FIRST DRIVE: Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale – As Good As It Looks?

Volvo Ocean Race Edition - inspired by the sea


Tradition continues when, for the fourth time in its history, Volvo Cars' Special Vehicles Division launches a specially designed model range with a sail racing theme - the new Volvo Ocean Race edition.

Four Volvo Ocean Race Edition models - the Volvo V60, XC60, V70 and XC70 - will be launched in early March 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.

"The cars in the Volvo Ocean Race Edition reflect all the values that our customers look for when they choose a car: an active lifestyle, adventure and passion, without compromising safety and environmental care," says Lennart Stegland, President of the Special Vehicles division at Volvo Cars.

The Volvo Ocean Race Edition will reach dealers in June 2011 and Volvo Cars estimates to sell about 7,500 cars. The four largest markets are expected to be Germany, Sweden, Great Britain and Italy. Other markets outside Europe that will be involved in the race will also sell the cars.

Customers can choose between two luxurious exterior colours, Volvo Ocean Blue II or Electric Silver, in conjunction with the sail-inspired leather upholstery in off-black and soft beige.
Other features are the uniquely designed aluminium wheels, chromed detailing and the Volvo Ocean Race emblem gleaming on the front fender.
Inside the car, the seats and door panels feature an added level of craftsmanship. The load cover displays the Volvo Ocean Race logo in print with stitching and sheet detailing, there are textile floor mats with clew-inspired details in aluminium and the tread plate in aluminium is embossed with the text "Volvo Ocean Race". In addition, the HMI (Human Machine Interface) start-up display shows the Volvo Ocean Race logo and text.
