Driven: Cyan Racing's $700,000 Volvo P1800 Is A Screamer Hiding Under Classy Carbon Fiber
Cyan Racing first unveiled this bespoke restomod based on the 1960s Volvo P1800 back in 2020. With a modern Volvo turbo-four pumping out 420 horsepower through a dogleg five-speed stick shift, all in a reworked chassis that weighs below 1,000 kilos thanks to plenty of carbon-fiber construction, the P1800 Cyan looks perfectly classy but beneath the skin lurks some seriously scary performance potential.
HotCars contributor Michael Van Runkle scored an early test drive of the P1800 Cyan with GM Hans Baath in the passenger seat to explain all the craftsmanship and engineering that goes into bringing such an incredible vision to life. Screaming to redline, hustling through corners, and slamming to a stop with completely unassisted brakes, the P1800 Cyan takes everything a driver can throw at it and just begs for more. The eye-popping blue paint job matches an astounding $700,000 pricetag but given the build quality, racing heritage, and engaging dynamics that Cyan manages to combine in one slick package, expect the 100 planned units to sell out quickly as more breathtaking reviews come rolling in.
