Volvo Reveals Dramatic New Concepts PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 30 October 2007

Volvo S80This year is Volvo’s fifth occasion at the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas and represents the most ambitious, creative line-up yet. 

No less than five modified versions of Volvo models are on display; Two of these caught our eye based on the S30 and S80 production versions.

Volvo worked with Heico Sportiv in Germany to build the S80 T6 HPC and Volvo C30, here are some of the details.

 

 

 

Heico Sportiv S80 T6 High Performance Concept (HPC)
Volvo S80Heico and Volvo are no strangers when it comes to SEMA, and the S80 T6 HPC is testament to how well both companies work together.

The S80 T6 HPC features a 350-horsepower E85 bioethanol T6 engine that is routed through an all-wheel-drive system and accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 5.8 seconds. It’s outside, however, that the S80 T6 HPC really shines.

A unique 7-layer “metal effect” paint scheme makes the car literally glow. Inside is a fully custom Mystic Blue leather interior with a sweeping aluminium centre stack that arcs seamlessly from the top of the instrument panel to the rear bucket-style seats.

Heico Sportiv C30
Volvo S30Similar to the XC70 SR, the Heico C30 is inspired by surfing; this time from the unique surf pattern inlay found on the C30’s aluminium centre stack.

Aside from the striking orange designs on the outside, the Heico C30 features a lowered stance, a fully custom body kit with integrated spoilers and larger air ducts.

Quad exhaust tips hint at the 300 horsepower beneath the hood. Bright orange, high-quality leather seats and interior trim make this car nearly impossible to miss. The upgraded, turbocharged T5 engine powers the Volvo C30 producing 300PS and can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 5.4 seconds, boasting a top speed of 155mph.
