Concept You aims for a more classic Volvo look than the Concept Universe shown earlier this year in Shanghai ... and drops the gold bullion finish for a decidedly quieter blue liquid metal paint job. Volvo says the 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, grille and headlamps have been inspired by the works of Danish design house Georg Jensen.
Inside there's touch screens aplenty - one in the upper part of the center console, one between the two individual rear seats and one on each of the aluminum and glass steering wheel paddles. Data can be "flipped" between front and rear screens and the driver's head-up display. Perhaps to avert sensory overload, the system allows the driver to trigger the front screen into action using eye movement captured on an infrared camera. There's also a "FreshAir" subwoofer based on "not yet released technology" from Alpine that uses lightweight components and the air outside the car to create the "ultimate listening experience" (we did say it was ambitious).
