    Hi!
    I notice that the Lamborghini Huracan is missing from the GT3 pack.

    Any reason? There are any plans to add Huracan in the future?

    The only Huracan that exist for RF2 is the one from SimTek but it`s really old.
    Thank you

    Hurracan, Ferrari 488/458, Honda/Acura NSX, Nissan GT3-R, Lexus, all are missing from rF2. Most likely due to either being un-available because some are licensed to ACC or the cost of licensing may be too high. Since they have not been mentioned by anyone from S397, we can guess(and that is JUST GUESS) that they will not be available anytime in the near future, if at all.

    Well, that sucks. It`s all inverted.
    The brands should pay to Studio397 for having their names on the best sim racing experience ever. It`s publicity.

    There might be some such brands, who would offer a license for some car for free. But probably none from simracers beloved gt3 cars, and most definitely not a high profile brand.

    Publitcity? The publicity is to increase the sales, no?
    How much would be the increasing of sales of lamborghini or ferrari if S397 would include one of their cars in rF2?
    For sure that most of us will buy one of them. Eeeee ¿no? :p
    If those brands can get money selling their designs to game companies, why wouldn't they do it?

    It`s not a matter of buying one. It`s a matter of how the public see the brand (and a reminder).
    For example, I never cared about Bentley`s, but since I`m a sim racer, I`m a fan of the brand (at least in the race aspect).... publicity!

    I am thinking of buying Hurracan but would love to try it in RF2 first to check fuel consumption and to see how it handles at Nordschleife. :D

    If publicity doesn't increase sales, Instead of being an investment it's an expense.
    The publicity for Bentley is the Blancpain. This can increase the sales of cars.
    The publicity in a sim can increase the sales of tshirts.
    It's totally different.
    Ferrari has a good bussiness selling tshirts, caps, etc. And their cars can help to increase the sales of a game. And that determines the price.
    It's not the case of Bentley.

    ACC has paid insane amount of cash to have all the GT3 cars Licensed, if rF2 had all those tasty GT3s, ACC would just die :D
