Volvo "Concept You" revealed !!!

The Concept You, revealed at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, combines a sleek coupe-like exterior with a luxurious high-tech interior that keeps the driver in command via intuitive smart pad technology.

The Concept You picks up where the Concept Universe, revealed at Auto Shanghai earlier this year, left off. It gives the global car buying public another exciting glimpse of the Volvo Car Corporation's future.

While, the Universal Concept was an absolutely fresh sketch to begin with, the Concept You as it’s been re-named now offers a far more luxurious and intuitive feel. The company has collected global feedback on Concept Universe, both through surveys and by closely monitoring social media comments.
With a more daring coupe -like profile than the Concept Universe, the Concept now reflects how people's perception of luxury is moving beyond the traditional perspective.

The "Designed Around You" strategy has become the guiding principle for Volvo's future designs, and in the Concept You this becomes very apparent. Intuitive smart pad technology makes the driver totally connected, and completely in control.

The Concept You multimedia information display systems consist of four main areas; a digital Driver Information Monitor (DIM), a head-up display on the windscreen, a touch-screen in the upper part of the centre console and a touch-screen between the two individual rear seats.

The touch-screen in the upper part of the centre console remains in sleep mode until the driver looks at it. A hidden infrared camera registers the eye movements and information is displayed on the screen.

The driver can "flip" data from the central touch-screen to the head-up display and can exchange data with the rear passengers. Certain functions, such as surfing the Web, are only accessible from the passenger side while the car is rolling.

"The new Concept You roofline stretches all the way back to the tail lamps - creating that dynamic fastback look that is very much in vogue among European car buyers at the moment," says Peter Horbury, Vice President Design at the Volvo Car Corporation.
