Guide To The GT2s, GT3s & GT4s in Assetto Corsa Evo

Assetto Corsa Competizione crafted a reputation for being one of the most popular GT racing simulators over the last 6 years. It boasted a wide range of contemporary GT cars and tracks, and offered an endless door-to-door racing emporium through the likes of SimGrid.

Developers Kunos Simulazioni have since ended active development of the title in favour of its latest passion project, Assetto Corsa Evo. While Evo has been designed as more of a sandbox-style game, closer in approach to the original Assetto Corsa, the Italian operation isn’t turning its back on the GT racing world.

It is gradually adding more and more examples of modern GT cars to AC Evo, so Coach Dave Academy decided to stitch together a guide of all the GT2, GT3, and GT4 cars currently found in the title. 

GT2

Maserati GT2

The first of two GT2-specification cars currently featured within AC Evo is the Maserati GT2, which is based on the Italian marque’s MC20 road car. It comes sporting a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V6 engine kicking out 621 horsepower in base spec, though this can be altered for Balance of Performance purposes. 

Having first made its competition debut in the 2023 GT2 European Series, the Mazzer immediately showed what it was capable of. It ended up claiming a total of four overall wins during the 2024 season en route to second in the overall championship, while Phippe Prette managed five wins on his way to the Am title behind the wheel of the machine. It remains a competitive proposition to this day, and currently fights against a sole rival in AC Evo. 

Mercedes-AMG GT2

The Mercedes-AMG GT2 is a different beast from the Maserati, seeing as its larger 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is placed out front. Due to the car’s layout, which means it isn’t as light or agile as the Maserati, it is allowed to run an increased 707 hp. This makes it quicker down the straights, but you’ll have to work harder to not lose the time gained through the bends. 

It has proven effective at tracks suited to it, though, with the car claiming victory on debut in the 2023 GT2 European Series at the Red Bull Ring. It claimed a single overall win in 2025 en route to second in the Pro-Am drivers standings.

Both cars offer very different handling balances, so you’ll need to jump behind the wheel of both to work out which best suits your driving style. The Maserati is faster and more agile through the corners, while the big Merc is more stable and quicker down the straights.

GT3

Ferrari 296 GT3

Joining AC Evo’s GT3 ranks as part of the 0.6 build is the Ferrari 296 GT3. This is the first variation of the Italian racer, and not the Evo version introduced for the 2026 motorsport season. Based on the 296 GTB road car, the 296 GT3s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is placed in the middle of its chassis, as opposed to the front like the M4. This offers it more agile handling than the BMW, though it’s a little more unstable as a result. 

The car has proven effective in a variety of hands since its 2023 introduction, with the car having claimed north of 100 wins across the highest-ranking series around the globe. Highlights include victory in the 2023 Nurburgring 24 Hours, as well as the GT Challenge Europe Endurance title in 2024. 

The Prancing Horse stirs up the souls of most motorsport fans, and the 296 GT3 has earned a wide range of fans as a result. It also represents the only non-front-engined GT3 car currently found in AC Evo, too, meaning those who prefer the layout will be rescued by this Italian stallion. 

Ford Mustang GT3

The 296 GT3 isn’t alone in joining AC Evo as part of 0.6, as the Ford Mustang GT3 becomes part of the title’s GT3 contingent. It’s arguably the purest of the currently available cars, with its naturally aspirated 5.4-litre Coyote V8 providing a refreshing engine note against its turbocharged competitors. Plus, that emotive Mustang styling provides a contrast to the more exotic designs found on the likes of the 296 GT3 and Lamborghini Temerario GT3. 

It has failed to match the success of its rivals in reality, though the Mustang GT3 at least managed to claim a total of three wins during the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship season. This was enough to bag third overall in the GTD Pro drivers and teams fixtures, with one of these wins coming at the prolific 24 Hours of Daytona. The Mustang also claimed a popular podium finish at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of its World Endurance Championship exploits. 

BMW M4 GT3 Evo

The BMW M4 GT3 Evo was the first to arrive in AC Evo, and with it came the latest upgrades bestowed upon the German marque’s ultra-successful GT3 challenger. Alongside revised aerodynamics that make it more stable and more effective in dirty air, as well as an upgraded chassis that improves tyre wear over longer stints, BMW went to town on it. 

There’s also a new braking system and various areas of weight saving, which all add together to create a more versatile racer. Its twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six engine remains pretty much unchanged, though, ensuring it has similar on-throttle characteristics to its forerunner. The changes clearly worked, as the M4 GT3 Evo cleaned up during its 2025 debut campaign. 

Highlights included a win at the storied 24 Hours of Nurburgring, a coveted overall title in the GT Challenge Europe series, as well as various wins in the IMSA SportsCar Series and the DTM. It very nearly claimed the overall honours in the latter too, though the Marco Wittman-piloted machine was denied in a bold final lap pass by eventual champion Ayhancan Guven in his Porsche.  

Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport

The final GT3 machine on the agenda technically doesn’t class as a GT3, at least on paper. The 911 GT3 R Rennsport is based on the 911 GT3 R racer we all know and love from the world of sports car racing, but this has a few little extras installed. It has a bespoke carbon fibre body that celebrates Porsche’s sports car racing heritage, as evidenced by its wild 1970s-inspired rear wing. It also weighs around 10 kg less than its GT3 sibling, and produces 55 horsepower more due to its 4.2-litre NA flat-six being treated to revised pistons and camshafts, as well as a new exhaust system. 

Alongside adding a bit of extra grunt, the exhaust system rids the car of the silencers used to keep it muffled, allowing the full bellow of its powerplant to be enjoyed by everyone within 10 miles of it. 

As a result, it doesn’t conform to GT3 regulations. Kunos has been kind enough to offer two versions of the car in AC Evo, however. One will run in unrestricted spec, offering you the chance to drive a GT3 on steroids, while the other is BOP’d to run with the other GT3 machinery included, providing the best of both worlds.

GT4

Audi R8 LMS GT4 Evo

Another class you’ll be aware of from ACC is GT4, which essentially functions as the feeder class to GT3. As a result, they head into battle with less power and downforce than their GT3 counterparts. The Audi R8 LMS GT4 is the second car built to these regulations added to AC Evo, and arrived as part of the 0.6 build. Featuring a screaming 5.2-litre V10 placed in the middle of its chassis, the R8 is one of the most emotive GT4 cars available. 

Introduced in 2020, the updated version of Audi’s GT4 contender has been a consistent challenger in various GT4 categories around the world. Arguably, its biggest achievement was the Silver Cup title in the 2025 GT4 European Series, in which the car claimed the chequered flag four times in 12 starts. 

Audi no longer supports the machine due to its focus on its Formula 1 World Championship programme, but the R8 GT4 Evo is still running at its full potential within AC Evo. Currently, it has one rival to square up against.  

Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 Clubsport

The 718 GT4 Clubsport is the racing version of Porsche’s successful Cayman sports car, and it has been a staple of GT4 competition worldwide since 2019. It has won countless races during this time, mainly due to its rock-solid mechanics that ensure it is a threat no matter the circuit. Power comes from a mid-mounted 3.8-litre flat-six powerplant, while the chassis is finely tuned to ensure it provides a docile and confidence-inspiring cornering balance for its driver. The Cayman is an approachable car, making a nice difference versus other mid-engined racers that are more aggressive in the bends. 

Like its R8 GT4 Evo rival, the Cayman comes with adjustable suspension and braking systems, as well as lightly adjustable aero. Choosing between these two ultra-successful GT4 weapons can be tough, so the best way to make a decision is by heading out on track and putting them through their paces yourself. 

Final Thoughts

Watch this space for more GT racers coming to AC Evo, as Kunos looks to have increased the frequency of vehicles arriving over the last couple of updates. Before too long, we can hope to have access to most, if not all, of the current GT racers competing around the world. Combined with AC Evo’s more diverse range of tracks versus ACC, there’s plenty to look forward to.
