RestoModding is a thing. I wish there was a way to cheaply replicate stuff like car chassis and body panels. 3D scanning and printing might come to the rescue at some point in the future.
I personally am generally not a fan of restomods. I love original classics And as an owner of a Volvo P1800ES should I hate this car, but it is just too cool and they went to such great lengths to make it authentic which makes this car into the only restomod I actually really like
I know I will probably get yelled at for this, but this is in my opinion the most beautiful car out there. The P1800 have always had a place in my heart and THIS... this work of art is almost to much to take in. I know what I will be saving for.
This has to be the coolest car you’ve ever reviewed, Max. I’ve always had a soft spot for the P1800 and this just gives me the fizz. Loved every minute of it.
Reminds me so much of my dad's 67 1800S. I won't be able to pull off the Cyan, but maybe I can restore the old '67. Thanks for posting. This took me back, although the old motor has way less HP it was still incredible to drive.
Seems like every time I watch this channel, I can’t help but notice that there’s something different that I don’t get with any other channel and I keep coming back here. I love the content you guys produce!
This is incredible, I absolutely love restomods.Keeping classics in original condition is very cool and respectful, but making a classic good enought to compete with modern sports cars is just amazing.
When he's on the Autobahn, you can literally see how much power the car has. At 210 it was still pulling without a sweat. This is the dream car for me personally
Growing up I've always had attraction for the" not so popular" cars with great lines,and,as I use to watch*The Saint* I always thought his car had cool lines,but,in my creative eye always imagine a subtle(as in keeping with the original looks,character),restomod,with new power,and,suspension,and,this is a perfect example. Well done.
Spot on with the analyse. This area is perhaps also something to look forward to. There are many nostalgic cars that could make an excellent starting point for a restomod. Who needs a 1500hp hypercar, when you can have something even better. The feeling of a real car.
I love this! It's so much better than having a vintage restored model,You get a fast reliable daily driver with amazing lines! And all the comfort and safety features to make it very reliable car. Compared to mant exotics,This is probably a bargain.
there is a family in my neighbourhood that owns a silver p1800 and a maserati GranTourismo. everytime i drive past their house and the volvo is outside i stop for a few seconds just to admire it
@@jonniemiec4633 cars from the 80s and earlier didn't have ABS nor Traction control. They were still driven in the rain... They were still waterproof... So the safety systems don't have anything to do with it. But yes, you can see the drainage at the fuel cap in the video.
Great lookin car as I always liked the P1800 from watching The Saint and the P1800 ES. But at speed, that driver's side windshield wiper that flutters in the wind when it rains just won't cut it like it did in the old days.
This is not a car for those new money supercar blondie type of people. This is a car for people like jay leno. Those who really understand and appreciate the mechanical side of the automobile
My grandad passed away a few months back. He had one of these in 1975 and crashed, splitting the car in 2 from just behind the seat. By not wearing seat belts, both him and my nan survived and was in the papers. He would of been amazed this video.
I would take this over a Singer 911 or similar restomod any day. The perfect blend of new and old, a true drivers car! The Swedes seriously know how to put together something special.
I saw it sometimes ago on Instagram by chance but I couldn't imagine there was such a project behind. I don't like old cars but old with modern touch I love.
Love this car, always thinking about doing a resto mod on one when i see the rustbuckets for sale cheap here in sweden but just dont have the time for it.
A man I worked with like 15 years ago spent year making an 1800 into mint condition. And once that was done he started with an old alfa, but cant remember which it was and was all in parts at that time. Loved that guy, most pedantic guy Ive ever met when it came to vehicles
this has to be my favorite restomod so far... really liked it too the moment i saw it a few days ago in another channel... but yeah, it's a car built by a race team, and we all know that when a part has "racing" in it that makes it cost like 10x more by itself 😅 add that to a full car restored and built by a race team and u get this... unfortunately we common folk will never have access to cars like these, the prices are truly prohibitive. 😞 very niche product for very wealthy people
“Unreal” and “just look at it”. This made me think about the pssst guy on UA-cam, Ed Bassmaster. Really cool car, next to the Arial Atom en the 1000 hp RS. This is the best video. The channel keeps improving. I salut you!
Amazing car! Great review as usual. Love your driving: Aggressive enough to get a sense of the performance of the car (looks fun too), yet careful, responsible, and respectful of normal roads/streets expected speeds and people walking/biking.
"achingly beautiful car". Couldn't agree more. Owning an 1800 has been a dream of mine all my life and less than a year ago did my dream come true and I'm now the proud owner of an achingly beautiful sports wagon, a 1973 Volvo P1800ES
I might sound crazy but I feel like the styling could hang with anything from the 60’s. Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, etc. the dimensions and lines are perfect
I had only heard of this Volvo, but I am absolutely in love with this beauty. You seem to give every car that you review its proper reverence, and for that you should be applauded. I fancy myself as a (sort of) watch collector, so I was wondering about the models which you wear while you are experiencing these fantastic cars? Keep up the great work!!!

I thought it was a toy car

I am head over heels in love with this car. My grandfather had an original P1800 and he would have loved this.
Such a gorgeous car, topped off with an impeccable attention to detail. Even the engine bay looks so clean with almost no wires in sight, love it..
That impeccable wiper flopping around :D
@@Berserkism haha that would be called character if it was an Alfa
I personally would need abs and traction control tho
Lmao
I love the turbo sound
Amazing! "Pstiuhhh"
I love that sounds more than the sound of Supercharge
the breaks sound and squeaky interior are even better
This has to be the coolest car you’ve ever reviewed, Max. I’ve always had a soft spot for the P1800 and this just gives me the fizz. Loved every minute of it.
This is one of the best 4cyl's I've heard.
13:53 christ the car, the road, the background...petrolhead’s dream
The fact that they took a classic car and modernised it from the inside and outside... such a beautifull car.
This car is an art. How they managed to keep the old look yet it looks so new and so fresh.
Reminds me so much of my dad's 67 1800S. I won't be able to pull off the Cyan, but maybe I can restore the old '67. Thanks for posting. This took me back, although the old motor has way less HP it was still incredible to drive.
I’m watchin how you drive this beauty and I smile like a kid.
Honestly, even the original car was fun to drive. Had one in the family for 30 odd years. I can only imagine how good the Cyan is 👍
Ok, disregard my last comment. That 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder is perfect for that chassis.
Seems like every time I watch this channel, I can’t help but notice that there’s something different that I don’t get with any other channel and I keep coming back here.

420hp In a car that's that light I bet it's so fun and it's a beautiful car. ❤️
im not into retro cars but this one does take my heart and its so beautiful and fast enough and such a clean rebuild i love it ,i want one
This car is pure madness and the roads you are driving it on are perfectly suiting for that beautiful car

Such a gorgeous looking car!! I have been waiting for your review about this!
Brakes: We're about to ruin this man's whole career.
Max my friend.....
You Sir, know how to drive!👍
It's a pleasure to watch! 🙋🏻♂️
I would like to see a Volvo 242 done in the same manner. Great job though
Very evident the Italian style in the design, in fact, Pelle Petterson was working and learning from Pietro Frua, head of the car firm Ghia, Turin.
Damn, that is one gorgeous car!
Edit: I can’t believe people gave this a dislike.
A few did that (11 right now of 10k views). Always gonna be someone with different opinion and its ok.

The sound of this thing is impressive
Pretty neat. An old car with modern parts ! It's an impressive work. Thank you for sharing this journey.
Love the mix of young mechanicals and classic styling. Excellent review, I love your videos, my most watched car review channel :)
What an incredible machine! Pure craftsmanship and excitement
id pay for this over Porsche
Those round eyes, bring tears of joy to my eyes.
I just love classic cars ! And manual also ! Omg I’m in love 😻
Love the way the wipers float, just as well it’s not raining.
The best volvo ever made, and when you merge new and old it becomes the next level car
absolute perfection and such a nice car

That engine bay is JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!😳💁🏻♂️🔥
ISNT IT!? , I mean that is pure simplicity right there, the manifold seems abit complex but still. A+
ikr... strangely enough I find that absolutely the best part in otherwise all-around beautiful car
What a beauty, and it will last forever and never gets old!
That restomod is fantastic! It’s a Singer version for the Volvo!

This is real car 😍
Tnx for showing this bro ..lot's of love from 🇮🇳 .
Does the trunk turn into a pool when it rains, seen that it has a big hole on the top? I haven't noticed any waterproofing gasket or similar...
sense its got no abs or traction, its not really made to drive in the rain but there is probably like a drain tube if water gets into them

I love how that left wiper is just bobbing around. looks like a slick car

The gear changing sounds like a lightsable fight between two jedis.
Gear is Holinger and block different by Wavetrac and break by AP racing and first gear is so strong up sec gear double flow up others is flat relaxed.

One of the coolest things man , and those wheels are insane!!!!!!
perfect car,perfect timing of the day,perfect colour.Its PERFECT.
If i was a multi millionaire i'd have them make me a p1800 like this. An Amazon and a PV.
This thing looks incredible.
I've seen this car everywhere on UA-cam lately, but I didn't expect it to appear on this channel ! Great review !
They even got the squealing "volvo-breaks" right.😂 Amazing! 🤩
Yep, 240 squealing memories

Sorry for new ridiculous 180km/h vehicule 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️.
"just look at it" perfectly explains the lack of words to describe the beauty in the Volvo p1800. but I might be a bit biased since I own an 1800ES

Always loved the P1800! So great to see this getting the love.
500.000$ DAMN!
Take my money! 💵💵
So expensive but gorgeous
awesome car. I can see why they said keep it under 200kph, those original wipers looked like they were going to pop off at the end

Piece of art from Volvo. Absolutely beautiful.

This is the car we never knew we’d want. Just in love with how it looks (except for the price)

This is the most beautiful care my eyes have ever seen, i never wanted a to have a car like i want this now, i hope i will be able to buy one one day
