Volvo T6
The factual accuracy of part of this article is disputed. The dispute is about Top Speed. (March 2008) |
The Volvo T6 was a concept car from Volvo presented in 2005 at SEMA. There was just one hand built copy, although there was some discussion about a limited production run.[1] It is powered by a twin turbocharged 2.9 litre inline six cylinder engine from Volvo S80 giving 300 bhp (224 kW) and a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).[1] The engine is located behind the driver.
Its design is inspired by
Hot Rod Magazine.[2] It was designed by Per Gyllenspetz from Labyrint Studio, and built by Leif Tufvesson. Many believe the shape and body to take inspiration from the Plymouth Prowler
, because, much like the Prowler, the T6 was designed to be a modern take on the classic hot rod.
