NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
The number eighty-three in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the the Volvo PV544 Sista. Volvo's PV range (PV 444; PV544)was a huge commercial success. The very last Volvo PV544 model had been built after an eighteen year production run which saw regular improvements, updated features as well as engine upgrades. The very last production car wore chassis number 440000. It drove on October 20, 1965 from the assembly plant in Lundby (SE) directly to Volvo's own car museum. At the wheel was the test driver Nils Wickström. That very last PV544 was a "Sport" version equipped with the 95 hp engine. It had been painted black even if that color was no longer offered in the official program. "Sista" is Swedish and translates into "last". Editions Atlas is offering this Volvo now as a 1:43 scale replica. It is of course another spinoff of already known and previously released models. The main difference being that it comes as the original car with the text on both sides. My bet is that we all would have preferred another newly engineered scale model. But the already announced end of the Editions Atlas car collections make it hard to add any new development. This livery is at least a replica of an important moment in Volvo's long history.

The number eighty-two in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the the Volvo S80 in its top of the line version. Volvo equipped the second generation (2006–2016) of their top of the range limousine with a V8 engine. This engine had been produced by Yamaha in Japan for Volvo. The engine had to fit into the rather small place of the engine bays of the Volvo S80 as well as the Volvo XC90. Volvo began offering the 4.4 L V8 engine in its large P2 platform automobiles in 2005. It was initially offered only for the Volvo XC90 but later found its way in the second generation Volvo S80 and mated to a six speed Aisin Seiki transmission of Japan also with a Swedish Haldex all wheel drive system AWD. This i:43 scale model comes in a nice, pleasant and classic combo of a nice green metallic paint featuring a biscuit colored leather interior.
