Default Volvo Hot Rod.

I thought this was cool in it's own right, but I'll let you make your mind up about it.
In 1927 Volvo unveiled their first car ,the ÖV4 affectionally called Jakob.
Now Swedish Hot Rod builder Caresto has build a modern day Jakob to celebrate the original.
It uses the gearbox out of the 960 and a 2.5litre turbo inline 5 running on E85 and making 256hp.
Best looking volvo in a long time

Very nice. I love innovation. I'd love to be a "Bloody Volvo Driver" in that thing.

No Need for a parcel shelf, There is a small leather port attatched to the front to carry the Lawn Bowls, and the Hat can sit on your lap
