Volvo C30 Concept.









-We now that there are a big number of young, sucessful people whom are attracted by our brand, but still misses the model wich suits them and their taste perfectly. Volvo C30 Design Concept is brought to them, says Fredrik Arp, President at Volvo development.

This is inspired by the SSC (Safety Concept Car) concept, so the changes before this will be put to production will be in minority, if even visible.

Since its meant for young people, there'll be a descent sound system.

A digital ICE Power Amp 5x130 W from Alpine®, Dolby® Pro Logic II Surround and 10 speakers from danish Dynaudio®.

The engine is the same as in the S60 T5.
Inline 2.4, 5cyl turbo 260bhp@5500rpm 350 Nm@2100rpm - 5000rpm.
The transmission's a 6geared manual.
0-60 6sec
top speed - 250km/h

Personally, i think its gonna be a think its gonna be a huge hit. Descent engine, nice sound, brembo brakes and other misc. stuffed init.
And the new rims are much better then the older.
The fact that there are many lines from the old P 1800 is cool too.

Not into economy cars, but if I was going to buy one that'd be it. Looks smooth.
