Default 2011 Volvo S60 Heico Sportiv

I kind of like this new S60. Nice design.











Thanks to e.motion, the Volvo S60 2.0T generates a colossal 47 bhp more than its series-produced counterpart (currently 250 bhp/184 kW) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm (additional 50 Nm).

In the 4-wheel drive version of the Volvo S60 T6, the engine power is boosted to 330 bhp (243 kW) and 460 Nm, allowing the top-of-the-range model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds (series version: 6.5 seconds) and reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h (electronically capped). Naturally, all HEICO SPORTIV ECU upgrades fulfill the rigorous Euro 5 emissions classification standard. Further tuning programs for the T3, T4 and T5 engine variants are under development.

Isn't Volvo's S series supposed to be a step up from the C's?

This interior looks almost identical to the C30 we rented a couple of months ago.

interior doesn't look all that appealing, but the performance upgrades are a definite bonus. on top of that, the new look does suit it well. i've never liked the extra front lighting, and i'm not even sure it adds that much light compared to the headlights.

Pretty serious performance sedan, at least for Volvo.

Will it be coming to the US?
