Volvo has been a leading innovator in the automotive market for years, so much so that many people refer to its designs as “uniquely Scandinavian” or simply “Volvo-esq.” The two new concepts from the Swedish automaker, named the Concept 40 series offer bold new styling and a unique perspective on car design that will open up architectural and design options for Volvo’s engineers.

If ever we were to describe a season as an oxymoron, it would be the Swedish winter. Harsh and beautiful, Sweden's frigid months combine the captivating with the terrifying.
