Volvo P1800 Cyan: 414bhp restomod spawns GT version

Swedish firm Cyan Racing has revealed a grand tourer version of its bespoke Volvo P1800 Cyan, which brings improved performance and a custom interior.

Cyan Racing, which is located in Mölndal, just south of Gothenburg, first revealed the P1800 Cyan in 2020 as a motorsport-inspired homage to the original Volvo P1800, which was itself launched in the 1960s.

The new P1800 Cyan GT features a similar design to the 2020 car's, but revisions have been made beneath the metal. The biggest difference is that the adjustable suspension has been tuned specifically for country roads and long-distance driving.

Inside, the GT is fitted with sand-coloured leather and fabric upholstery, with more comfortable seats than in the original P1800 Cyan. The brand also claims the cabin offers better sound insulation than before. There’s also a new roll cage, which is claimed to improve the car's rigidity.
