What is a concept car? An odd or amusing vehicle which attracts a brief period of fame at a motor show. Or something more serious..?Concept cars have become an essential part of the activities of Volvo Car Corporation. Now part of a conscious strategy, the concept car is created for many different, albeit important reasons.
Stefan Jansson, a designer at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center, Camarillo, California, describes how the shape of the Volvo SCC was created, with the aid of computers. He was the responsible exterior designer for that project.
No other concept car in the history of Volvo Car Corporation has meant more for the company's technological advancement than the Volvo SCC (Safety Concept Car). Ten years after its 2001 world premiere in Detroit, the safety concept car can look back on a fantastic "career".
