2016 Volvo XC90 Gets Widebody Kit, Drops to the Ground in This Wicked Rendering

Over the last couple of years, the internet has developed quite a fetish for wicked renderings that take production vehicle way, way beyond what their makers intended. And we're here to give you the freshest example of this, one you can find above.

We're dealing with the 2016 Volvo XC90, seen here in a form we don't expect to meet too soon, whether we're talking about a major auto show or your local Cars and Coffee event.

Coming from digital artist Rain Prisk, the image shows what would happen if the Swedish SUV went through the kind of customization process that aims to go wild without risking to push the overkill button.

First of all, this Volvo XC90 has been gifted with a widebody kit. The most important part lies in the details of the body modification, since these seem to fit the factory styling cues of the Volvo perfectly.

Then there's the ride height. This is the kind of appearance modification that would probably require mode than just an electronic lowering module for the air suspension, though.

Nevertheless, it doesn't matter how well the transformation is integrated, as the XC90's character will never fit such sporty ambitions. Even after Volvo's Polestar touched the T8 hybrid, the resulting 415 hp SUV did offer respectable performance, but the way in which the power is delivered simply doesn't invite one to weld the throttle all that often.

We'll probably have to wait for years and years until the slow depreciation asset of the XC90 is no longer valid - with youngsters grabbing the car for the fun of it, everything is possible. And you don't even have to take our word for it, as we've recently brought you an example of what happens when a Volvo 940 becomes a drift car, one that delivers rather sweet stunts.
