Hmm, not to keen on the styling but it's impresive. It's just such a pity that Volvo can't take these new VEA engines and stick another cyliner on them. Resurecting 5 cyl performance engines would be a massive boost for the brand. The top engine is only 410bhp with the hybrid motor boosting performance, while the Audi R8 is 420bhp in standard spec, never mind the R10.

Volvos new 4 cylinder petrol is quite an eye opener though.

My uncle was telling me about it a few days back - It's a 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder, turbo charged AND supercharged, produces around 306hp if I remember correctly and still maintains around 40mpg....

Apparently they've invested millions in this one engine - Sounds pretty good!

Gotta agree the stying leaves a lot to be desired, the back end is quite nice, but the rest is awfull. If I didnt know better I'd have said its a work of fiction and has just been modeled by someone in a 3d package

Is it just me that loves the styling of it? lmfao - it almost reminds me of a lambo look, deffo got balls

Shame concepts never seem to actually appear on the market - they always get tamed down to look the same as everything else
