Yes I know they didn't make a C70R but if they did this is what it would have been. I have worked at Volvo dealer for over ten years so all the upgrades were done right and work 100%. This car has been my daily driver for over 2 years and I don't want to see it go but a house is more important than a toy right now and I have to sell it. When I purchased it it was a none stock 2.3 turbo manual transmission car. I will try to remember everything I have done to it but I will prob forget a few things because of how much time and effort has gone into this car. Last winter I did all the upgrades to the car in about a months time. First off I put a 2.5 S60R engine with 104k and a brand new Volvo S60R turbocharger. At this time I also replaced all the engine seals gaskets thermostat hoses water pump breather system plugs timing belt kit serpentine belt a new a/c compressor new Volvo turbo single mass flywheel with a new 850R clutch and throughout bearing new axle seals all new fluids and anything else that needed replacing was done. It also has brand new engine engine mounts all the way around and an IPD upper and lower polly torque mount. I also installed a turbo back custom made 3" exhaust. Yes full 3" not the usual 2.5" catback. I also installed the new four piston Brembo brakes pads and new 330 MM S60R rotors. I also bought a set of brand new Volvo 17" Pegasus rims and had them painted gun metal grey. I also installed Bilstein HD struts on all four corners with rare Apex springs with a 1.6 drop on all fours. I also put in a Ipd rear sway bar to give it some oversteer. I don't have the front bar. At that time I also put in all new suspension mounts sway bar end links and rear trailing arm links. I also replaced the front control arms and inner and outer tie rods. I also put in the volcano interior that I stumbled upon in a random junk yard. They only made this interior in 2004 and it is extremely rare! I also I stalled a V70R blue instrument cluster. The mileage is correct because I only swapped the blue faceplate into my original cluster. I also added the Kenwood DNX 9140 navigation Bluetooth iPod head unit. I also added the surround speaker with its own amp. Yes the head unit supports 5.1 Dolby surround. I also added a Kenwood 1000watt amp for the upgraded Boston acoustic slim mount Subwoofers installed in their stock locations. As you already know there is a stock 400 watt alpine amp that powers the rest of the midrange speakers stock from the factory. I also put Dynomat on the entire floor because the heater core blew up and soaked the original padding. Yea i replaced the heater core with a brand new Volvo part. I also installed a brand new Volvo V70R front bumper fogs and grilles. I even took the fogs apart to paint the inner bezels black to match the upgraded headlight housings. Both the fogs and low beam headlights are xenon gas discharge lights. As I have been driving this car daily I have addresses every problem that has come up immediately so there is a lot of things I have fixed that I forgot about over the past few years. Every electric option works 100% windows heated seats lighting convertible top ect... The windows have a 5% tint and the tail lights and marker lights have been sprayed with tint then clearcoated and wet sanded to give it the shiny finish. The body does have its dings and scratches but no major problems or body damage. Although the convertible top works flawlessly it does show signs of age. The back window had to be glued in and there are a few wear patches on the canvas surface. The top does not leak and the weather stripping is good. I did all this to the car when it had 148K and it now has 178K. This is mostly highway miles because of my 100 mile daily comute and frequent trips to vermont and new hampshire. I just replaced the front pads last month and turned the rotors. Please email me with any questions or if you want to see the car in person.

Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO
Tue, 14 Jan 2014This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
Volvo developing new three-cylinder engine family
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Pop the hood on a Volvo of recent vintage and you'll find four-, five-, six- and even eight-cylinder engines. But the Swedish automaker is downsizing its engines over the coming years. The new XC90, set to be revealed later this week, will use a new family of four-cylinder engines (like the one pictured above). But that's not even the end of it as emerging reports speak of a new three-cylinder engine family in the works.
The new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine will, according to reports, help Volvo further cut its carbon emissions in line with constricting regulations in markets like Europe and Australia. There won't be quite as many versions as the four-cylinder range, which will include gasoline and diesel versions in varying states of tune, but the three-pot motor is tipped to be employed in vehicles as large as the S60 and its stablemates. Larger than that, however, and the three-cylinder engine apparently just doesn't have the necessary torque.
Expect the new three-cylinder engine to be introduced sometime later this decade, after the four-cylinder's introduction in 2016. The three-cylinder engine is also set to form the building block of an even more efficient hybrid propulsion system in the future, enabling this new engine family to stay relevant through 2025.
Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.
