Screw Ferrari, Volvo Set To Launch Own Racing Game

Volvo - The Game, S60 Concept

Ferrari Virtual Race too posh for you? Never fear; Volvo is putting the finishing touches on its own free-to-download racing sim - and it looks like an absolute barrel-load of Swedish-flavoured fun.

The imaginatively titled “Volvo - The Game” will be released on Volvo’s global website on May 26, and will feature the shapely S60 Concept alongside a bunch of Volvo race cars. Two tracks will initially be available.

The game has been developed by Swedish company SimBin, who avid gamers may recognise as being the crew behind the excellent GTR series and the retro-tastic GT Legends title. In addition to being able to punt some of Volvo’s finest around a racetrack, Volvo - The Game will also upload your stats to an online leaderboard so that fellow Volvo nuts may be awed by your prowess.

Like Ferrari Virtual Race, Volvo - The Game will be completely free to download. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on a copy, and we’ve got our fingers crossed that a beat-up 240 Turbo wagon will be a playable car. Here’s hoping.
