Sweden’s ever-impressive Vizualtech based the basic styling features on the classic coupe with a twist…the front end is extended by 70mm to accommodate the proposed Volvo V8 engine from the XC90 and the S80. In its standard format the 4.4-litre V8 produces 315 horse power. The Vizualtech design goes on to illustrate something of a GT wagon with wider wheels arches, new front and rear lights, a rear diffuser and a flat underside.

With a front end of a S40 and the rear of an El Camino, this Volvo design theory may only be a 3D project right now, but who knows what is in store down the road. Vizualtech has worked on a variety of futuristic vehicle renderings in the past, and Volvo has had success (overseas, at least) with their larger truck market.

Mean looking air intakes and additional hood vents give the V70 quite a bit of attitude. The obvious change are the rear features: a pickup bed with a flush mounted tailgate, integrated rear exhaust pipes, and Volvo taillights.

Accoding to World Car Fans: As envisioned by Zolland, the rear-wheel drive V70 pickup would be powered by the Volvo XC90′s V8 engine that produces 311 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. Sounds good to us!
