The 2014 Corvette GT’s are coming.

Kunos Simulazioni has proudly announced that the 2014 Corvette will become part of the licensed car park of Assetto Corsa. After mainly focussing on European content, the Italian developer noticed that a significant part of sales where actually coming from the US. So now Kunos Simulazioni had the opportunity to license the first American build car for Assetto Corsa. I am sure many out there would have picked a GT car when given the choice and so did the Kunos team.

The 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray will be added to Assetto Corsa as a free content update. The big news however is that the Corvette C7.R GT racer will be included with the DLC Dream Pack. This DLC will include ten addoncars and the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife track.

This Chevrolet Corvette C7.R is powered by a 5.5-liter naturally-aspirated dry-sump V-8 and six-speed sequential transmission that is mounted into an aluminum frame. The double wishbone suspension and carbon-ceramic discs have to keep the car on the tarmac. The car competes in the American Tudor United Sportscar Championship and complies to the mandatory “Balance of Performance” formula used in the series. Corvette Motorsport also has a wildcard entree for the Le Mans 24 and will represent the American GT colors during the race.

With the already available BMW Z4 GT3, McLaren MP4-12C GT3, Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione and the announced Ferrari 458 GT2, 2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo and GT-R GT3 the GT field that will be possible to race is mind-blowing.
