Volvo S60 2010
A few weeks ago we brought you the first hint of Volvo's new S60 concept car and here are the first images of the vehicle that will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in early January 2009. The Concept gives an indication of what the all-new Volvo S60 will look like when it's launched in 2010. The coupe-inspired lines that gave the original S60 its characteristic stance are more pronounced in this next generation.
"The concept car's exterior gives a clear indication of what customers can expect of the all-new S60. On the inside we've been even more daring," says Volvo Cars Design Director, Steve Mattin.
The front of the S60 Concept sports the enlarged iron mark in the trapezoidal grille. The two lamps that flank the grille emphasize the vertical stance of the front, highlighting the hood's V-shape. The angled headlamps flow into the sculptured hood and, combined with the lower air intake's reverse trapezoidal shape, gives the concept car an expressive "face".
Viewed from the side, the concept's slim coupe roofline and windows are accompanied by an entirely new shoulder line, forming a gentle double wave from the headlamps to the rear. Both the seven-spoke 20" wheels and the tread of the low-profile tyres have been specially designed, while the bronze brake calipers match the `Warm Liquid Copper' paint on the car.
The unique rear parallelogram doors offer a spectacular show when opened or closed. Door opening is initiated by pressing a button and the movement starts in the traditional way. In the next phase, the forward section swings away from the body and the door glides parallel with the side of the car until it reaches its end position by the rear wheel
