This Monday (August 21) will be the first time in 38 years that some parts in the US will witness a total solar eclipse. While the majority will witness the event behind secure sunglasses, Volvo is offering an exclusive opportunity.

Volvo has come up with a custom-made eclipse viewer that attaches to the XC60's roof magnetically. The eclipse viewer will be sold through a few Volvo dealerships in Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Missouri, and South Carolina, and is ISO-certified.

The eclipse viewer will convert the standard panoramic sunroof of the XC60 into a luxury lounge, allowing five people to view the solar eclipse in comfort. Also, Volvo will even live stream the entire eclipse in 4k on its 'Racing The Sun' website.
