Cool, highly cool drive in P1800 restomod by Cyan

This is the new Volvo P1800 Cyan - a carbon bodied restomod using a 420hp touring car engine connected to a five speed manual gearbox with race car suspension and brakes! The P1800 Cyan weighs just 990kg and has no ABS or traction control for that old-school pure driving experience! Here is an in depth review and first road test drive by Mr JWW.

Cyan Racing and the Volvo P1800 Cyan, an interpretation of the iconic Volvo. 

There is only one word used to describe how you feel when you drive it : you feel cool, highly cool!

420 hp for 990kg says it all...
