Technically sanctioned by Volvo, the S90 was thought up by Nouphone J. Bansasine while studying at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center.
With a more aggressive nose and its fastback roof line, the slippery 4-door coupe would be a very welcome successor to the oh-so-bland S80. Something like the S90 could help Volvo reinvent itself as truly stylish, mid-range luxury in order to tackle the world.
With the new S60 sedan already poised to fight the 3-Series, a car providing CLS looks at an E-Class price is definitely going to be necessary for Volvo to keep its momentum going.
Since this is just a design study, there's nothing official about the power train. Even so, it wouldn't be a stretch to picture this with a hybrid setup for people who bleed green and a higher-output T6 and all-wheel-drive for those who still bleed red.
If this is a hint at where Volvo is going, it might be in good hands.

Nothing close to this concept will ever make production. But I fucking hope I'm wrong!
Extremely Impressive!
When it comes out, see to it that the rear windows are not that small.
i saw this concept a long time before. this news has come a bit too late.
ugly car.
It looks fantastic. A design like this will definitely change the people look at Volvo cars.
everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but i think calling this particular car "ugly" demonstrates bad taste. sorry, but it screams beauty.
I'll have teal blue with T6 AWD, black rims, privacy glass all round.
please.
Kind of looks like the Infiniti Essence
I saw hints of Aston Martin's design language throughout the SC90 SSC... Nevertheless, it was beautiful... (I think I've heard Volvo execs screaming for a design revolution!)
it doesn't look like a volvo.
And the designer has no sketching skills.
This is over a year old...
Agree with the previous poster on it not looking like a Volvo. Looks nice enough but this could be a Honda, Kia, BMW or any number of other nameplates. It hasn't got anything distinctively Volvo about it.

.you mean not VW boring.
put a BMW badge on it the new 6 it would sell like a hot bun
Give this new designer a raised!! Let him continued on this project to make it reality Volvo! With the new/old design director I hope he see this is a future for Volvo designs. If not get him out of there and bring someone who will appreciate this design!! Damn I want one!!!
