Limited Edition Volvo V70 T6 AWD R-Design
The company behind the creation with such a long name is pretty unfamiliar to most people as it bears the name Heico Sportiv but in truth, their work over the years has received a nice welcome everytime.

I’m guessing this Volvo V70 job will be no exception as the stylish conversion will run in a limited series of just 100 units all sold in Germany.

2015 Volvo SC90 Sports Sedan Concept
Although technically sanctioned by Volvo, the SC90 concept, we see here, is the brainchild of Nouphone J. Bansasine while studying at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center.

To be honest, it is not exactly Volvo-ish, in fact, if it didn’t have that massive badge on the front i’d forget about the V-shaped bonnet and think it was something more…exotic.

New Concept: Volvo C30 Polestar
I heard some words which were saying that Volvo C30 Polestar Concept is with no doubt the “king of the jungle” at hot hatch category, if they would make this car in series. But for now this Volvo C30 is just a so called “performance concept” which highlights what engineers and designers could do if they would have “open road” ahead.
Actually this model is a project which marks the fifteenth participation of Volvo and Polestar in Sweedish Touring Car Championship (STCC). This Volvo C30 Concept is impressive from the engine power point of view, coming equipped with a 2.5 liter capacity turbo engine, the same from Ford Focus RS, which is able to develop up to 405 horsepower and a torque of 510 Nm.
Volvo will make spring driving more enjoyable
We all know spring can bring along a lot of pleasantries compared to the harsh and cold winter. These smiling sensations are ever more important to motorists as there’s no more ice and snow to worry about or stuff like that.

For quite a few though spring can be a very annoying time as this season brings up lots and lots of allergenic issues due to pollen and other microorganisms that crop up in the spring.
The New Volvo S80 With Facelift
Maybe you noticed that this Volvo S80 facelift version doesn’t come with big changes, the only major changes from the exterior point of view is the new frontal grille with a bigger logo, a new spoiler, the chromium insertion from the back and the Volvo inscription from the trunk which is bigger now.
If you take a look in the interior, the steering wheel is slightly different, the new thing is that metallic insertion in the lower side, and that’s it. The materials used are very good, not even a Citroen C6 or Lexus GS doesn’t have this kind of material quality. The wheelbase size of this Volvo S80 is at the same level with the one from Audi A6.
Volvo C30 Got A Facelift
First of all this Volvo C30 has a problem with the steering wheel position, this car is for those of you with long legs that prefers to drive with the steering wheel highest possible. Also the visibility on the side-back is kind of weak. The car weighs almost the same like an 118i with three doors.
But the BMW is faster with almost one second from 0 to 100 km/h but I’m not going to make this kind of comparisons. This Volvo C30 comes with a gasoline engine of 2.0 liters developing 146 horsepower and is not that slow as you think. The superior version of motorization is a 2.4i, but to feel a maximum driving pleasure the best engine is a T5, a turbo with 5 cylinders which develops 230 horsepower.
Volvo S60 In Belgian Touring Car Series
It seems like Volvo S60 wants to impress taking part at Belgian Touring Car Series showing this way the sport side of the Volvo. Volvo has a pretty nice history when it comes to racing, I’m saying that because models like Volvo 850 competing with success at BTCC. Now Volvo will reenter in a championship, but not the British one (BTCC), but in the Belgian BTCS.
The chosen model for this is the new Volvo S60, the most recent model released as you already know. This impressive creation will have a lot of power under the hood, leaving the series model way behind from this point of view. S60 will be equipped with a V6 engine at 3.5 liter capacity, centrally located being able to develop 416 horsepower and a torque of 402 Nm.
