  Volvo Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1998, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company and placed in its Premier Automotive Group.
The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the hood or trunk of the car.
In the early 1970s Volvo acquired the car-making division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

I know the car exists and Volvo has confirmed to dealers that it is coming but no one seems to have photos.
Thus, if Volvo were to succesfully offer a sports car version of this c50 it could do wonders for the company.
If this new C50 is a 4-seater and has a retractable hard top, to me that smacks of a GT (grand touring) and not an all-out sports car.

Although it looks a lot like the current C70 convertible, Volvo hopes that the slightly smaller C50 will appeal to a younger audience that might otherwise opt for Audi's A4 cabriolet or the upcoming BMW 3 Series convertible.
This would allow the C50 to effectively replace both the C70 convertible and the now defunct C70 coupe in Volvo's lineup.
The C50 looks to have roughly the same overall dimensions as well so rear passenger space will be tight, but usable.

 DAILY EDITION: Mar. 16, 2004 - The Car Connection
At auto shows, Volvo has already introduced its new S40 sedan and V50 station wagon, both sharing styling elements with other, larger Volvo sedans and wagons.
The C50 coupe will share the platform of the S40/V50 models, but it is expected that the styling will be completely different.
In fact, the design of the new C50 is said to be reminiscent of Volvo's curvaceous 1800S sports car, which it produced in very limited numbers in the 1960s.

there was talk from the guys at volvo about possibly making a C70 roadster with the R engine and selling for around $55k USD in the UK back when the planning was first starting, but it'll be a while before we see if they do that.

Meanwhile, Volvo is recalling 10,000 cars due to a problem with steering ball joints which could affect handling on S60, V70 and S80 models built during 2003.

Ford's Swedish subsidiary Volvo is readying a third model on the C1 global compact platform -- a new coupe/convertible with a retractable hardtop that will be called C50.
The sporty two-door, which will be unveiled this fall at the Paris Auto Show, joins the S40 sedan and the V50 wagon in Volvo's small-car lineup for the coming year.
The C50 will come with a choice of five-cylinder engines, like its siblings, and will offer a four-wheel-drive option when it arrives in showrooms next year, probably as a 2006 model.
