Volvo Tundra


The Volvo Tundra was a concept car built and designed by Bertone in 1979. Bertone was told to do "something delicious" based on the Volvo 343. The angular design was by Marcello Gandini and continued the themes developed for the Lamborghini Silhouette and the Reliant FW11. It was rejected by Volvo, who thought it was too modern and difficult to sell. Bertone instead sold a very similar design to Citroën, where it was produced as Citroën BX. The Tundra's rear side window had a pulled down top edge, a theme which was continued on the BX' C-pillar. The overall effect was of a "floating roof," a design idea which has become popular in the 2010's.
The car featured a digital speedometer and was powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine giving.
