Nelsonian Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I only recently came across news of this concept that by now must be around a year old. I have always loved the lines of the original and would definately love to see this new approach happen. Video shows it at 38 sec in...

e_racer1999 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 OOOoooohhhh.... One of our dailies is a '73 144. Didn't click the vid; is this an official concept? Or something like the GRID 240Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Video says it is a one-off 600hp car. We need videos, it's pretty sweet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Apparently Matias Voxx (sp?), who was instrumental in the Koenigsegg ccx is a volvo fan and behind this new idea. Sure hope it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that car, that actual picture is the background on my laptop at home. I also saw TWO p1800's yesterday! one cruising around and the other parked. There is one at an auto body shop where i live and i stumbled upon it a few months ago when i was there. That car be a sick daily/cruiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 That is the hottest car with a new design I have seen in a LONG time. If they came out with one, even if it doesn't have the 600hp. I would buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benitoz Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have p1800 forsale in denver colorado 1400.00 these cars are cool the interior has a neat look and is really comfy. The way the body is molded togather from the factory is crazy. The tractor engines in theme go 3 million miles =) I can see why volvo made changes with the body after thep1800, a car constucted like this driven around where it is built where it snow most of the time, if you run into somthing with the p1800 the repair cost would be very high. That must be why they went the the punch em out square fenders and box style after making a car like this. Obviously there were changes in factorys where this car was made. I must say these modern pics make me drool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
