I’m in love with classic Volvo at the moment and this one is stunning. The Caresto Custom Volvo P1800 GT is a classic car brought up to date with modern safety features and hugely increased performance. Based upon an original volvo P1800 ES – Caresto developed the car to celebrate the models 50 year anniversary. Caresto was founded in 1996 and are a design and coach builder based in Sweden. During the years Caresto have had the opportunity to create and deliver many exciting cars and automotive creations to there clients.
Caresto will build you one of these P1800 GT’s to your spec with what ever interior and exterior colours you may require. I think these kind of cars are a great idea as they are restoring classic car design but using years of technology to bring the up to date and to preserve these beauties for another 50 years.
The GT has a great choice of engine up front with a Volvo V8 straight from an XC90 breathing new life into the classic along with a Volvo 960 transmission and a German built rear axle. With just over 315 Bhp the P1800 GT will be no slouch and it will sound amazing with that Volvo V8 bring the noise.
The P1800 ES is a fine looking vehicle and I’m guessing but was inspiration for the much later 90′s 480 series which again was a sweet looking car. They both have the unusual boot with the glass running right down to the bumpers. I don’t care what anyone says, Volvo have got a lot of style.
