Vox Customs presents modern Volvo P1800

Mattias Vöx, the Koenigsegg engineer who has done some work on cars with the Volvo badge, one of which was his 1967 Amazon Station wagon from which he squeezed 600hp (448kW), is currently facing a new challenge.

The new challenge consists of taking the famous Volvo P1800 sports car and turn it into a fearsome machine. To aid him in updating the car, Vöx has solicited the assistance of Vizualtech, a design company from Sweden which has made several computer aided images showing the new bespoke vehicle. Although the general lines of the vintage P1800 will be maintained, changes will have to be made to make room for the state-of-the-art equipment that Vöx intends to equip the car with, including a front extension of the car reaching 70mm and larger wheel housings. Since Vöx will be installing a new V8 powerplant from the Volvo XC90 SUV, these revisions will help accommodate the large engine.

I kinda like it. I'm curious to see how much it will actually sell for.

Love this car.

That styling is fantastic, especially the C-pillar.

Great to see modern components mated to an old-school car.

Sek-say. I love the cars that Vox has done. It would be cool to see these being made like a Swedish Weissman. I wouldn't be able to afford it, but it sure would be an awesome street machine.
