Latest Auto News Blog: Volvo P1800: Koenigsegg-Treated

Sweden’s two most popular auto makers are undoubtedly Volvo and Koenigsegg. While they may be from the same country, their visual interpretation of what a car should be differs. Volvo is the sensible, practical, and safe way to get from point A to B. Koenigsegg, wants to get from point A to B the fastest way possible. At the middle of these two poles is Mattias Vocks, who has a day job at Koenigsegg but turns into Batman at night and develops pimpified Volvos. Take this P1800, a sexy 60’s svelte that’s been given the proper makeover by Vocks. He enhanced the curves of the car, placed necessary aero parts, and gave it a monstrous engine. It will be powered by a 4.4 liter, turbocharged V8 yanked from the XC90. Fitting the massive engine to a six-speed manual, thick clouds of smoke from the rear wheel should be normal. Production is expected in the horizon for this baby and expect the waiting list to be long and distinguished.
