The popular, and authentic, mobile racing game Real Racing 3 will continue to add to its roster of cars and events in January 2022 with the version 10.1 update – and the Lamborghini Huracán STO is the headline act.
Launched in 2020, the STO is the ultimate incarnation of the mid-engine supercar and is a send-off to the naturally aspirated V10 engine before the Italian manufacturer goes fully hybridised.
Joining the Lamborghini, however, are two intriguing curios. The electric race car concept Nissan Leaf Nismo RC is also arriving in 10.1 with the Ducati bike-powered, 11,000rpm nut job, Volkswagen XL Sport.
When the new update hits, Round 5 will also begin, and that means a new set of events and challenges to play through, with the grand prize being the aforenoted VW. There will also be Limited Time Events specifically for the new Nissan and Lamborghini
Alongside this sit a suite of new Special Events, including the final of the in-game F1 2021 season with a five-day Monaco and Red Bull Ring challenges. For those not in the loop, Real Racing 3 features the official cars, drivers and teams from the real-world Formula 1 championship.
Available for iOS and Android mobile devices, update 10.1 will land on 11th January 2022. We’re also expecting the BMW M4 GT3 to arrive for the game sometime this year. Let us know in the comments below what device you play Real Racing 3 on – we’d love to know!
