- Autoforma has designed a beautiful Volvo P1800ES shooting brake restomod.
- It is available in three versions, with the cool Forward Fashionista making its debut first.
- It has a turbocharged Volvo T5 engine, revised suspension and striking color options.
Autoforma, a Dutch restomod design company, has introduced a stunning version of the P1800ES shooting brake from the early 1970s. The company offers the car in three versions, starting with the Forward Fashionista, the most extreme variant.
Under the hood is a turbocharged T5 five-cylinder engine from Volvo, mated to a ‘revised transmission’. Autoforma also improves the brakes with improved cooling and gives the car a quicker steering ratio.
The trim also includes reworked chassis geometry and a wider stance. The bumpers are available in anthracite, silver and chrome gloss, with the grille and front receiving reworked details. There are also carbon fiber wheel arch extensions, a front chin spoiler and an integrated roof spoiler.

LED lighting is standard front and rear on the Volvo, with two forged wheel options, an optional roof rack and a range of bespoke paint finishes. The Forward Fashionista upholstery has the widest and strongest color palette of the three upholsteries.
Inside, there’s a reupholstered dashboard, redesigned seats and door panels, and a new center console that starts at the dash and splits the rear seat in half. Autoforma even offers optional tailor-made luggage to match whatever interior you choose.
The other two P1800 versions are called Heritage Heaven and Modern Marvel. The Heritage “honors the original design language,” according to the company, and is available in period-correct colors and materials with mechanical upgrades aimed at reliability.
The Modern Marvel edition extends the scope of modernization and offers modern lighting options, improved suspension and a wider range of colors and materials. Autoforma plans to build five cars a year at a price of about €300,000 ($356,000 at the current exchange rate). Hagerty.
