VOLVO are more important to Sweden than even Abba
Sweden with no Volvo is unthinkable for the majority of Swedes, not least because the car firm are one of the biggest employers in the country.
But Volvo have been put up for sale by owners Ford after running up huge losses and, in the present economic climate, there is a serious question mark over the firm’s future.
Which is why the car pictured here is the most important car in Volvo’s history and arguably their biggest asset as Ford negotiate with potential buyers.
One look at the stunning Volvo S60 concept is the best reason to convince potential buyers that the Swedish firm have a real future because this, with one or two adjustments, is the next S60.
It’s a car that proves Volvos can be objects of desire as well as being safe, practical and reliable.
The S60 made me think of Scandinavian blondes with curves in all the right places — it’s one of those cars that make you want to run your hand over the paintwork because it looks so good.
Most importantly, it is a car you want to drive as soon as you see it, which is exactly what I did when I became the first journalist to get behind the wheel at a secret test track in Gothenberg. Even the bronze paintwork sparkled like gold in the bright Swedish sunshine.
This is a car Volvo believe can challenge German premium brands BMW and Audi and visually it makes the 3 Series and Audi A4 look conservative.
Alex Chan, the 28-year-old exterior designer of the S60, is from Watford and trained in the UK. He says he wanted the car to have “instant impact” and to “grab attention”. Alex, you have succeeded admirably.
He also wanted the S60 to have an understated Scandinavian luxury. He says: “The car is for people who are successful but don’t want to shout about it. It’s a car with road presence, self-confident. Hopefully, people will see it and say ‘Wow it’s a Volvo’.”
The S60 has a glamour that is heightened by the unique entry via parallelogram rear doors that open outwards and swing backwards — sadly they will be replaced by traditional doors in the production model, simply because of the expense.
As you ease into the sumptuous leather seats, you are immediately aware of how light it is inside, courtesy of a full-length panoramic glass roof that sweeps back from the windscreen.
Interior designer Lars Falk, aged 34, said his No1 goal was for the car to make a big step up in interior quality. He says: “A Volvo has never been this luxurious before. This is a premium car in craftsmanship terms.”
Lars says he wanted the interior to have a simple elegance with a natural Scandinavian feel, which is why he used traditional birch wood trim in the cabin.
There are lots of clever innovations, such as the gear lever selector that lies flat on the centre console for more relaxing city driving, but flicks upright for more sporty driving.
And Lars has added another classy twist to Volvo’s revolutionary floating centre instrument console — in the concept car it is finished in hand-crafted crystal.
Sadly, it won’t make it into the production car but Volvo are considering using crystal trim in the future.
As the S60 is a one-off hand-built concept car, I had to restrict my driving to being Mr Sensible, which is the exact opposite to what I wanted to do, but for a concept model it handled remarkably well.
And Volvo promise the production version will handle as well as it looks and get an engine line-up that will deliver the performance to match.
This will include a new hi-tech 1.6litre turbo diesel engine that will slash C02 to 119g/km and deliver 50mpg-plus.
Being a Volvo, it will have state-of-the-art safety equipment, including a collision-warning computer system that will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a crash.
With models like the original S60, the chic C30 hatchback and the recent XC60 SUV, Volvo have been promising something special. In the S60 concept they have delivered.
When it hits showrooms next year, it could be the breakthrough car that puts Volvo on the path to a new and glittering future.

Çok iyi bulmuşsun hesheit kardeşim.. Ama malesef hoşuma gitmedi benim, konsept gerçekten çok hoşuma gidiyor fakat umarım seri üretim bu fotoğrafdaki gibi olmaz.. Bir defa o farlar nedir öyle, resmen şu makyajlana C30'daki gibi birşey.. Koskoca S60 bu insan biraz heybetli birşeyler yapar bence.. Belkide fotoğrafdandır ama nedense S60'dan ziyade olsa olsa S40 olur bu bence.. S60 heybeti yok malesef :( Neyse bakalım hepberaber göreceğiz ne çıkıcak ortaya seri üretimde..

Recently, sharp-eyed citizens in Copenhagen have had the opportunity to get a sneak preview of the upcoming, sporty Volvo S60 - which won't be introduced to the world until next year.
A disguised prototype of the new sedan model has been rolling through the streets of the Danish capital in order to test a groundbreaking new safety technology that can detect a pedestrian in front of the car and brake automatically if the driver doesn't react in time, to avoid an accident.
The new technology - Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection - will be introduced together with the all-new Volvo S60 in 2010. Volvo Cars' safety experts have been working with Pedestrian Detection technology for ten years and test cars have been rolling all over the world - most recently in the busy streets of Copenhagen.
"Factors like traffic behaviour, road conditions and climate must be taken into account in the design of the final system. All told we have collected more than 500,000 kilometres of real-life data. We can also use the information from these traffic tests to conduct advanced computer simulations," says Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor at Volvo Cars.
The next step - protecting the unprotected
The new safety functions in Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection represent the next stage in Volvo Cars' continuous development of technology to detect risky situations and help the driver mitigate or avoid accidents by providing support in the decision-making process.
"The previous stages were developed to help the driver avoid collisions with other vehicles.
Now we are taking a giant step forward with a function that also boosts safety for unprotected road-users. What is more, we are advancing from fifty percent to full automatic braking power. To the best of our knowledge, none of our competitors have made such progress in this area," explains Thomas Broberg. He adds:
"This technology helps us take an important step towards our long-term vision of designing cars that do not crash. Our aim for 2020 is that no-one should be killed or seriously injured in a Volvo."
First a warning, then automatic braking
Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian Safety consists of a new dual-mode radar unit integrated into the car's grille, a camera behind the inside rear-view mirror and a central control unit. The radar and camera continuously monitor the road in front of the car. The radar's task is to detect objects and measure the distance to them. The camera determines what type of objects they are.
In an emergency situation, the driver is first alerted by an audible warning together with a flashing light in the windscreen's head-up display. In order to prompt an immediate, intuitive reaction, the visual warning is designed to look like a brake light coming on. If the driver does not respond to the warning and the system assesses that a collision is imminent, the car's brakes are applied with full braking power.
"Active brake deployment requires that the object is confirmed by both the radar and the camera. Thanks to state-of-the-art sensor technology, it is now possible to engage full braking power," explains Thomas Broberg.
Accidents with pedestrians common in urban traffic
In the EU countries' capital cities, 1,560 people died in road accidents in 2007. Of these, 43 percent were pedestrians. The speed of the car is of considerable significance to the outcome of an accident and the risk of a pedestrian being killed in an accident at 50 kilometres per hour is 85 percent higher compared to if the speed is 25 kilometres per hour.
"Our aim is that this new technology should help the driver avoid collisions with pedestrians at speeds below 25 km/h. If the car is travelling faster, the aim is to reduce the impact speed as much as possible. In most cases, we can reduce the collision force by about 75 percent. Considering the large number of pedestrian fatalities that occur, if we manage to lower the fatality risk by 20 percent this new function will make a big difference. In specific situations the fatality reduction can be up to 85 percent," says Thomas Broberg.
Turkish artist Esref Armagan is renowned throughout the world for his unique feel for perspective and shape. He was the very first non-employee to be invited to Volvo Cars in Sweden to see and paint the still-secret new Volvo S60. Although the car will not be launched until 2010, Volvo is already revealing his interpretation on Facebook.
But there is an exciting twist to the story: Esref Armagan is blind.
How can one generate interest in a product that has not yet been launched? That was the challenge given to Lukas Dohle, director of Live Communication and Social Media, and his team at Volvo Cars in Göteborg, Sweden.
The team came up with the idea of inviting renowned Turkish artist Esref Armagan to Sweden and to let him experience the new Volvo S60 and paint a picture of it. The film documenting the S60 blind preview is available on Volvo Car's own website on Facebook, the address iswww.facebook.com/volvo. It is also available on YouTube.
"Since the car itself is not being launched until the Geneva Motor Show next year, this is a unique way for us to show an extraordinary artist's rendition of the forthcoming model," says Lukas Dohle.
Esref Armagan uses his hands and the rest of his senses to identify the shape of the object he is painting. He has participated in a number of scientific research projects. For instance, TV channel Discovery produced a fascinating documentary in which Professor John Kennedy of Toronto University demonstrates Esref's ability to capture the right perspective. It defies everything that science previously believed about blind people and their perceptive abilities. Esref Armagan has painted everything from historic buildings, seascapes, flowers and forests to a portrait of former US President Bill Clinton.
This, however, is the very first time he is putting a car on canvas!
"It was an honour for me to be asked to do this and I take it as a confirmation of my ability as an artist," says Esref Armagan.
At the Volvo Cars design studio in Göteborg, Sweden, Esref Armagan met design director Peter Horbury. It was a fruitful meeting in which Peter Horbury showed the artist the jealously guarded secret. "I'm proud of the new Volvo S60. It has a much more dynamic and sculpted form than any previous Volvo - it's a very emotive form. That's why this feels like such an exciting project - introducing our forthcoming model to someone as unusual as a blind artist," says Peter Horbury.
On October 19, the first trailer was made available to 400 blogs globally, offering tantalizing glimpses of the car. It is possible to see and discuss the video on Volvo Car's own website on Facebook. Car enthusiasts could also ask Esref Armagan to draw specific details of the car.
Tolday on October 26, the entire film is available on Facebook. That is the first time the blind artist's interpretation of the new Volvo S60 has been made public. "It's an amazing experience to work together with Esref Armagan, because he truly embraces life and lives it to the full despite his handicap. It's an approach that exactly matches how we at Volvo embrace life," says Lukas Dohle.
