Volvo Car Corporation is rewriting the rulebook on how we will use our cars in the future with its 3CC prototype being unveiled to the public for the first time at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Shanghai, October 12-14.

From the outside, the Volvo 3CC has an iconic funky-cool tapered shape designed to make a dynamic statement that nonetheless is unmistakably Volvo. Under the hood is an electric powertrain that quietly propels the Volvo 3CC to a governed top speed of over 135 km/h (85 mph) and delivers zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in approximately ten seconds – with zero emissions!

Just 3899 mm long, 1624 mm wide and 1321 mm high, the Volvo 3CC has dimensions similar to a classic 2-seater sports car – but that is where similarities end. For the sporty vehicle packs a surprise: a unique two-plus-one configuration, providing seating for two adults in the front and a unique rear seat solution for an additional adult or two children.

Very cool. Thats actually pretty decent performance for an electric car. Hopefully it (or something like it) comes to NA, it would be cool to have sporty little electric cars running around.

 

Love those rims!

good idea, but I'm not up on the whole electric idea.... if it were fuel cell or something, I'd be impressed.

 

Looks like a Scion tC and a BMW 5 or 7 series thrown together....but nonetheless.....looks absolutely hot
