Cyan Racing has just unveiled the latest Volvo P1800 Cyan, its wild US$ 700,000 recreation of the classic Swedish sports car and this one is a little bit special. This P1800 is finished in a beautiful shade of metallic green and is a new GT version of the car that’s slightly more comfortable and road-focused than the original unveiled a few years ago. The company says that one of the biggest changes comes with the suspension. While the GT model still has fully-adjustable suspension, it has been tuned for “winding country roads” and long distance driving. In addition, Cyan Racing has fettled with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to improve driveability.
The green car is one of the first GT
versions of the P1800 and is heading to a client in the U.S. Contrasting the
metallic green paint is a chrome front grille and chrome accents on the front
bumper and around the headlights. The chrome continues onto the wing mirrors,
door handles, window surrounds, and the rear fascia. Beautifully complimenting
the green paint are a set of stunning gold-painted wheels sitting over brake
calipers with a bronze finish.
Found inside the cabin is sand-colored
leather and fabrics, a three-spoke Momo Prototipo steering wheel, and a
titanium roll cage wrapped in plush leather.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
of the P1800 Cyan is based on the unit found in the Volvo S60 TC1 race car and
in flagship guise, pumps out 413 hp and 455 Nm. Cyan allows buyers
to choose how much power they want, starting from 350 hp. All examples are
rear-wheel drive and use a dog-leg five-speed manual transmission.
