Brand new, the idea is not. Volvo played as early as 2013 with the idea that the study of a coupe inspired our imagination, but was then in Serie nothing. The Times have changed. The brand has a tailwind, the higher positioning in the premium segment running successfully. The Volvo XC90 is a bestseller worldwide, the prospects for S90 and V90 are good. A coupe and round out the selection is therefore more than just an option.
If one believes the Swedish Auto Motor & Sport, then the decision is in Gothenburg already fallen. The new Volvo Coupe to 2017 go into production, very concretely in the KW50 / 2017 with the legendary P1800, whose name should be there, it has certainly little in common. It will be even more prestigious.
The body is made largely of carbon fiber, the Volvo to be only 4:38 meters long. The study of 2013 had a length of 4.50 m. to be responsible charged 4cylinder engines with more than 450 hp for the drive. 600 hp are called at Auto Motor & Sport, as an electric rear axle wheel option.
A Volvo from the Saab factory in Trollhättan?
Yesterday, it was assumed that the P1800 in the former Saab Trollhättan plant would go into production. A confirmation did not exist, only a wall of silence. Today the rumor of several Swedish media was denied. Production of the new Volvo P1800 should not take place in Trollhättan, but in small, exclusive numbers on the prototype plant in Hisingen.
A high-tech carbon fiber coupe would be the product Image unlock to Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. A 4cylinder with multiple charging should be no problem. Porsche it dares in 718, why not also in Volvo P1800?
