Let’s just say that this concept car designed by a Volvo intern is possibly more exciting than any Volvo model you’ve seen in the past.  Thanks to Nouphone J. Bansasine, Volvo may have a premium sports car to compete in that class by the year 2015.

Bansasine designed this four door coupe during his time at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center.  This is the same place where the used xc90 Chicago, S80 and S60 came to life.  Great work has truly come out of these walls!

Volvo hasn’t announced whether or not this concept will actually make it to your Chicago c70 dealership.  Bansasine truly made this premium sports coupe stand out.  There is a “sculptured” look throughout the car’s exterior.  For instance, the long hood, pronounced LED headlights, and a large grille are definitely head turners. A few other features that give it a sports car flare are the large wheels, tail lights that have a boomerang shape, and flared front fenders.

One of the biggest questions you probably have is “What type of engine will the concept come with if it goes into production?”  There is no set answer at this time.  Since it’s designed to be in a premium sports car arena, some reports have stated the powertrain might be similar to a Porsche Panamera.   It will likely have an all wheel drive system also found in other Volvo autos, such as the Chicago c70.

I am still blown away by the attractive design of the 2015 Bansasine concept model.  It’s features are unlike any Volvo I’ve test driven, including a recent used xc90 Chicago.  I certainly hope Volvo decides to bring this exciting sports coupe to reality!
