What a fabulous looking car.

Stereo looks a bit of a stretch though!

If they could keep the A/B/C pillar sizes ANYTHING like that, I'd have one.

The general all round visibility is why I love my classic as a daily.

[RumpleFugly]

Loved his Amazon station wagon he built a few years back. Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

[RB Will]

Is this allowed on PH? looks a bit Stanceworks to me (bloody ace though)

[aka_kerrly]

WOW
600HP Volvo P1800- that is a fantastic idea.


I'd tone the wheels down a bit and go for a more classic design.

Beautiful cars, utterly ruined with ridiculous wheels

[Asterix]

Funny how the original on Steelies looks, so, so, so much better!

My uncle had a white one when I was a kid - coolest car ever!

[sparkyhx]

oh dear, I just had a moment. - not sure on the 'gunmetal' one

[Krikkit]

I think I'd spec one with less-massive wheels, but what a lovely thing!

Knock an inch or 2 off the wheels was my initial thought.

Surely it wouldn't withstand much of a roll with them pillars

It looks lovely though, spec me one with a diesel autobox so I can pose around, I wouldn't fancy going quick in one

Needs massive wheels to cover massive calipers and disks!!!! Its got 600bhp, needs massive wheels to both put down the power and to stop it....

Just because it has 600hp doesn't mean it needs 22" pimp wheels and concrete suspension.

It's just the kind of halo product that Volvo could do with, they should look at adopting it and pushing it through their dealer channel. They might not sell many but it would get the attention and showroom traffic they need to sell the mundane cars in the range.

Shrink them a couple of sizes and it would be quite nice.

[HustleRussell]

Beautiful apart from the wheels.

[Dr Z]

Stunning! With a few size smaller wheels it would look even better.

That render is many years old now. Cool though.
