Volvo SEMA concept:




"Sold to Evolve Cars, Inc. for $1, the Volvo S40 is strictly a VCNA Marketing exercise designed to build interest among the aftermarket enthusiast segment. "It's great to be at SEMA again," commented Thomas Andersson, Executive Vice President of Marketing at VCNA. "I think that the Evolve S40 will make an even bigger impression than last year's Volvo cars." Painted an eye-catching Silver metallic and Titanium Gray metallic paint scheme, the Evolve S40 is a full force frontal assault on the tuner enthusiast market. With an estimated 400+ horsepower going to all four wheels through a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission, the Evolve S40 will turn lap times as fast as it will turn heads."

probably just an optical illusion, but does anyone else think that rear wheel is running some serious negative camber?

The back end makes it look like a lexus, I think that FMC is spreading it's "Sports" expertise too thinly. Let Volvo do what they are best at, making virtually indestructable cars for the masses, and let the likes of Mazda and Ford do the big engined sporty stuff!

Man, those back wheels sure do have some serious neg-camber...

I like the stock S40, but that hood does look cool

They really have that car set-up for carving corners.
If would make a nice competitor for the M-3 sedan.
