Volvo Tundra official video by Bertone

The Volvo Tundra was a concept car, which was built and designed by Bertone, sometime in 1979. Bertone was told to do “something delicious”, based on the Volvo 343. The angular design was by Marcello Gandini, and continued the themes developed for the Lamborghini Silhouette, and the Reliant (Anadol) FW11. It was rejected by Volvo, who thought it was too modern, and difficult to sell. Bertone instead sold one very similar design to Citroën, where it was produced as Citroën BX. The rear side window of the Tundra had one pulled down top edge, a theme which was continued, on the C Pillar of the BX. The overall effect was of one “floating roof”, the design idea which soon became popular, in the 2010s. The car featured one digital speedometer, and was powered by one 1.4 litre four cylinder engine, giving 70 PS (51 kW). More info here:
