Volvo Concept Coupé – der P1800 einer neuen Generation

Erinnerungen an eine Sportcoupé-Ikone

Weltpremiere feiert das ausdrucksstarke Volvo Concept Coupé auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt (Deutschland) im September 2013.

In der Studie spiegeln sich auch Elemente des Sportcoupé-Klassikers Volvo P1800 aus den 1960er Jahren wider. „Es ist die Pflicht eines Fahrzeugdesigners, Designcharakteristika zu reflektieren und zu integrieren, die untrennbar mit der Geschichte des Unternehmens verwoben sind. Der Volvo P1800 ist eine Ikone, die für ihre betörende Form und liebevolle Verarbeitung bekannt ist. Basierend auf seiner glorreichen Vergangenheit schaffen wir eine Zukunft, in der sich pure Schönheit zu einem Teil der Volvo Identität entwickelt. Diese Reise beginnt mit diesem Concept Coupé“, so Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design bei Volvo.

50 années Volvo P1800

Dieser Geburtstag wurde in Essen auf der Techno Classica vom 30. März bis 3. April 2011 gefeiert. Volvo Cars Heritage präsentierte auf einem grosszügig gestalteten und perfekt ausgeleuchtetem Stand diese berühmten Modelle:

P958-X1, der erste Prototyp -1957 bei Carrozzeria Pietro Frua in Turin handgefertigt
P1800 1961 - eines der ersten bei Jensen Motors Ltd produzierten Modelle
P1800S 1963 - eine Ralley-Version
1800S 1966 - ein Cabriolet von Volvoville
1800E 1971 - mit der Bosch D-Jetronic
19800ES 1971 - die gläserne Heckklappe

Wie schon 2010 in Frankreich waren Pelle Petterson und Irv Gordon auch bei dieser Präsentation dabei. Gastgeber war Claes Rydholm, der Leiter von Volvo Cars Heritage.

VOLVO P1800 1961

Model produced from the start in 1961 to February 1963

VOLVO P1800S

VOLVO P1800S 1963

Model produced from February 1963 until July 1963.

VOLVO 1800S

Model produced from July 1963 until November 1969.

This is either the most expensive economy car in the world, or the least expensive Gran Turismo car in the world.

VOLVO 1800E

Model produced from November 1969 until June 1972.

It goes faster without the carburetors.

The Volvo 1800E now has fuel injection. Which not only makes it go faster, but think.

The system is electronically controlled by a little computer unit that evaluates information on air temperature, altitude, engine speed, load and temperature. Then it "orders" he perfect fuel mixture for the conditions. So the engine always runs smoothly. And doesn't require a tune-up every time the weather changes.

It used to be you'd buy a Volvo 1800 because you wanted a sports car with brawn.

Now when you buy one, you also get a brain.

VOLVO 1800ES

Model produced from August 1971 until June 1973.

The 1800ES had a newly designed rear end compared with the previous versions of the 1800. The roofline had been extended and the car had a profile that was more reminiscent of an estate. The 1800ES had increased luggage capacity to provide extra space for golfing or hunting equipment, for example.
