Assetto Corsa EVO OverTake Community Car Wishlist

Over the last few weeks, we here at OverTake have run two separate articles asking you, our community, which circuits, free roam maps, and vehicles you most want to see in Assetto Corsa EVO. From one-off concepts to lesser-known racing heroes, here are some of the most niche car choices you, the community, came up with!

The first question was "Which Cars Do You Want To See In Assetto Corsa EVO?". Racing cars above road cars was the outright winner, but some of the choices for circuit monsters, as well as the road-going beasts, caught our attention.

1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic​

One specific car that would be a real treat to drive would be @Midnight's suggestion of the 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, a car made in single digits and one of the most stylish and desirable cars of the 1930s. A true unicorn, this Bugatti has just two known examples that are relatively era original and a further one that has been missing for decades.

One of the most bizarre, elusive and expensive cars in the world, the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic has a really low stance, a surprisingly powerful engine capable of achieving 123 mph and what would become an influential teardrop body design, thought up and drawn by Ettore Bugatti's son, Jean Bugatti. Many believe this is the ultimate Bugatti and the first supercar ever made.

Powered by the now historic and discontinued 3.3-litre inline-8, the 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic was given Bugatti's first evolution of a supercharger. We may not be able to drive this car in real life, unless you own one of the two remaining examples, but this is another fantastic reason to include this incredible vehicle from a somewhat unappreciated era of cars in sim racing.

Isdera Commendatore 112i​

The Commendatore 112i was a concept car designed and developed by the small German production company Isdera. Introduced at the 1993 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 112i featured a compact and aerodynamic positive body, inspired by the days of Group C Sports Car racing. The company went bankrupt very soon after production began, meaning just one prototype was fully completed.

A V12 unit from Mercedes powered the car, the same unit as the Pagani Zonda S. With plans to enter Le Mans from 2000 onwards, the company also had a heavy Group C influence from the very start. The Commendatore 112i also shared many other parts with cars from a similar era, such as headlights from a Porsche 968, brakes from a 928, and an altered transmission from RUF, which converted it from a five-speed to a six-speed gearbox.

The story behind the name, Commendatore 112i, is based on honouring a legend of the industry, Ferrari's founder Enzo Ferrari. The man behind the prancing horse was awarded the title Commendatore II, meaning 'Knight Commander' in Italian.

For those of you who remember Need for Speed II, published in 1997, you might recognise this car. It is the only appearance of the Isdera Commendatore 112i in a video game so far, so seeing it brought into the modern day in Assetto Corsa EVO could be fantastic for immortalising this unbelievably niche German supercar!
