UPDATE 15 Sep 2021: !!! IMPORTANT !!! If your car is stuck in the air and doesn't drive, make sure you are using the special 4.26-chaos/4.27-chaos/UE5 EA versions, all available from the Epic Launcher and NOT the "regular" 4.26/4.27 versions which still uses PhysX and not Chaos Physics. Chaos Vehicles need Chaos Physics and will NOT work with the regular 4.26/4.27 version despite the fact that the plugin is enabled and that you get no errors whatsoever.

UPDATE 17 Dec 2020: As announced, Epic has just released a 4.26-Chaos Preview version available directly from the Launcher, so it is no longer necessary to compile from source to enable Chaos. If you still want to compile from source, please check my video here:    • How to Compile Unreal Engine 4.26 fro...  

Unreal Engine 4.26 includes, among the many other features, the first release of the new Chaos Vehicles. In this step-by-step tutorial I will show you how to prepare, import and configure a car to turn it into a Chaos Vehicle you can drive around in your game.

This tutorial is based on UE 4.26 Preview 1, so things may look a bit different in the official release.
