As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning across years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars. The most iconic representation of the automotive and motorsport world. Each vehicle is reproduced through an advanced system that simulates mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, combined with the fidelity of the circuits created using Laserscan technology.

Assetto Corsa EVO represents a major leap forward of the Assetto Corsa universe, offering a significantly enriched sim-racing experience. With the launch of a new KUNOS Simulazioni proprietary, high-performance photorealistic engine, VR and triple screen support have become first-class features and the new mathematical model meticulously simulates asphalt performance in different dynamic weather conditions that guarantees an authentic and realistic experience which will redefine the standards that have made Assetto Corsa renowned.

Supporting a full 24 hr race cycle, cutting-edge lighting, dynamic weather and track conditions and photorealistic visuals, Assetto Corsa EVO will be unlike any racing sim seen on any generation. Plus, of course, there will be a wealth of KUNOS’ surprises that have yet to be revealed, all of which will enable racers to experience living and sharing their passion for cars, driving and racing. 

Assetto Corsa EVO raises the bar of realism that has made the franchise one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade even higher so stay tuned for more details on game features down the road.

Publisher 505 Games and developer KUNOS Simulazioni are delighted to announce that Assetto Corsa EVO, the latest evolution of the popular Assetto Corsa series, celebrates the launch of the new 0.7 update.

Assetto Corsa EVO has evolved substantially, thanks to development efforts since its Early Access launch back in January, 2025 and 0.7 is considered to be a strategical update by KUNOS Simulazioni, as it adds not only new cars and features but also particle effects, the first step of the editor tool and more.

A summary of the headline additions in this update can be found below:

FIRST RELEASE OF ASSETTO CORSA EVO SDK - THE EDITOR TOOL

The 0.7 update marks the first official step toward community-driven content creation in Assetto Corsa EVO with Assetto Corsa EVO SDK app introduction.

Dedicated to experienced and technical-minded members of the community, the SDK application allows users to produce custom vehicles to use in single-player racing (with future updates that will add the ability for players to take their creations into multiplayer)  using a production pipeline closely aligned with the same technologies used internally by the development team at KUNOS Simulazioni.

This first release focuses on car model creation - while solutions for custom liveries and tracks will arrive in the future - representing the beginning of a longer-term evolution toward a more open, expandable and long-living platform.

The Assetto Corsa EVO SDK app is available to all Assetto Corsa EVO users.

NEW CARS

Assetto Corsa EVO’s vehicle roster is also being expanded in this update, with four new additions. From one of the most influential Japanese coupés in automotive history to two generations of Porsche Motorsport at the very top of customer racing, this new group gives players a mix of cultural icons and machines built to win. The new inclusions are:

• Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II
• Datsun 240Z (2 Variants)
• Porsche 935
• Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo Kit

NEW EVO Safety Rating

EVO SR (Safety Rating) is a brand new addition for the web companion Daily Racing Portal. In contrast to other racing games which simply reward the absence of contact — letting a driver hiding at the back of the field gain rating the same way as a wheel-to-wheel battler — EVO SR measures and rewards the presence of close and clean racing. Drivers increase their EVO SR rating by racing in close proximity to other cars without making contact, whether that means fighting for the lead, lapping the field or sitting in a five-car train. Contacts are read directly from in-game impact data, so aggressors pay and victims are protected. When a contact incident occurs, the quantity of EVO SR reduction scales based on severity, so a light brush at corner exit is absorbed while a heavy collision incurs a significant penalty. Solo wall hits and slipstream taps sit below the model’s threshold and don’t move the rating. This more realistic approach to racing etiquette enforcement aims to limit players gaming the safety system and instead is designed to cultivate exciting and close racing within the community.

NEW Particle Visual FX

This release also introduces a new particle system which enriches the simulation with smoke, dust, spray and impact effects. Physically responsive tyre smoke now properly accompanies wheelspin, slides and drift work, giving drift culture the visual response expected. Dirt and dust kick up when the car leaves the racing surface or runs across gravel and grass, making off-road excursions and circuit edges feel grounded and physical. Water spray builds correctly in wet conditions, and contact and crash sequences are now backed by dedicated impact effects that add weight and consequence to collisions. Combined with the simulation depth Assetto Corsa EVO already delivers under the hood, these new visual effects mark a dramatic step up which can be seen and felt across all racing scenarios.

The 0.7 update also features a multitude of other visual, gameplay, UI and quality of life improvements which are summarised in the official Assetto Corsa: EVO news page here.

Currently available on Steam Early Access (€39.99 | $39.99 | £32.99), Assetto Corsa EVO is in development for PC (Steam).
