The new Volvo Concept Coupé features a two-liter Drive-E gasoline engine with a supercharger and turbo, and the petrol engine is teamed with an electric motor on the rear axle that gives the car a total output of around 298KW, the company said.
Volvo noted that the design of the new car demonstrates the next generation of Volvo models, starting with the upcoming XC90 in 2014.
Commenting on the launch, Volvo Design senior vice president Thomas Ingenlath said that the Volvo Concept Coupé is no futuristic dream car and is designed to demonstrate the capability of the company’s new architecture: the confident stance, the proportions and the most prominent design signatures.
"Even though the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognize the connection instantly when it is revealed next year," added Ingenlath.
