Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

So tasty, just a shame about that front tyre...

Ja! Ja! Ja!

the first time a volvo has ever been in a wind tunnel and not broken it.

whats the deal with the huge intake leading the rear wheels?
all for the brakes, or is it rooted to the underfloor flow?

The estates they used in the mid-nineties had a much lower CdA than the saloons, but much less downforce post- Alfa's "look what we found in the boot" sudden massive spoiler moment, hence the move to the saloon.

Ah-HA:

possibly the only pretty volvo ever made

i wish they had made a convertible

That always has, and always will make up for their lazy designers drawing round boxes to design cars, besides I think that the V40 is very nice

Stitch weld it, reinforce the sills- may as well as you've cut the bugger up.

Or, if it's to be more than a pose-mobile, weld in a cage- that'd stiffen it up nicely.

I think you should not be allowed near anything over 15 years old.
