Automobilista 2’s next content drop is shaping up to be a love letter to sports car oddballs, with Reiza lining up a batch of cult classics that rarely show up in a racing sim. According to Traxion, the update will bring in machines like the Spyker C8, the Gillet Vertigo and the Lister Storm — the kind of low-volume, high-character cars that most developers skip over in favour of the usual GT3 grid. TVR and Saleen GT models are also part of the group set to headline the release.

There aren’t full specs or a firm date attached yet, so treat the exact roster as provisional until Reiza confirms it, but the theme is clear: this is a curated selection of late-’90s and 2000s exotics rather than another modern-category filler pack.

Why it matters if you race in AMS2: variety is one of the sim’s genuine strengths, and this leans into that hard. These cars have distinct personalities — the Storm’s big V12, the Spyker’s featherweight aluminium construction, the Vertigo’s rawness — which should translate into a lineup that feels different to drive rather than a set of stat-swapped clones. For anyone who’s tired of grids where every car behaves roughly the same, a pack built around genuine one-offs is a more interesting proposition than another spec series.

It’s also a reminder of the licensing niche Reiza keeps carving out: cars that carry real heritage but wouldn’t fill a paddock elsewhere. We’ll hold judgement on how they actually feel until they’re in our hands, but on paper this is exactly the sort of leftfield content that keeps AMS2 worth dipping back into.
