The Volvo Tundra was a concept car which was built and designed by Bertone sometime in 1979 after being told to do “something delicious” based on the Volvo 343.[1] The angular design was by Marcello Gandini, and continued the themes developed for the Lamborghini Silhouette and the Reliant (Anadol) FW11.[2] It was rejected by Volvo who thought it was too modern and difficult to sell.
Bertone instead sold a very similar design to Citroën where it was produced as Citroën BX from 1982 to 1994.[3]
The rear side window of the Tundra had a pulled down top edge, a theme which was continued on the C Pillar of the BX. The overall effect was of a floating roof, a design idea that would become popular in the 2010s.[3] The car featured a digital speedometer and was powered by a 1.4 litre four-cylinder engine, giving 70 PS (51 kW).
