This daring independent study charts an alternative path for Volvo’s midsize sedan and wagon, drawing inspiration from the brand’s roots

The Volvo 240 from the '80s inspired an independent design study for a fully electric vehicle. Jordan Rubinstein-Towler modernized the boxy shape of the classic in sedan and wagon variants. In an alternate universe, these EVs could serve as successors to the discontinued S60/V60.

Modern design elements, like Volvo’s signature Thor's Hammer LED headlight graphics, streamlined alloy wheels, and taut, clean surfacing, bring the fictional 240 firmly into the 21st century. Meanwhile, subtle aerodynamic flourishes, such as slim bumper intakes and neatly integrated side gills, elevate its efficiency beyond the brick-like aerodynamics of its predecessor.
