On February 19th, the first content update for the early access of Assetto Corsa EVO arrives with Fuji Speedway and two thoroughbred Italian performance cars from Lamborghini and Lancia.
Since releasing on January 16th, the early access for Assetto Corsa EVO boasted five tracks (some with alternative layouts) and 20 cars to choose from. Kunos also subsequently released a roadmap, confirming certain additional tracks releasing at intermittent points before the expected full release later this year.
We are now fast approaching that first point where more content will be added and as shown in the roadmap, that first track is Fuji Speedway in Japan. The circuit is the former home of the Japanese Grand Prix and now the World Endurance Championship's stop off in the land of the rising sun.
The circuit will not be the only piece of content getting added, as two famous Italian marques will be present for the first time in AC EVO.
As for the other car, it is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale "Evoluzione 2" which has its pedigree from the world of rallying. Its production ran from 1987 to 1994, and its 2.0-litre turbocharged Inline-4 delivers 215 horsepower that it delivers to all four wheels. Marking a move away from the rear-wheel drive philosophy that the brand prided itself early on during their time in the World Rally Championship with the Lancia Rally 037 or Stratos, for instance.
Lamborghini fans rejoice, as the raging bull is finally represented in AC EVO. Image: Kunos Simulazioni
The update is arriving on February 19th, so keep an eye on the Steam page for the update when it releases.

Assetto Corsa EVO: New Cars
First up is the Lamborghini Huracán STO, which is the lightweight version of the standard Huracán that has its 5.2-litre V10 producing 640 horsepower, 30 more than standard. As a result, it can go from 0-60mph in just three seconds and all the way to 192mph. Plus, it has all the fins and gills one would come to expect from a Lamborghini of old, compared to the rather aesthetically conservative and tame standard car.As for the other car, it is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale "Evoluzione 2" which has its pedigree from the world of rallying. Its production ran from 1987 to 1994, and its 2.0-litre turbocharged Inline-4 delivers 215 horsepower that it delivers to all four wheels.
