Maybe a little clean to have the title “punk” but I think it qualifies because of the contrast with the brand values of the company - the general perception of Volvo I have is for a company that produces estate cars for the middle classes to transport Labradors along the M4 at 90 mph.
Hot Rod Jakob was produced by Lief Tufvesson (ex-Volvo employee)and designed (& named) in the style of early Volvo from the late 1920s.
Our definition of Engine Punk asks for craft and Jakob does not disappoint with a carbon fiber chassis, except for the engine's steel subframe, and a body skinned in hand-beaten aluminium - all powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder engine that puts out 265 horsepower.
You can see more of Tufvesson's work via his company Caresto (http://www.caresto.se/).
