uh wow. I think that’s hump-worthy…. I would like for someone to offer him a deal to make a kit out of it… I think an s80-salvaged hotrod would be SWEEET… if not… well, good for him… it’s beautifully executed… c’mon… this is a car he built in his GARAGE…

Correct robins egg blue DOES NOT belong on a roadster AT ALL. And the red brick brown interior doesn’t go with the blue exterior AT ALL Either.. Is he color blind ? nice roadster design but he should have someone other than stevie wonder pick the colors…

Robin’s Egg Blue on a hot-rod would get your ass beat in most circles….

Why is Volvo involved in hot-rods? Too many Ford romantics in management??

ironpony & nowei -

Volvo’s V8 is the Yamaha V8 which is the same V8 that was cancelled from the Lincoln MKS project – one and the same.

Take that top, drive over it, then throw it away—forever. Other than that, it looks great!

I would imagine that Volvo’s V8s might be heavily based on something from Ford, but that’s just a guess. And, I guess Ford has worked with Yamaha in the past.

That being said, this car looked amazing when I first saw it. Then I saw the interior.

If you’re going to customize the whole freaking car, I would think that you could at least go the extra mile and customize the steering wheel as well. The amount of supposedly custom cars that use stock components like this is absolutely mind-boggling.

I thought Yamaha supplied the V8 to Volvo for the XC90… Do they have an inhouse V8 aswell? Neat car.

That’s pretty cool…
…but didn’t Volvo do a hot-rod/roadster concept a couple years ago?
