Volvo S40 by Evolve (http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/evolve_s40.asp)

niiiiice ... and AWD too, sweet.

I once saw a V40 [gen 1 wagon] that was lowered on some tasteful wheels, and thought to myself "that's something you don't see every day."

this is a little more extreme but all the more awesome :tup:

That is a sweet Volvo!! I have seen that car on another forum and it still impresses me everytime I see it. I would love to see some of the older Volvo's like the 750 or 850 series cars laying down that much power.

that Evolve car was hot !!

the rear suspension was moved to fit those 11" width wheels

here's pics i took from SEMA

Sick car.

Weird to think it's on the same platform as the Focus.

Same AWD system as the TT (Haldex)

[bugzy]

Sorry to ruin the mood but:

I hate it.
1. 305 mm wide tires on the rear of a mostly FWD car? Not to mention needing 8*- camber to make it fit.
2. Its stock HP numbers, no chip, no built internals. Trust me, that turbo and header is nice (except it makes it damn near impossible to get to the spark plugs) would easily lay waste to the stock internals (300whp tops before they go pop).
3. Not a single part on the car will do anything good for the volvo community. What can you buy from that car? Nothing.

You guys should see the project Im building for a few volvo companies for SEMA '05 :D Almost every single part will be an off the shelf bolt on... and were shooting for around a DYNO VERIFIED 700-750whp from it :D

You saw me at SoCalEuro show last year right?

Then you saw an older volvo making more power. Actually quite a few of us make more power than a stock s40T5awd. Just saying... its alot of hype and its very disapointing from my point of view. Volvo tuning is so small that concept cars do no one any good.

I So need one of those!! My '03 S40 looks so plain now that i've seen the future!!

Also saw a Volvo SUV made of Legos (?)

The blue XC90?

We had one of those @ Legoland this summer; Lego (a Danish company) partnered up with Volvo.

[jross]

Looks "good", I guess, but I'll believe the hp #s when I see it. Evolve is great for looks, but their "power" side sucks big hairy monkey nuts.

It was an XC90 but this one was red.

There is actually a Body Kit being fabbed right now based on a cross from this Evolve kit and the SAAB Viggen kit and should look as sick as this Volvo when it's done. I love see Volvo and SAAB enthusiasts sharing good ideas!

[vdubinn]

ya that car is sick, on the cover of February's Eurotuner

[stevehayes01]

I heard they were supposed to have had it at the LA Auto SHow also but I never made it down to see if it was really there or not.
