Before You Start: Requirements

Before downloading any AC mods, make sure you have:

Assetto Corsa installed via Steam (the game must be launched at least once to generate its folder structure).
Content Manager (optional but highly recommended) — a third-party launcher that makes installing mods dramatically easier.
Enough storage space — car mods typically range from 50 MB to 500 MB each. > 💡 Tip: Content Manager is free and can be downloaded from the official Content Manager GitHub page. Many in the community consider it essential.

Step-by-Step: How to Download Assetto Corsa Car Mods

Step 1 — Visit AssettoCars.com

Navigate to assettocars.com and browse the available car mods. You can use the search bar or filter by category to find what you're looking for.

Step 2 — Choose a Mod

Click on a car mod you want. Read the description, check the screenshots, and confirm it's compatible with your version of Assetto Corsa (most mods are broadly compatible).

Step 3 — Download the Mod File

Click the download button. The mod will typically come as a .zip or .rar archive. Save it somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop or a dedicated AC Mods folder.

Step-by-Step: How to Install Assetto Corsa Car Mods

There are two main methods: Manual Installation and Content Manager Installation. We'll cover both.

Method 1: Manual Installation

This is the traditional approach and works without any third-party tools.

1. Locate Your Assetto Corsa Installation Folder

By default, Assetto Corsa is installed at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa

2. Open the `cars` Folder

Inside the Assetto Corsa root folder, navigate to:

assettocorsa > content > cars

This folder contains all the vehicle data that Assetto Corsa loads.

3. Extract the Mod

Open your downloaded .zip or .rar file using a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip. Inside the archive, you should see a folder with the car's name (e.g., ferrari_488_gt3_evo).

Drag and drop this folder directly into:

assettocorsa > content > cars

4. Launch the Game

Start Assetto Corsa. The new car should now appear in your car selection menu under its respective category.

⚠️ Important: Make sure the mod folder goes directly into the cars folder — not inside another subfolder. Each car should have its own folder containing files like data, sfx, ui, and .kn5 model files.

Method 2: Installing with Content Manager

Content Manager makes installing AC mods a one-click process.

1. Open Content Manager

Launch Content Manager instead of launching Assetto Corsa directly through Steam.

2. Go to the Content Tab

In Content Manager, navigate to Content → Cars.

3. Drag and Drop the ZIP File

Simply drag your downloaded .zip file directly onto the Content Manager window. It will automatically detect it as a car mod and install it for you.

4. Confirm Installation

Content Manager will show you a preview of the car and ask you to confirm. Click Install and you're done.

✅ Content Manager also handles updates, lets you enable/disable mods, and organizes everything neatly — this is why most players use it.

Verifying Your Mod Installation

Once installed, verify the mod is working correctly:

Launch Assetto Corsa (or use Content Manager's built-in launcher).
Go to Single Player → Quick Race or Hotlap.
In the car selection screen, search for the car you just installed.
Select it and load a track. If the car loads without errors and you can drive it, the installation was successful!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem	Solution
Car doesn't appear in game	Check that the folder is directly inside `content/cars/`
Game crashes when selecting car	The mod may be corrupted — re-download it
Missing textures or black car	Some mods require CSP (Custom Shaders Patch) — install it via Content Manager
Physics feel wrong	Check if the mod requires a specific setup or has known issues in its readme
Car appears in wrong category	Normal — category assignment depends on the mod creator

Tips for Getting the Most Out of AC Mods

Stick to reputable sources like assettocars.com to avoid corrupted or malicious files.
Read the mod description — many mods have optional skins, setups, or dependencies listed.
Install Custom Shaders Patch (CSP) and Sol weather mod for dramatically improved visuals that make your mods look even better.
Back up your content/cars folder periodically so you don't lose your mod collection.
Check for updates — popular mods often receive physics and visual improvements over time.

- Join the community — forums and Discord servers dedicated to Assetto Corsa modding are great places to discover new mods and get help.
