Рет қаралды 499,354
3 жыл бұрынThe Volvo P1800 is one of our favourite classic cars and Cyan Racing has taken it and built this gorgeous restomod. Henry Catchpole took it out for a spin to see if it drives as good as it looks.

I think most car companies got carried away with 0-60 times and forgot the recipe of what makes a fun car. I’d have this car over modern supercars. I love it. Also great video carfection 👍
@Torsee 3 жыл бұрын
I agree totally! Besides 0-60 is meaningless. 40-80 is useable info. I live in Maine, retirement community for the old! Redundant Boomers who forgot how to drive! 40 in a 55 zone is all to common!

@jaaphoogendijk671 3 жыл бұрын
@@bigneutron77 I think you interpret Jaqen's comment wrongly. Never did he say that cars with a fast 0-60 time are not a blast to drive. Jaqen is saying that companies should focus on making cars a blast to drive, and if a fast 0-60 is also possible within that fun driving recipe, sure go ahead. Just like your own car (which car is it by the way, I'm curious :), both a fast 0-60 and fun driving can be achieved simultaneously! But fast 0-60 times should not be a company's main focus.

@@jaaphoogendijk671 Supra and ss. They both get to 60 quick, and both are a blast to drive on the track, or curvy road. Both give you a different type of thrill, or pleasure while doing so. With that being said, neither would be fun to drive, if they didn’t get to 60 in the manner they do.

I've known about this car before and I loved it instantly, but one thing I haven't noticed before is that yellow strip - and it's amazing on sooo many levels. The exact shade of yellow just being very nice and composing beautifully with the cyan blue, that same shade of yellow being on the 850 R and both colours being a reference to the Swedish flag. Perfect.
