The Volvo 780 coupé designed by Bertone.

Vehicle Overview

The Volvo 780 stands as a distinguished pinnacle of automotive excellence, emanating from the illustrious halls of the Swedish manufacturer in 1985. Yet, the genesis of the 780 project predates its official debut, tracing back to Volvo’s visionary concept in 1981, subsequently refined and revitalized by the skilled artisans at Bertone to infuse it with a sporty allure. The culmination of this collaborative effort birthed a vehicle that seamlessly melded Bertone’s dynamic aesthetics with Volvo’s hallmark family-oriented design ethos. Crafted under the adept hands of Bertone, the Volvo 780 exudes an aura of sophistication and grandeur, tailored specifically for the discerning tastes of the American market. Its commanding presence, characterized by imposing proportions and timeless lines, evokes a sense of opulence and refinement, setting it apart as a true luxury offering. One of the remarkable aspects of the Volvo 780 lies in its role as a testament to Bertone’s versatility and adaptability. While the design originated from Volvo’s vision, Bertone’s adept touch infused it with a distinct sporty flair, showcasing the company’s ability to seamlessly blend diverse design philosophies into a cohesive whole. This collaborative endeavor marked a significant milestone in Bertone’s evolutionary journey, heralding the production of a model not solely conceived within its own design studios. Underneath its elegant exterior, the Volvo 780 offered a range of potent powertrains to cater to diverse driving preferences. From spirited petrol engines spanning 2000, 2300, and 2800 cc variants to the efficient 2400 cc diesel option, the 780 provided a versatile driving experience tailored to meet the needs of its discerning clientele. From its inception in 1985 to the culmination of production in 1991, the Grugliasco factory bore witness to the creation of over 9,000 units of the Volvo 780, each meticulously crafted to exacting standards and destined to traverse the globe, gracing roads on five continents with its presence. As a testament to Bertone’s enduring legacy and Volvo’s commitment to excellence, the Volvo 780 remains a timeless icon, a symbol of automotive craftsmanship and collaborative innovation.
