Volvo 480 Cabrio, Volvo 480 Targa

[contdezactivat 613]

Inca cateva lucruri pe care poate nu le stiati despre Volvo 480 si prototipurile sale.

"Volvo also experimented with some prototypes:

    * 480 with an electric drivetrain

    * Supercharged version

    * 16-valve engine

    * Turbocharged 2lt"

*480 Cabrio

"In 1990 at the Geneva Motorshow,Volvo presented this design study to the world. When the first Cabrio was presented to the public, we believe it was no more than an undriveable model. The wheels were even made of wood! But that didn't matter, because Volvo merely wanted to show the world what wonderful things they could do with the 480!"

"These are prototypes made by a Belgian company ACT. Rumour has it that they are still driving around in Belgium somewhere. Wouldn't it be just awesome to have such a car for the sunny summers? At least these red and white Cabrios are known to exist, maybe there are even more!"

*480 Targa

"Just like Porsche did with the 911, Volvo decided they could make a Targa of the 480! Maybe it's not a Cabrio in it's purest form, but it's close enough! The prototype was nearly wrecked as Volvo wanted to clean up the basement where the Targa was secretely parked, but employees took control of the situation and kidnapped the Targa! She has been completely restored and will be displayed to the public on special occasions."

Vizionare placuta!

Este si un filmulet cu varianta Cabrio...

Se pare ca era gata de productie dar furnizorul de componente(caroserist-ul) a dat faliment.

O varianta mai putin cunoscuta: GT, cu interior pictat de catre un singur artist... fiecare masina iesind unica.

Imi amintesc cu amuzament, ca acum ceva ani s-a plans cineva pe forum ca scaunele de piele sunt pline de pete colorate si noi l-am indemnat sa foloseasca tot felul de solutii de curatare.

Cateva exemple in poze din ce am gasit pe net. Exista si o brosura pe care o voi incarca ulterior.

Ca tot s-a anuntat preluarea a 51% din actiunile Lotus de catre owner-ul Volvo, Geely, pe wikipedia am vazut ca Lotus s-a ocupat in trecut de suspensia si manevrabilitatea 480-ului.

Cum va arata viitorul ? Vor urma colaborari intre cele 2 marci aflate acum sub umbrella Geely ?

Ce spuneam...mai timid pt inceput cu Lotus "la primire" de data aceasta.
