Design : VOLVO SC90 Concept - Handsome, Powerful and Safe

VOLVO SC90 Concept

The SC90 was designed by Nouphone J. Bansasine during his internship at Volvo in Summer 2007. The brief was to create a new premium product line for the brand.


As Nouphone explains, "My proposal was based on the growing trend for premium 4 door coupes, taking the concept to the extreme by exploring and developing a premium 4 door sportscar for the year 2015."

This sportscar with 4 doors and 4 seats would become Volvo's new flagship model and drive the brand towards a more emotional direction.

The Volvo SC90 would compete in the premium sport sedan segment with such models ad the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide.

Volvo SC90 ConceptThe main design element of the car is its profile, chracterized by convex and concave surfacing.

This gives the car a classic and simple silhouette with a "more complex and fresh second read."

Seen in side profile the main defining lines and secondary elements are strategically designed by angled profiles from 180 to 90 degree increment.

"Each week I had a status review with VMCC's Vice President, Design Director, Strategic Design Chief, Senior Designers, Business Manager, and Studio Engineers.
