Porsche 550 Spyder for Assetto Corsa

What this mod does

The Porsche 550 Spyder is the small 1950s race car with an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine. This mod by Ensyuya (Mitsunari Ishii), with physics by Patrice Cote, comes with two variants and has a rating of 4.75 out of 5.

Versions

• Base: 1955 550/1500 RS, with about 110 hp and natural-rubber Dunlop R3 tires.
• S1: late-1950s hill climb build, with RSK engine upgrades from 1,650 to 1,700 cc, synthetic Dunlop R5 tires and a slightly wider rear tire.

What’s included

• V10 tire model, hill climb gearing and simplified setup menus.
• Base engine sounds recorded from a real Type 547; the S1 sound was created by Ensyuya.
• Historic liveries by Patrice Cote and a new template.
• Full damage and revised LODs.

How it drives

According to the mod page it handles well for its era, but it tends to oversteer. The author estimates that it’s 30% more demanding on your PC than the official Alfa Romeo GTA.

Enjoy it on classic circuits or hill climb stages. The author forbids redistributing or modifying it without permission: only share the official link.
