Volvo C30 R-Design Facelift
advertisement
Volvo has unveiled the first images and details of the new Volvo C30 R-Design facelift. The Volvo C30 R-Design chassis builds further on the success of the sport chassis introduced in the Volvo S80 earlier in 2009.
The chassis of the R-Design has been modified in several areas in order to meet high standards. The steering is more precise thanks to the stiffer bushings.
The spring stiffness has been increased by no less than 30 % and the dampers are also stiffer due to the use of mono-tube type dampers that build up pressure much more quickly. With the new springs and dampers, the car ride height has been reduced by 10 mm. Volvo also installed stiffer roll stabilizers.
At the exterior, The Volvo C30 R-Design is fitted with a redesigned front and rear bodykit. The car stands on 17-inch five-spoke Cratus wheels. The C30 R-Design is available in seven exterior body colors.
Inside, the R-Design features new black upholstery as an alternative.
