Yes. As was the Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the Ferrari 365 which was imsa as well as G5. It was eventually replaced by Group B until that disappeared from sports car racing in favour of Group C and C2.
Ahh! I didn't know that's how Group B came about. I just remember the insane cars from that era. I was young when Group B started. I know people look back on that Gr. B Rally Racing with much fondness. I wish I were a bit older at the time to have really paid attention.
 
Why do so many people get so excited about the Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick?

Dat whale tail...

Alright...I've been trying to keep my mouth shut, but I just gotta ask.

Why do so many people get so excited about the Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick? This car didn't have a successful racing history. Is it the wild looks of the race car? I know it's got gobs of horsepower, so it's freakin' fast...but I've never truly understood the fawning all over this race car.

Is it the 25th yet? :D
Personally I don't care if a race car is successful. It's the visual aspect of seeing them for the first time as a kid that makes race cars legendary to me, any race car that makes it from design room to the track is a success for me.

We need these cars.

They say that race cars get prettier when they take wins. However, I find it hard to imagine that the 935 could get much prettier than the 78. These dramatic silhouette shapes of Group 5 also generated plenty of downforce, so I'm expecting nothing but joy when we get to unleash its power.
 
I would love to create a room featuring the 917 Spider, La Ferrari, Ferrari FXXK and McLaren P1.

Just cruise the ring and stage a race or two. That would be very nice. :D 👍
 
918 Spyder

"After more than 12 years away from the hardcore sim-racing world, the Porsche Brand is coming to Assetto Corsa, as part of three DLC packages. The first of these packs, the Porsche Pack Volume 1, introduces some of the most iconic Porsche cars ever created, coupled with some of the most recent models of the Porsche 2016 line-up, with the aim to offer a perfect mix between road cars, hypercars, as well as modern and historic GT and racing models.

Let us introduce you to the 918 Spyder, which embodies the essence of the Porsche idea: it combines pedigree motor racing technology with excellent everyday utility, and maximum performance with minimum consumption.

The main source of propulsion is the 4.6-litre, eight cylinder engine that produces 608 hp (447 kW) of power. The engine is derived directly from the power unit of the successful RS Spyder, which explains why it can deliver engine speeds of up to 9,150 rpm. Because of its parallel hybrid configuration, the 918 Spyder can be powered at the rear axle either individually by the combustion engine or electric motors or via both drives jointly, thus giving it a total power of 887 hp (652 kW). The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is performed within 2.6 seconds, and the top speed is reached at 345 km/h.

The 918 Spyder has conquered the 20.6-kilometre lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven minutes. Achieving a time of exactly six minutes and 57 seconds, the super sportscar shaved an incredible 14 seconds off the previous record.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is 1 of 7 cars coming to Assetto Corsa as part of the Porsche Pack Volume 1, scheduled for release on October 25th on Steam, then in November on PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One!




911 Carrera RSR 3.0


"Introducing the breathtaking Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0, another classic to be featured in the upcoming Porsche Pack Volume 1.

When choosing the most exciting 911 of all time, the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR would come out on top. Based on the 911 Carrera RS homologation model, the RSR was built in 1972 as a Group 4 race car, whose performance far exceeded that of its predecessors.

The front and rear wings were five centimetres wider, and the oil cooler was located under the car's front-end which visually highlighted the power of the 55 911 Carrera RSRs produced. The rear of the vehicle had a six-cylinder engine with increased displacement, whose performance was increased to 330 hp at 8,000 rpm, thanks to dual ignition and larger valves and cylinders.

The Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 is 1 of 7 cars coming to Assetto Corsa as part of the Porsche Pack Volume 1, scheduled for release on October 25th on Steam, then in November on PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One!

Stay tuned for more info!" (Assetto Corsa quoted from facebook)

It's kind of funny. I think the Porsche 935 is freakin' gorgeous! Except for the 935/78. :lol: Oh well. I'm sure I'll feel differently when I feel the launch up the hill at Spa-Francorchamps.

Eh...You better toss the FXX K out of that room. It's too much for the other 3. Now that's saying something! Damn... :eek:

Wow, my bad. Nothing like a badly matched on-line room. Perhaps only I will be allowed to drive the FXXK..:lol:
Yeah, that's the ticket......👍 Or maybe I was wanting to use 599XX?:confused:

LOL I was thinking the same thing... "Okay, I'll take the FXX K! You 3 choose between the remaining 3 cars..." But then I was thinking, "What if I lose driving the FXX K? I'll want to kill myself."

A little mood enhancer:

Will definitely be watching that later. Ya know...It's funny. By no stretch of the imagination has any Porsche been near the top of one of my Dream Cars lists. I have tremendous respect for their vehicles. The fact that they've been producing cars that can compete with the exotics even though they're half the price is outstanding. Still, I find myself giddy to get Porsche vehicles in my Assetto Corsa garage and on the road. 👍

Porsche engineering is amazing. They keep getting more and more incredible performance out of possibly the worst possible engine positioning. It's impossible not to respect this company and what they've accomplished on the road and on the race track over the years. I am dying to see how the Porsche 918 performs in AC. I'm sure Aristotelis is dying to explain the crazy systems AC built solely for that car (just like they did for the Ferrari SF15-T).

I'm definitely not consistent enough to take on this task, but I know there are several here on GTPlanet and on the Official AC Forums -- I look forward to seeing a comparison test with the BIG 3! :D
