Icarus, in Greek mythology, was the son of Daedalus and the legend says that he ignored his father's advice when he was flying with a pair of crafted wings.

Since the beginning of consoles and computer gaming, the new born industry had many troubles getting official licenses. Official automotive brands were always very elusive to lend their properties to development studios. To cope with the issue, we enjoyed many fictional cars and series like Ridge Racer, LFS, art of rally and lastly, more elaborated ideas like Dallara iR-01.
VCO, what many of you know as one of the biggest esports organizers, has gone a step further to offer something different in the future. Now we have an alliance with Munich design experts who will develop a new car for the incoming competition.
These design experts are part of MUNIQ, a company which already worked in the automotive industry and can give us its own experience to develop featured designs and driving physics with unique style.
With this initiative, both companies try to explore new limits on the automotive industry and simracing as well. The first VCARUS model will debut at ADAC Simracing Expo on 4th December and it is planned to be ready for the professional teams by February next year.
