This Anarchist Volvo Looks Like Every Soccer Mom's Nightmare, But We Absolutely Love It

Those who thought Volvos are for old folks or soccer moms are about to discover the hidden potential lying behind those hammer-shaped LED headlights.

We tested the 2016 Volvo XC90 and guess what nickname it ended up with? Yes, it involves the thunder-mastering god from the Norse mythology because, you know, cool headlights.

So, for us, the Volvo XC90 is Thor 2.0, but for some the design embraced by the Swedish carmaker is simply too soft. So they came up with a good Volvo went bad. How bad?

Anarchism bad, looking ready to swallow long stretches of asphalt and remind other cars those Thor hammer-shaped LED headlights are not something you should play with.

Also, here's another interesting detail. A couple of months ago, we showed you a set of jaw-dropping renderings of a potential Aston Martin DB11, created by 15-year old Thai designer Jennarong Muengtaweepongsa. He did an awesome job with those renderings from Pixel Land, but this Anarchist Volvo is even better.

We're saying this because you wouldn't expect a Volvo to look that aggressive. So, what happened along the way?

Well, the answer to that question is Photoshop. That and a race-inspired front bumper coupled with bolted wheel arches and flame spitting side exhausts.

By now, we're pretty sure you noticed the set of wheels acting as shoes for this virtual-world Volvo in coupé configuration, along with the push up position dictated by the low stance.

Trust us when we say this is not something you want to see in the rearview mirror while cruising on the highway, although if the car was to be real, we wouldn't even think using it in the city, where the encounter with potholes and speed bumps could be fatal.

We have one regret, though: we're stuck with watching this rendering and can't focus on something else anymore. Check it out and see if it has the same effect on you.
