioni introduces acevo.gg, the Daily Racing Portal that lays the foundation for a more structured, competitive multiplayer ecosystem. Players can browse daily races directly from the portal, register without launching the game, and automatically join the correct server once the event begins.
Automatic splits are handled through GridRating, ensuring balanced lobbies and grouping drivers according to their skill level. Existing SimGrid drivers will have their GridRating carried over. This first step will expand over time with league features, advanced statistics and deeper in-game integration.

New Cars

Assetto Corsa EVO release 0.4 brings a selection of highly requested and historically significant vehicles, available in multiple variants. The Racing Class welcomes the Ferrari SF-25, while the GT roster expands with the Ferrari F40 LM and the Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 RS, including the Weissbach kit version.
The Road category features icons such as the BMW M3 (E46) CSL, the BMW M8 Competition Coupé (F92), and the Ferrari Daytona SP3. Completing the lineup are the Mini John Cooper S (Mk VI) also in a B16 performance variant, the Peugeot 205 T16, the Renault 5 GT Turbo, and the Toyota Supra Turbo RZ (Mk IV), which includes a dedicated Drift version.

Detailed Vehicle Specifications:

Racing

• Ferrari F40 LM: Developed in the early 90s for competition like IMSA, the F40 LM massively upgraded the road car’s 478 hp V8-Biturbo. Thanks to enhancements like bigger intercoolers and up to 2.6 bar of turbo pressure, the engine delivers around 720 hp. Its track-focused floor design helps manage this explosive power.
• Ferrari SF-25: The first modern-era Formula 1 car in AC EVO. This vehicle features hybrid technology, extreme aerodynamics, ERS (Energy Recovery System), and DRS (Drag Reduction System). True to modern F1 regulations, the car unleashes over 1000 horsepower from its hybrid V6 engine, accelerating from 0 to 200 km/h in under 5 seconds while generating over 5G of downforce in high-speed corners.

Road

• BMW M3 (E46) CSL: Legendary for its pure driving experience, the CSL embodies the lightweight coupé philosophy. It achieves a low weight of approximately 1.3 tons through features like a carbon-fiber roof. Its naturally aspirated straight-six engine produces 360 hp, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds via its sequential manual gearbox.
• BMW M8 Competition Coupé (F92): This grand tourer is built for performance. Its twin-turbo V8 offers significant power delivery. The M8 features a performance-oriented AWD transmission that can also be switched to RWD-only mode, offering both track capability and drift potential despite its size.
• Ferrari Daytona SP3: A celebration of Ferrari’s 1967 Daytona victory. This machine is powered by a raw, non-hybrid, non-turbo V12 engine placed mid-car, producing 840 hp at just over 9000 rpm. Abundant downforce and on-board electronics make taming its power surprisingly accessible.
• Mini John Cooper S (Mk VI) (2 variants): The ultimate evolution of the classic Mini, factory-equipped with the 1275 cc A-series engine. The update also includes the B16 conversion variant, which swaps in a 1.6L Honda B16 DOHC VTEC engine capable of over 160 hp, turning this lightweight FWD car into a challenging pocket rocket.

• Peugeot 205 T16: A Group B icon that revolutionized AWD rally cars. Its mid-engine layout and turbocharged 1.8L heart deliver explosive boost and sharp response. With its short wheelbase and aggressive torque curve, the 205 T16 is ready to compete against its golden-era rivals.
• Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 RS (2 variants): Porsche’s mid-engine masterpiece features a 500 hp naturally aspirated flat-six engine that revs effortlessly above 8000 rpm. Paired with a 7-speed PDK, rear wing, and diffusor, it is a dedicated track tool. A second variant includes the optional Weissach performance package.
• Renault 5 GT Turbo: An effective showcase of lightweight engineering. Its 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder provides fast throttle response once on boost. The combination of low mass, short wheelbase, and FWD layout results in precise and reactive handling.
• Toyota Supra Turbo RZ (Mk IV) (2 variants): A 1990s icon powered by the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-six, delivering up to 326 hp and massive tuning potential, often exceeding 1,000 hp in modified form. The update includes a dedicated version featuring a full drifting package with higher torque, specific steering angles, and a drift-spec setup.

New Tracks

This release delivers the largest circuit expansion of the Early Access program so far. All tracks are fully laser-scanned and crafted with KUNOS Simulazioni’s signature attention to detail. Players can now drive on Monza, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, the Nürburgring and the Nordschleife in multiple layouts (including Touristenfahrten), as well as the historic Oulton Park Circuit, available in two variants.
All existing Formula 1 circuits have also been updated with new DRS zones to support the Ferrari SF-25.

Physics and Performance Upgrades

The physics model receives a significant evolution in AC EVO 0.4. A new tyre damping method delivers higher compliance and more consistent grip, while refined tyre inertia and slip ratio improve traction under braking and acceleration. A new grip model balances higher baseline adhesion with progressive combined-slip limits, rewarding precision and car control.
Tyre thermal and wear behaviour has been expanded to simulate temperature cycles, degradation and compound lifecycles in greater detail. Hybrid, KERS and ERS systems have been unified to ensure authentic power deployment and energy recovery.
The drivetrain benefits from an enhanced wobble model with mechanical elasticity and nonlinear stiffness, resulting in richer force feedback. From the cockpit, drivers can now adjust electronic controls including brake bias, turbo, damper and differential settings. Improvements also extend to DCT behaviour, solid axle dynamics and rolling resistance.

Major Audio Improvements

The audio system receives extensive refinements across engines, transmissions, turbos and environmental ambience. Turbo pitch now responds to both boost and RPM, while transmission sound sets have been reworked. VTEC transitions feature more detailed cues, and the drivetrain wobble model has been rebuilt from the ground up.
Updated backfires, turbo hiss, scraping effects and raindrop ambience bring a more mechanical, immersive soundscape overall, with refreshed samples across multiple vehicles.

Graphics Enhancements

Assetto Corsa EVO with update 0.4 delivers another boost in visual fidelity. Car paint materials have been revised, post-processing and motion rendering are cleaner, and memory efficiency has been improved with reduced VRAM usage. Cockpit clarity has been refined, alongside visual updates to models such as the MX-5 Cup ND1/ND2, Lamborghini Huracán ST EVO2 and Porsche GT4 Clubsport MR.
Players can expect smoother performance in crowded scenes, particularly during online and multi-car races.

UI Updates and New Features

The UI continues to evolve with improvements designed to enhance clarity, race awareness and system management. Update 0.4 introduces expanded HUD notifications, a cleaner server list, a refreshed client-side leaderboard, and new track maps across HUD and pitlane screens.
A new multiplayer chat widget is now available, along with an expanded MFD that supports modern electronic systems. Speedometer, gear and tyre widgets have been improved, and odometers have been added for owned vehicles.
