Volvo has released a first preview image of the external forms of S60 Concept, the car anticipates that forms the next S60 series, expected during 2010. It is not, however, the first image ever of the prototype already know, the suggestive photos of the glass bridge, built in collaboration with the Swedish Orators, who plays in a modern and decidedly … Nordic the central theme of the tunnel “suspended”, characteristic of the latest Volvo interior. From “teaser” of the S60 Concept, appears quite clearly what is the address wanted by the head of Volvo design, Steve Matting, started with the concept XC60: abandon a solid and functional language for most moves and expressive, capable of attract attention.

If the XC60 dynamism is expressed on large volumes and proportions, here we are faced with a sedan Flange, almost a sedan-coupe, which makes it all the more fluid silhouette “fastback” of the S60. Note the way in which individual elements are connected seamless continuity and the presence of two main reasons to “wave”, beginning with the line that defines the side, rounded at the fenders as the latest Audi, but in contrast with the line decided behind the windows. According to Steve Matting, these forms resemble winding Swedish coast, “suggestive union of drama and sensuality.” The front offers the new “shield” Keystone Volvo in advanced position and rounded shapes, while the lights on the sides are more subtle and well-connected to the front fenders and shield.
