volvo 262 is design by bertone for volvo, 262 roof a bit lower n look more sporty compare with 242 (just like normal 244 but missing 2door).
is rare and collecter item now, last two month there is one unit for sales n sold in les than 24hr.... cry

Only 262c is by bertone as you said, very rare. There's normal 262 as well.



Volvo model designation especially the 200 series, confuses me.

this

volvo 480

I've seen this on the road in Kota Kinabalu. Same colour.

Looks weird IMO even though I like the c pillar.

this ?

the humpback is unmistakable from a chrysler crossfire, the one you posted should be a heavily custom one.


a stock crossfire

more?

the same as your photo previously. completely stock from the looks of it.

Speaking of Volvo,

Here's anotherl Volvo that's designed by Italian coachbuilder rival.

1970 Volvo 3000 GTZ Zagato



Volvo was financially comfortable, thank to the critically acclaimed P1800 that sold well in Europe & USA. However, an Italian Volvo importer, Motauto wanted spice up their line-up something with sportier. So they assigned Fissore (a defunct Italian coachbuilder) to make a fastback variant of P1800 in which then presented at Turin Motorshow in 1965, hoping to impress Volvo so they would put it into production.



Volvo executives were like...yeah...but no....P1800 sell really well...so we're good.

Motauto weren't ready to give up. Zagato was brought in to design a much more edgier P1800. A new design & a worthy successor of the aging P1800 that would absolutely melt the hearts of Volvo executives at 1969 Turin Motoshow with the Volvo 2000 GTZ Zagato.



Volvo executives were like...yeah...ermm....no....P1800 still sell well...& its too expensive to end the production now...besides now family sedan is the shit now...so we're good.

Motauto weren't having it. Zagato wasted no time designed another one based on Volvo 164.





The result was a lighter, faster & more aerodynamic than its predecessor powered by 190hp 3.0L straight 6 with the top speed of 200kph which was later presented at 1970 Geneva Motorshow.

Predictably, Volvo weren't interested at all putting it into production. After all the rejection, Motauto gave up. The car was sold to an anonymous buyer on the spot at the Geneva Motorshow. There were rumours that there were 50 unit produce. We never know.

Decades later, a Swedish car collector snapped up the car. It is now waiting to be restored.

1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Junior Flying Pug



Japan is no stranger in creating quirky looking things. Opinions usually split in the middle, either you love it or you want to rinse your eyes with bleach in hoping the pain would erase the memory of the the thing that you want to unsee.

Mitsubishi Pajero Junior sold in Japan domestic market which was based on stretch Minica chassis.



The styling is inspired by black London cab Austin FX4, but that doesn't explain where they get the inspiration on how "Flying Pug" name come about. Retro styling? Dog? I dunno.



Mitsubishi produced 3 special edition including this one, which was the final special edition in order to boost sales. Things did not go well at all. The sales of the vehicle dropped significantly from 13,934 units in 1997 to a pathetic 149 units in 1998. They were planning to produce 1,000 units of Flying Pug, unfortunately for them, the styling is unfavourable to the general public. Only 139 units were made.
