  | New retro supercar based on the original Volvo P1800        Bo Zolland from Vizualtech has designed a modern day Volvo P1800 for Mattias Vöx(engineer at Köenigsegg supercars). Vizualtech did the whole body of this modern day P1800. According to Bo they tried to keep the fine lines of the Classic Volvo P-1800. Some of the main changes include a longer front (by 70 mm), new front and rear lights, glass roof integrated with rear window, new fornt and rear diffuser, new wings, new hood, new mirrors, new door handles, wheels.. etc. Under the hood is a V8 engine fitted with turbo from the Volvo XC90. Estimated power range is between 550-600 horsepower. No information on pricing, but we do know it will enter a very limited series production. Stay tuned for more details. Source: GlobalMotors.net

| I really do like it, but in all honesty it's not that unique concept. People like Chuck Foose and a few others have been doing this for years. Basicall, updating an old school car with new tech and a new sheetmetal.

| They just dropped it like it's hot y'all. And becaue of that it looks like a music video star instead of a desirable replica-classsic.
