Presented at the 1971 Paris Auto Show, Coggiola's Volvo 1800-based ESC Coupe was technically built for studying safety and comfort. It was 175 inches long, 67 inches wide, 49 inches high, and had a wheelbase of 96 inches. While not extreme in styling, a unique feature was the front grille which extended onto the lower portion of the hood.
