Automaker Inhibition Experiments

The Volvo S60 Naughty Experiment Shows a New Side of the Automake

The Volvo S60 Naughty Experiment has to be one of the best research experiments ever done by a car company. Volvo was looking to promote their new S60 and see which of Europe’s major cities were the naughtiest at the same time. Let the party begin!

The Volvo S60 Naughty Experiment took place under the guise of a promotional party for the Volvo S60. Party goers were unknowingly tested to see if they would do things like trample a flowerbed, flirt with a married woman, and try and sneak into a VIP room. Check out the video to see the whole experiment, and hit the gallery to see the winner.
