Volvo is being crystal clear about its future line-up. The Swedish firm has released a teaser shot of its S60 concept ahead of its debut at next month’s Detroit Motor Show.

A shot of the S60’s stunning interior – featuring a crystal floating dash carved by world famous Swedish glassworks Orrefors – was released last month. But this is the first glimpse we’ve got of the BMW 3-Series rival’s curvy exterior.

The original S60, launched in 2000, was a milestone for the company, with its smooth silhouette marking a move away from Volvo’s trademark boxy design. And the second generation looks set to cause a similar stir with a sleek roofline and muscular haunches.

Volvo design chief Steve Mattin has confirmed that the shape will barely change when the production version reaches showrooms in 2010.

The S60 will be powered by a range of engines from Volvo and owner Ford’s stable, including a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel and a petrol turbo 1.6. Full details will be available at Detroit.
