New Cars in Assetto Corsa Rally Update 0.6
Three new cars were added to Assetto Corsa Rally with v0.6:
- 1980 Audi Quattro Gr.4
- 1999 Peugeot 206 WRC
- 2018 Volkswagen Polo GTI R5
The oldest and perhaps the most iconic of the three, the 1980 Audi Quattro changed the sport. While others considered four-wheel drive to be heavy for rally, Audi gambled.
The manufacturer lobbied to have four-wheel drive legalised. Later, they surprised everyone with the traction of the Audi Quattro on snow, ice, and loose surfaces.
206 WRC marked Peugeot's return to the sport. The 1999 Peugeot 206 WRC is the earlier version, which the French manufacturer later refined into a championship-winning car.
Meanwhile, the Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 is a compact, well-rounded vehicle. It is not a factory WRC car and was intended for customer teams.
There is still respectable power underneath the Polo GTI R5, with a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 272 PS and 400 Nm, driving all four wheels through a five-speed sequential gearbox.
