[Zhenya777Krik]

SUPER! I love unusual cars))

[parkourdude585]

No roof no doors. uhm.. So. No driving in the rain?

[ColeFried81]

What's the song used in this video? Does anyone know? PLEASE it's beautiful!

[questarr]

@ColeFried81 Original music scored by Lee Miles.

[ColeFried81]

@questarr I beg to differ. I found a Lee Miles and he plays acoustic. The music in this video is atmospheric. This cannot be Lee Miles unless this was a side project of his.

[questarr]

@ColeFried81 It is a fact that Lee Miles did the score for the video. I directed this project, Lee Miles is my right hand man when it comes to music, he is very talented person in the music field, he produces bands of all types, and is a front man in the band "Oh My Stars". You will see the credits below the Volvo logo, @3:57. Cheers -Quinn Starr

[ColeFried81]

@questarr Well that's just GREAT. That just means there's no chance in hell to ever get any of this music on my ipod, paid for or not. Preposterous!

[maikeru01]

sucks if only 3 people go for a drive. one has to face backwards alone.

[ursula22ify]

wow! this looks so slim, light, and super cool!! car of the future!

[Commentator3]

3:13: "Look at it... its... Shit.." XD

[CeKoBeaTs]

on 2:50 looks like buggati.. imagine that is buggati ??

[wivese86]

Crash safety? I'm tired of concepts that aren't really feasible for everyday. If you're not going to make it production in the near future keep it to yourselves. Useless.

[Ninja5810]

WELL THATS GOOD FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER SCENARIOS LOL

[fizzguts]

I loath brain dead designers like this. Not an engineer in sight to deliver a reality kick from a steel capped boot up their arse.

Fact Bearings in the rims mean any curb impact seizes the wheel.

Fact Air motors & compressors lose energy to heat so this POC will use 5 x more energy than an electric car of the same performance

This carbon fiber ashtray will have a 10 mile range with miserable performance. Idiots

[psychonaut25]

I want this in Forza 4 !!!

[dewert2]

wth thats just a lame ass modified dune buggy that seats 4 clowns

[MrZarkop]

yo if i get bored waiting it to come out IL build it my self this idea is awesome

[Tobi1087Tobi]

Nice - Love Minimalism !!!

[ChompGAR]

Sorry for the triple posting, but I just have to ask you something. Ever heard of a CONCEPT car?! It's a concept! 1. They will make cheaper and not so extreme-looking cars based on the concept car! 2. They might not manufacture any cars around this concept at all!

[ChompGAR]

What the deuce? There's a ton of comments down there and I just read them all. I did expect at least over 10 intelligent commenters, but to my disappointment, I only found like 4? What's wrong with you guys? Why do you even bother?!

[Farekim]

@soTendertime duuh it runs on air?

[Nilsedvinson]

Volvo.. how cute.

[TheHurime]

"3 friends... blablabla. Imagine... and looked amazing. What would that look like?"

You just said that it looked amazing! >:(

[eXtacycode]

WHERE IS THE BLING?!

[ImDino]

synd att volvo har blivit kurd-bil... utan sitt land

[22912129113]

@ImDino suck* idioter som dig borde inte få yttra sig.

[ImDino]

@22912129113 suck dick

[crippe1000]

@ImDino Då ser du nog deras billigare och äldre bilar, som säljs mest i Sverige. Annars så har dem hög-klass bilar också u know...

[AsgardProductionsSE]

@ImDino

definiera en kurd-bil för mig, är det en bil som en kurd kan äga eller en bil som många kurder äger? Volvo fanns aldrig för Sverige, Volvo är ett företag vars mål är att sälja och de ger nog blanka fan i var kunden kommer ifrån.

Sluta med dina idiotiska uttalande tack!

[franses]

just wondering how the car will reverse

[MsFormula1Fan]

@xBuzz996 Ford ägde Volvo förut, men nu äger Geely det. Volvo kom ifrån Sverige ibörjan.. så det e nog du som e helt efter ;)

[CU2UK]

@robintf You will never see a car like that on the road. Its almost a toy project

[bloodaid]

@CU2UK thats what they said about the airplane too

[CU2UK]

@bloodaid No the car is already invented you moron. Who wants to drive in a car that looks like it comes from starwars?

[bloodaid]

@CU2UK Do you want to drive a car that looks like it comes from starwars? Im guessing: No. Do you want to drive a car that looks like it comes from 1905? I dont know, if No then OK, and if Yes then the following answer applies to you: Something that you dont want to drive does not necessarely mean that nobody wants to drive it. In 200 years, if somebody were to see you with your ford fiesta for example, somebody would think "hahaha what a lame car, who would want to drive that?"

[raggaresset]

And what will happen when it rains? In sweden where volvo is assembled it fucking rains 340 days each year.

[YYeezzppeerr]

@raggaresset what no?

We don't have so much rain lol? In the summer it is sun and in the winter it is cold as hell :S

[TheShootHappy]

@YYeezzppeerr WRONG, in the summer its sun for 10 days or something then it starts to rain and never stop...

[OnkelMickwald]

@YYeezzppeerr In southern Sweden it rains. Alot.

[miekkapure5]

@YYeezzppeerr in the winter it isn't THAT cold. average temperature is probably like -10 C. but that's obviously to cold for a car without a roof :P

[raggaresset]

@YYeezzppeerr

Dude, I live in Sweden. I know how the fucking weather is... Fuckin raining all the time.

[TheBaxxor]

@raggaresset

Yeah, or maybe like 50 :)

[raggaresset]

@TheBaxxor 50 days in a period of 2 months. yea true that. Not in a whole fucking year. her you live? in fucking norrland where the rain has became fucking ice and froze in the fucking cloud on it's way down.

[TheBaxxor]

@raggaresset

Chill man, I live in Stockholm. And no, it doesn't rain that much so give it a break.

[raggaresset]

@TheBaxxor

I fucking live in Småland. And guess what, we usually have rain periods of fucking 10 days.

[gladizh]

Imagine these.. Not being over expensive. A normal family would easily afford one. That would help the would alot.

[CU2UK]

Bullcrap. No car will ever look like that.

[Farekim]

@soTendertime Eh, oils?

[azazsis]

what an amizing idea, would really buy one if i had the money :D

[omfgimback]

@azazsis everything would be bought if people had the money.

[baryon15]

omg no windshield, i'll get flies in my eyes all the time, and if there's a cable in the middle of the road ill get my head chopped off! for ze love of gods, add somes windshields, okay.

[TheShootHappy]

@baryon15 i you wouldnt be able to see crap becuse of the wind...

[MrHTaurus]

Kommer dom att klara av detta kommer den ändå vara för dyr för vanliga folket, men den ser grymt häftig ut!

[ChompGAR]

@alfiqar You stupid ass. First off, Ford does NOT own Volvo. Volvo is owned by the chinese car manufacturer Geely. General Motors does NOT own Saab. Saab was sold to the Dutch luxury sports car manufacturer Spyker.

Electric cars aren't really functionable for every day use. The Tesla is an all-electric car and sure, it feels awesome to drive. But it takes too long to charge and you can't drive long enough on one charge. So NGV cars like the Honda Civic GX and air cars is for now the best alt.

[XxZ95xX]

@ChompGAR Word up =)

[xBuzz996]

@alfiqar HAHA, vart fan fick du att ford äger volvo ifrån?? ford är ju ett amerikanst bilbolag, och volvo svenskt... är du helt efter eller?

[Kaktusmannen123]

@xBuzz996 volvo är inte svenskt

[xBuzz996]

@Kaktusmannen123 nene, va är det då?

[anemozen]

@xBuzz996 Volvo var ju svenskt från början. Alltså Volvo är ju Svenskt. Men de är inte Sverige som äger Volvo. 1999: Volvokoncernen säljer av personbilstillverkningen till Ford Motor Company. varefter Volvo Personvagnar såldes till kinesiska Zhejiang Geely Holding Group

[bobrobertsz]

@xBuzz996 Det är visserligen inte Ford som äger Volvo längre, men Volvo är lika svenskt idag som pyramider. Eller mingvaser.

[TheShootHappy]

@xBuzz996 volvo var svenskt.

[123PETH]

@TheShootHappy Nä, inte längre. Det är nytt kinesiskt företag som har köpt upp det, tyvärr.

[TheShootHappy]

@123PETH notera att jag sa VAR inte ÄR =P

[Dasmaster1]

looks really interesting.

[565432256543222]
