for a moment we got pretty excited when Volvo’s new Senior Vice President of Design, Thomas Ingeniath referred the Volvo Concept Coupe as not a futuristic dream car. alas, that does not necessary means what you here would come to fruition as is, but rather it points toward the capability of Volvo’s new architecture which will be carried forward to future Volvo cars.
