Just found this in my inbox. According to Volvo it is still a concept and that it will be revealed at the Göthenborg Carshow. The car will be powered by their 2.5 liter five cylinder engine with a bigger turbo and intercooler. The exterior has been painted in babyblue that contrasts nicely with the black BBS wheels. Will Volvo put this car into production? well we can always pray.

AH I CANT STOP ITCHING! What is this shit, PCP?!
I've always loved Volvos...this thing is awesome! Those flares are nice, somethin different.
It's 4WD too right? Could be a proper monster of a car!
Someone had to say it, Its spelled Göteborg in swedish =)
Always nice to see a good paint job.
So it's basically a Focus RS that will be insurable like a Volvo. Double win.
AWD, please!
I need to see the rear!!!
PCP? seriously? of ALL the names to go with... and they decide on PCP. hahahaha
this has the potential to kill the sti..... imo
is it the same 2.5 5 cilinder turbo as in the XC70? Damn thats gonna fly!( i mean, it weighs atleast 500kg less...)
Wouldn't expect to see that Volvo sign in the middle of the grille.

IS that not a little dark, for a baby blue ? .What is the name of it/code ?
looks like they copied some other brands looks for their own design, love the color scheme though. volvo finally woke under its new management
ABflug sure is involved designing the flare. Man thats hot.
Ok.... I take that back... fearless with those specs it would DESTROY an sti.....
Nice, but why 5 cyl.?
Not a big Volvo guy, but do like.
i don't know which car i like more, this or the focus rs... amazingful
the front nose, i kinda see the new accord coupe, which isnt bad. well done i think
hahaha it comes with a bottle of moet! thats a racist a$$ turbocharger tho
lol i'm with Jay Dub, i saw the name and was like "YES! Finally a car named after a popular hallucinogenic drug!"

it looks the part.. if we can trust the spec posted by 'fearless' then it should at least worth having - just imagine a modified version - i like it though.. what are those alloys??
This Volvo easily has the looks of a Focus RS or a VXR. Doubtless better build quality, so for me it's the pick of the bunch.
ME WANT!!!!
lol what's next? the VW Methwagon....Ford Qualude....Toyota Ecstasy?
Do like.
talked wth a volvo dealer about this car. its a one off and is highly unlikey to even see production in europe. pcp stands for polestar concept preformance.
umm noobie question... how does an odd number of cyl work in the 4 stroke process?
5 cylinders run on gremlins, so the 4-stroke process isn't an issue.
