Volvo 343 Politie NL by Editions Atlas

4/29/2014

8 Comments

 
The number forty-two in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 343 in the colors of the Dutch Police. The Dutch Police used the Volvo 343 from the end of the 1970's into the 1980's. The Volvo 343 had a couple of different liveries over the years.
Here is a link with infos regarding this Dutch Police car :
politievoertuigen.nl
Personal note :
As you already may know I have really not enough knowledge of Police cars and all their liveries. I just can't tell you if this scale model is correct in every tiny detail and if all the lights, mirrors as well as the Police lettering are in the right place.
Any help is welcome.

UPDATED - Volvo P1900 by BoS-Models

4/12/2014

3 Comments

 
Many comments have been left regarding the P1900 by BoS-Models. There are the ones who just love that this models has been released in 1:18. And there is the other group who would have preferred to see another Volvo in 1:18.

I don't have the model myself but I can tell from the photos that this resin model is gorgeous.

The P1900 is of course not a 4x4 but I want to share the following photos with you. A Swedish Volvo fan took them out in the nature. See the result yourself.

Volvo S60  V8 Supercars by Apex Replicars

4/8/2014

1 Comment

 
I just saw an announcement on Facebook for a new Volvo scale model. This completely new project shows the Volvo S60 as V8 Supercar version. That car is running in Australia in the V8 Supercar championship. The scale model will be offered by the Australian company Apex Replicas. They will produce the car from the ongoing 2014 season in two different liveries. And the best thing is most certainly that they will offer each version as 1:43 as well as 1:18 scale model. An exact release date for these models is not yet known. The official price for the 1:43 models will be 70 $ ( 51 € ) and 150 $ ( 109 € ) for the 1:18 versions. I do not know if those models will be officially offered outside Australia. I will let you know a soon as I have received any info’s.

Volvo ECC by Editions Atlas

4/4/2014

Picture
The number forty-one in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo ECC protoype from 1992. ECC stands for Environmental Concept Car. The design of this car influenced the design of many new Volvo's to come. The model is painted pearly white. The interior is beige witch reflects the leather as well as the cork which were used throughout the interior of the prototype. This is the very first time that this model is offered as 1:43 scale model.

Quote from a Wikipedia article  :
 The Volvo ECC was built on the Volvo 850 platform. In contrast to most production hybrids, which use a gasoline piston engine to provide additional acceleration and to recharge the battery storage, the Volvo ECC used a gas turbine engine to drive the generator for recharging. This type of engine has a higher thermodynamic efficiency than the conventional internal combustion engine with pistons. Also in Volvo's design, the fuel is evaporated and mixed with air before ignition. This provides a very low NOx emission. The driver can also switch between gas turbine electric and hybrid by switches on the dashboard.

The maximum power available was 95 brake horsepower, with 75 available for continuous use. It had a drag coefficient of 0.23. With the vehicle weighing approximately 300 pounds more than a conventional Volvo 850, acceleration from zero to sixty miles per hour was in the twenty second range. Top speed was 110 miles per hour (180 km/h). The vehicles range on batteries alone was 90 miles (140 km), and when combined with a full tank of fuel for the turbine, about 415 miles (668 km).

The Volvo ECC was debuted at a time when California was seeking Zero Pollution Vehicles (ZPV). With its gas turbine, the Volvo ECC was not a zero-emissions vehicle, and hence did not meet the needs of the time. With the focus now shifted away from true zero emissions vehicles, many of the concepts tested in the ECC may prove of value in future concept and production vehicles.

Volvo has finally released their model of the Volvo Concept XC Coupé. The first units have been shipped and some customers have already their copy. The 1:43 scale resin model is a limited edition and comes in a VIP presentation box. Only 1000 numbered models are available.

This new Volvo model can only be purchased at Volvo's official merchandising web-shop. This resin made model is available for 130.80 € under item number 2300379-000-000. It might be that a Volvo dealer in your region is offering them too. Or they might be willing to order one for you.

It might be smart not to wait too long before buying one if you want this model. The first model of Volvo's concept cars - the Volvo Concept Coupé - is already sold out.
