The Volvo Tundra is a concept car built and designed by Bertone in 1979.
Design
Bertone's design prompt was to do "something delicious" based on the Volvo 343.[1] The angular design was by Marcello Gandini, and continued the themes developed for the Lamborghini Silhouette and the Reliant (Anadol) FW11.[2] It was rejected by Volvo, who considered the design too modern and deemed it difficult to market.
It is often misreported that Bertone instead sold a very similar design to Citroën, where it was produced as the Citroën BX from 1982 to 1994.[3] However, this would have meant Citroën turned a concept into a series production model in less than 18 months.[4] The relationship is simply that the two designs appeared from the same design house.[5][6]
The Tundra's rear-side window had a pulled-down top edge, an idea also seen on the BX C-pillar. The effect was of a floating roof, a design idea that would become popular in the 2010s.[3]
Specifications
The Tundra was powered by the same 1.4 litre four-cylinder engine as the 343, producing Script error: No such module "convert". and sending power to the rear wheels. The interior of the car featured a digital speedometer.
