Assetto Corsa EVO 0.6: Countach, 288 GTO & Sebring

Kunos Simulazioni is keeping its Early Access momentum going, and the next stop on the roadmap has a distinctly Italian flavor. Assetto Corsa EVO 0.6 pairs two icons of Italian supercar design with a legendary American road course, giving the sim one of its biggest content drops yet. If you’ve been tracking the build on Steam, this is the patch that finally puts the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari 288 GTO in your garage, with Sebring International Raceway waiting on the other side of the loading screen.

Assetto Corsa EVO has kept up a steady pace of content drops since its Early Access launch, and update 0.6 continues that trend. Based on what Kunos has revealed so far, this is a substantial one for both the car list and the track roster. Here’s what’s confirmed so far.

What’s New in Update 0.6

The headline additions split neatly into two categories: cars and circuits. On the car side, Kunos has named four vehicles, with two more still under wraps. Leading the pack are the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari 288 GTO, two of the most recognizable shapes in automotive history. Joining them are the Ferrari 296 GT3 and the Ford Mustang GT3, the latter developed in partnership with Multimatic Motorsports, both aimed squarely at the sim’s growing GT3 racing community.

On the track front, the big news is the arrival of Sebring International Raceway, a circuit that needs no introduction to anyone who follows endurance racing. Together, these additions expand Assetto Corsa EVO’s content library in a way that should please road car enthusiasts and dedicated GT3 racers alike.

Lamborghini Countach Joins the Roster

Few cars define an era quite like the Lamborghini Countach. Designed by Marcello Gandini and produced from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, its wedge-shaped silhouette and scissor doors turned it into a poster car for an entire generation. Its inclusion in Assetto Corsa EVO gives simracers a chance to drive a genuine slice of automotive history rather than just admire it, quirks and all.

Kunos has confirmed the Countach for 0.6, though full technical specs for the in-game model haven’t been published yet. What we do know is that the car fits the studio’s broader approach to Assetto Corsa EVO: a roster that blends modern GT3 machinery with historically significant road cars, giving players a much wider spread of driving experiences than a pure racing sim typically offers.

For longtime Assetto Corsa fans, seeing the Countach make the jump to EVO is a nice full-circle moment, given how many mods and community recreations of the car have circulated across the original game over the years. Having it as an official, natively supported model is a welcome upgrade.

Ferrari 288 GTO Added to the Car List

The Ferrari 288 GTO holds a special place in Ferrari’s history as the car that essentially kicked off the modern supercar lineage. Built in the 1980s and originally conceived for Group B homologation before that category was shut down, the 288 GTO paired a twin-turbocharged V8 with a lightweight composite body, laying the groundwork for the F40 that followed it.

Its arrival in 0.6 puts another genuine piece of Ferrari heritage into the sim, and it pairs naturally with the Countach as a showcase of how different two flagship supercars from the same decade could be. Where the Countach leaned into flamboyant styling and theater, the 288 GTO took a more purposeful, homologation-special approach to performance.

Between the Countach, the 288 GTO, and the two confirmed GT3 entries — the Ferrari 296 GT3 and Ford Mustang GT3 — update 0.6 gives players a genuinely varied set of new machinery, whether the goal is casual cruising or serious wheel-to-wheel racing.

Sebring International Raceway Arrives

If the car list has Italian supercar royalty, the track list answers with one of America’s most storied circuits. Sebring International Raceway, located in Florida, is best known as the home of the 12 Hours of Sebring, one of the oldest and most prestigious endurance races in the world. Its bumpy, patchwork surface — a legacy of the airfield the track was originally built on — has humbled drivers for decades and remains one of the toughest tests in motorsport.

Bringing Sebring into Assetto Corsa EVO gives the sim a circuit with real character, one that rewards precision and punishes complacency in equal measure. It’s a notable addition to the track roster given its history and technical difficulty, and it complements the GT3 additions nicely — Sebring is exactly the kind of endurance-focused circuit where cars like the Ferrari 296 GT3 and Ford Mustang GT3 are built to shine.

As with the new cars, Kunos hasn’t published a full breakdown of layout variants or configuration options for Sebring in this update, so simracers will want to keep an eye on official channels closer to release for the finer details.

Beyond the marquee car and track additions, Assetto Corsa EVO’s incremental update cycle typically brings a batch of smaller refinements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life changes. Kunos hasn’t published complete patch notes for 0.6 at the time of writing, but based on previous updates, players should expect continued polish alongside the new content.
