NEW CARS>> VOLVO C30 PCP
Filed under: , , , , ,  

Just found this in my inbox. According to Volvo it is still a concept and that it will be revealed at the Göthenborg Carshow. The car will be powered by their 2.5 liter five cylinder engine with a bigger turbo and intercooler. The exterior has been painted in babyblue that contrasts nicely with the black BBS wheels. Will Volvo put this car into production? well we can always pray.

So it's basically a Focus RS that will be insurable like a Volvo. Double win.

it looks the part.. if we can trust the spec posted by 'fearless' then it should at least worth having - just imagine a modified version - i like it though.. what are those alloys??

This Volvo easily has the looks of a Focus RS or a VXR. Doubtless better build quality, so for me it's the pick of the bunch.

talked wth a volvo dealer about this car. its a one off and is highly unlikey to even see production in europe. pcp stands for polestar concept preformance.

jay said:

umm noobie question... how does an odd number of cyl work in the 4 stroke process?

April 23, 2010 9:05 PM [flag as inappropriate] Speedhunters

volvo tuner said:

5 cylinders run on gremlins, so the 4-stroke process isn't an issue.
