Volvo 262C. 1977–81 (prod. 6,622; incl. 912 with 2849 cm³). 2-door coupé. F/R, 2664, 2849 cm³ (V6 OHC). It’s hard to make a boxy Volvo sporty when certain bits from the 264 have to be retained. Lower roofline and vinyl roof. Conceived by Jan Wilsgaard and productionized by Sergio Coggiola: odd marriage of Swedish conservatism and excess. Built by Bertone but very expensive. Comfortable and rare, but certainly not sporting.

Manufacturing location: Torino, Italy

Marque: Volvo | Successor: Volvo 780
