    This is an abomination, not because of the way it looks, but because you'll never forget that it is badge engineering of a kind way worse than even GM ever tried.

    That is actually a pretty sweet little car. Stretching it ten inches wouldn't hurt either.

    The love child of a 60's Ferrari and a DB5. The extended nose and the faired in lights pull the shape together well. Gotta agree on the wheels - something with a -40 to -45 sidewall and commensurately size wheel would be a better choice.

    I'll echo the "those wheels are too damn big!" sentiment. I also don't like the dip in the front bumper- think it would look cleaner and better straight across. But I love the modern interpretations of the original styling cues, especially that character line that runs the front fenders and swoops up on the doors. Classic.


    They could shrink the front and dump in a 200HP I4, and I'd still buy it. Frankly, I'd be more likely to buy it!

    I am somewhat conflicted about this car. And here is the reason why. While I am all for driving cars that have a masculine emblem on the grille, like this:



    The problem is, driving down the street, one look at the thing is laughable. The hood is so long, it makes it look like this:

    If Volvo actually would make that (rather than a limited run by That Dude) FoMoCo would be bailing out the US government in a few years time.

    Lovely looking but looks pretty big to me. The ole' car was a pretty sleek car...for some odd reason there are quite a few here in Maine.

    @Andrew Ian Dodge: There does seem to be a rather large old-Volvo fanclub here (including me), I agree.. I don't see how this is an improvement over the original, except (arguably) the V8- but if the 4 is good enough for Irv Gordon, it's good enough for me.


    "A 1966 Volvo 1800S owned by Irvin Gordon of East Patchogue, New York, USA has the Guinness world record for highest mileage in the same vehicle he has been driving for more than 40 years. It had covered in excess of 3,572,342 km (2,219,751 miles) by March 2004, and passed the 4,184,294 kilometers (km) (2,600,000 mile) mark by October 2007. It is currently at 2.7 million miles and he is now targeting the three million mile mark.


    He has driven about 41,000 of those kilometers outside of the U.S., in Canada and Mexico, as well as abroad in Europe. "In Sweden, we drove to Volvo's global headquarters to see where the P1800 was born" Gordon had said.


    On April 2, 2002, Gordon and his 1800S were guests on The Tonight Show! with Jay Leno, after reaching the 2-million milestone.


    Four million kilometers, or 2,485,484 miles, is:


    Almost 100 times around the Earth (via the equator).
    Twice the diameter of the Sun.
    Nearly five round-trips to the Moon.
    1,111 completions of the Tour de France."

    Seems the Koenigsegg engineer invented an A pillar that has the approximate dimensions of a buttfloss bikini and a c-pillar that is apparently 2 dimensional..


    Unless he's channeling some magical nano based timbrel vaulting that is unbeknownst to modern engineers, this is likely to remain in the photoshop realm.
