  • AC Rally’s V0.7 set to include ‘two new cars’
  • New update also set to feature new laser-scanned stage

Supernova Games Studios has revealed a new teaser for V0.7 of Assetto Corsa Rally, showcasing unmistakable hints of the Lancia Delta S4.

The S4 debuted in the final round of the 1985 WRC championship, claiming a one-two finish on the Lombard RAC Rally thanks to drivers Henri Toivonen and Markku Alén, respectively. Using both a supercharger and a turbocharger to mitigate turbo lag, the car arguably became the fastest example of the Group B ruleset, despite never winning a championship.

However, Lancia’s Markku Alén was crowned 1986 Drivers’ Champion until a controversial FISA ruling regarding the results of that year’s Sanremo Rally saw Peugeot’s Juha Kankkunen crowned.

AC Rally’s V0.7 update, which Supernova says is ‘coming soon’, will also include at least one new laser-scanned stage, with yesterday’s preview perhaps hinting at a decidedly Scandinavian-looking location.

However, Supernova has today said two cars are on the way, leaving us wondering about the identity of the second. With a Group B Lancia all but confirmed, attention may turn to the car’s proposed Group S successor, the ECV.

However, that car’s distinctive red paint scheme would be hard to miss, making the ECV2, built in 1988, a more likely option. Italtecnica’s modern Lancia Delta S4 Evo2 could also be a contender, as it’s a faithful reconstruction of Lancia’s planned 1987 car, sharing much of the S4’s DNA. 


Regardless, based on previous teaser cadence, Traxion expects AC Rally’s next update to drop this month, with it and its sister title, Assetto Corsa EVO, set to exit Early Access in the first half of 2027.
