One company is drawing inspiration from the past to redefine luxury driving experiences now. Cyan Racing, the Swedish motorsport team renowned for its dominance in touring car racing, has unveiled the latest evolution of its masterpiece: the Volvo P1800 Cyan GT.
The transformation from a classic Volvo P1800 to the Cyan GT is a labor of love. Every car is meticulously restored and modified at Cyan’s headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, a process that spans 12 to 15 months per vehicle. The result is a masterpiece that seamlessly combines heritage with cutting-edge engineering, delivering an unparalleled driving experience.
With a nod to the timeless design of the original Volvo P1800 introduced in 1961, the Cyan Racing team has meticulously restored and reimagined this classic grand tourer. The exterior boasts subtle yet striking enhancements, including widened bodywork crafted from carbon fiber and steel. The metallic green hue of the debut model is a study in classic elegance, while details like the two-piece bumpers and racing-style fuel filler cap pay homage to the car’s racing heritage.
The cabin is a blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. The sand-colored leather and fabric interior are made from premium materials, with bespoke seats designed for luxurious touring. Cyan Racing has incorporated additional sound-deadening materials, ensuring a serene cabin environment even during spirited drives. Each interior is tailored to the client’s preferences, reflecting Cyan’s commitment to personalized craftsmanship.
At the core of the Cyan GT lies a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, meticulously tuned to deliver exhilarating performance without compromising drivability. One of the hallmarks of the Cyan GT is its versatility in engine configurations, allowing clients to tailor their driving experience to their preferences. With power outputs ranging from 350 to 420 horsepower, drivers can choose the perfect balance of power and agility to suit their driving style.
Coupled with the turbocharged engine is a bespoke five-speed Holinger gearbox, renowned for its precision and responsiveness. This custom transmission ensures seamless power delivery to the rear wheels, translating the engine’s output into pure driving exhilaration. Designed for performance in every aspect, the Cyan GT features a fully adjustable suspension system tuned for optimal handling on both the track and the road.
For automotive enthusiasts craving the ultimate blend of heritage and performance, the Cyan Racing Volvo P1800 Cyan GT is a rare opportunity. Each car is crafted to order as a limited production model, with pricing and specifications available upon inquiry.
