Volvo C30 Concept

Never mind the Rich Yankee disregard for hatches. This one is hot. Starting with the exterior, the front is characterized by angled headlamps and a low, wide grille. Wheel arches define the side, and a sloping roofline and exaggerated greenhouse gives the car a fast, aggressive appearance. Car shoppers will be familiar with the tail light setup in back, as it’s like all Volvo SUVs – a nod to safety, without compromising style. Inside, the C30 Concept is a four-seater, and will likely stay that way. The package is powered by a five-cylinder turbocharged engine that makes 260 horsepower and will supposedly get to 60 mph in six seconds, driving 19-inch wheels with Brembo brakes front and rear. There will also likely be a four-cylinder, lower trim offering when the car goes on sale next summer. For now, all there is to do is gaze at the sporty styling of what very well could be the sexiest car ever built by a bunch of boring Swedes since the Volvo P1800 ES, more than 30 years ago.
