FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW: Volvo teases coupe concept

First teaser video sets the scene for the reveal of a new coupe concept from Volvo this week

Volvo has published a YouTube video heralding the reveal of an all-new coupe concept later this week, ahead of its world debut at the Frankfurt motor show on September 10.

The teaser video, which shows only a glimpse of the concept, is captioned: “An imminent transformation is underway. Did someone say Frankfurt? Stay tuned.”

In it, Volvo Group head of design Thomas Ingenlath suggests previous Volvo designs have been perceived as “vanilla”, and is quoted as saying: “The vanilla days are over”.

No further details are available, but close inspection of the video reveals a two-door coupe with a sleek roofline, aggressive front-end design and a rear-end featuring distinctive C-shaped tail-lights and a badge that says Volvo Concept C Coupe.

At the same time, an image of an unnamed, half-obscured vehicle – which appears similar to the coupe in the video – has been circulating the internet, which could provide the best look yet at the mould-breaking show car the Swedish brand will reveal on August 29.
