I would rock it. One step closer to a modern day P1800.

While Volvo's C30 has wily charms in its stock configuration, we could see how it'd be even more entertaining with the power being sent to the proper wheels. While we're talking revisions, a honkingly large turbocharger and external-reservoir dampers would be welcome additions, too. The race-ready ride height is dead sexy, and while it's a crazy thing to do to a perfectly good brand new Volvo, Sweden's Skruffse has carried out some beautiful fabrication work. The use is obviously racing of some sort, and with wide tires at all four corners we're surmising that it's something that involves turning, versus drag racing. Seeing this car's tow rig - a first-generation V70, it all comes together -- those willing to strip the C30 down like a stolen Pinto and rejigger the chassis are true Volvo nuts. We're pretty sure the warranty has been voided, though.

That's my new favorite Volvo. That thing looks fantastic.
 
FWD Volvos are often made RWD in Sweden, especially the old S40.. Nice car though..
 
The stock one is WAY better than this thing. It's definitely faster, with both a complete engine that runs and a drive to the wheels :lol:

You don't need an engine when yo' GOT teh TURBO BOOST yo!
 
Sweet :grin: I'd like to see how this thing performs!
 
You'll find no argument here, unless it's sporting some anti-lag.
 
I think the C30 is hideous.
 
I would sell my kidney for one.
 
Awesome, that T5 engine with a bigger turbo and RWD would be bliss!
 
Meh, not a big fan of the C30. I don't like it's lines.

Although if the thing is mid-engined, then I could overlook it. :D
 
I quite like the C30. Seen a couple around, and got a close look at one today at the motorshow. Very nice.

Now this, this is ball tearing awesome.
