This is the real volvo S60R - not an "R Design".  The S60R was produced from 2004-2007 and was a very limited production vehicle designed to compete against the German high-performance special editions such as the Audi S4 and BMW M3.  I owned a 2005 S60R until recently, and my retired parents liked it so much they decided to get their own - which is the 2007 S60R I am selling here.  This car was optioned with Passion Red paint and the special R-model-only Nordkap full soft leather sport seats.  This S60R came factory equipped with a 300hp turbo 5-cyl engine, 6-speed automatic transmission with geartronic and all-wheel-drive, "Four C" active suspension with comfort, sport, and advanced modes, Brembo 4-piston brakes, and bi-xenon headlamps.  It includes power windows, locks, and seats, has a compass in the rear-view mirror, a homelink transmitter in the sunshade, and has both driver and passenger front, side, and head protection side airbags.  This car was optioned with the Climate Package (heated front seats & rain sensing wipers), Navigation System, Premium Package (power glass moonroof, Dolby in-dash 6 disc premium stereo with surround sound), Interior Air Quality System, 18" Pegasus wheels, and the Sport Body Package.  The window sticker price was $49,240  (The original sticker comes with the car.)


My dad added an Evolve (now called "Elevate" since Volvo made them change their name) performance package which included an ECU programming (raising boost from 13psi to 18psi), an "air management system", 3.5" downpipe, and 3.5" performance exhaust at a cost of $3,500.  The car hasn't been dyno'd, but the hp increase is very noticeable.  The car also includes an extra set of IPD Pegasus 18" wheels with Continental Extreme Contact all-season tires with lots of tread, as well as the OEM Pegasus 18" wheels with Eagle F1 summer tires with plenty of tread.

This car was the baby of my retired parents.  By the condition and the low miles it's obvious that this wasn't some boy racer's plaything.  They washed it by hand very frequently, and enjoyed it on multiple trips up to Northern Wisconsin and out to the East Coast.  My dad took the car on the track at Road America once during the speed-limited lunchtime spectator touring sessions behind a pace car, and that was the extent of its use beyond normal driving with the wife alongside.  The car was serviced at an area Volvo dealer and also at a local shop that specialized in vintage, collector, and race cars.  Mobil 1 synthetic was used for any oil changes not performed by the dealer.

The Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value for the car is $16,296.  I have the reserve set below the KBB value.  Please feel free to ask me any questions, and good luck bidding!

$500 PayPal deposit required within 24 hours of winning bid, cash or cashier's check required for remainder.  Car is for sale locally and right to cancel auction at any time is reserved.

Volvo finds a way to turn body panels into batteries [w/video]

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

One of the problems with designing an electric vehicle is figuring out where to fit the battery pack. Volvo - as a part of a European Union research project - is working on a way around this issue by replacing standard parts with lightweight components that double as batteries on both conventional and plug-in vehicles. The image above shows one such piece on a Volvo S80. While looking like nothing more than a carbon fiber plenum cover, the piece is actually a battery pack that can store and supply enough energy for the car's entire 12-volt power system.
The parts are made by sandwiching super capacitors (which can charge faster than standard batteries) in between layers of carbon fiber. They can then be formed to replace numerous body panels such as the decklid, roof or door panels. Volvo says that the replacing the body panels and batteries with these nano batteries can help reduce the vehicle's weight by as much as 15 percent. It has taken more than three years just to design the batteries, so there's no telling when, or if, we'll ever see this technology used on a production vehicle. Scroll down for a video and press release on Volvo's innovative battery technology.

Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus

Fri, Mar 20 2020

More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.
