7. Toyota Supra JZA80 GT500 2005

8. BMW M1 Procar

Some cars, like the BMW M1, are born legends right from the start. Designed for a life on the race track, the BMW M1 established its reputation very early when it entered the record books as “Germany’s fastest sports car” in the late 1970s. The car featured a six-cylinder power unit which was heavily modified to deliver just shy of 500 BHP. Despite its rather minimalistic interior, the car could boast with a futuristic exterior design thanks to Lamborghini who partnered with BMW and made the car’s chassis. In 1979, Niki Lauda won the first Procar BMW M1 Championship, which was held by BMW Motorsport to support the development of Formula One cars. You can download the car mod from here.

9. NISMO Skyline R33 GT-R LM

The NISMO Skyline R33 GT-R LM is one of the rarest and the most iconic Japanese cars ever made. Nissan made only 188 examples of this car since 1996, with 86 wearing the GT-R badge, and the other 102 adorning the V-Spec badge. Every car was finished in Championship Blue paint, featured unique GT-R decals, and had a carbon fiber rear spoiler. The Skyline R33 GT-R LM had a curb weight of 1,150 kg, and was equipped with the N1 specification engine that could produce around 400 horsepower.

10. Rimac Nevera

Although there are hundreds of car mods for Assetto Corsa that are worth including in this list, we thought we should include at least one electric car mod on our list of the top 10 must-have car mods for Assetto Corsa. Our top pick for this category was the all-new 2021 Rimac Nevera, which is currently considered to be the fastest-accelerating production car on the planet.
