Evolve S40

My local dealer had their anual garage sale a couple of weeks ago and they had the Evolve S40 on display. It wasn't open and I couldn't find any Evolve reps around, but here are a couple of pics of the car.





I was a bit disappointed in the finish of the grilles. The black paint was flaking in several areas showing the metal through. The colours are a bit silly as well, but I guess for a demo car... The fit of the kit is quite good and the interior looked well done as well.

That thing is hot, just paint the trunk and make the hood carbon fiber and it would be perfect.

Not bad. If only you didn't have to drop a ton of money to get a Volvo to handle well, it'd be perfect.

just like how Infamous and CGTSX said, its nice n all, but way too expensive. Too bad they dont have ACTUAL parts, engine mod wise, that can be bought for the regular consumer.

one of the reasons I dig the S60 is it's kind of got the body design of my favorite generation Accord(94-97) if you look at the sides where it "rolls" in near the windows. the 98-02s sedan were okay and the 03s-05 sedan is horrible
