Volvo's Hotrod Concept

When you think “hotrod,” your mind naturally wanders to the wilds of Sweden. That’s where Volvo cooked up this amazingly authentic hotrod concept for SEMA. The Caresto V8 Speedster is pure California-custom, even though the V-8 engine is a Volvo unit that runs on ethanol and the designer’s name is Leif Tufvesson.

Leif is a custom-car builder who went to town for Volvo on the Speedster. We don’t see why this aluminum and carbon composite baby couldn’t be made for production, other than the projected $300,000+ price tag. We’ll just thank Leif for letting us soak in his beautiful work. Click below for more images.
