Spotted today: The new Volvo S80

Centurion · 04-22-2006, 09:26 AM

During the last month I have seen the new S80 several times while driving to my gym. Today me and my friend decided to follow the car and try to snap some shots of it. The car we saw was sand beige and looked astonishingly good, and the V8 bagde and dual pipes didn't make matters worse either. Thanksfully I have received an invitation from Volvo to attend their S80 presentation here in Gothenburg which will take place in one or two weeks.

Here is the pictures I snapped with my cellphone:

So far I can't tell you much about it but I will load up lots of pictures when I two weeks when I will be able to get acquainted with it and maybe even get to drive it. Other than that only thing I can say right now is that it looks very good, the design is very sober and its very hard not to find it attractive. I found some more pictures of some test driving done here in Gothenburg.

The pictures don't do it justice, it is so much prettier in real life.

Not too bad at all... actually pretty eye catching!!! The pipes make a difference for sure!

I sat in the car in Geneva but like I said earlier, I like the new C70 Cabriolet better than S80.

lol, i just came back from my trip, and that was a good laugh. Actually Deutsch has an S60, too! And i don't like that colour. Actually, it looks horrible. But, i shouldn't say anything about the car, since i have not seen it IRL.

PS. That car must be great...
