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 planning Golf rival, 'breathtaking' C60 coupe

Wed, 01 May 2013

Despite just having refreshed nearly its entire portfolio, Volvo is still in the middle of a big product offensive. Vehicles like the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible have been given the axe, but a brand-new platform is being developed in addition to the Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA) that will underpin larger vehicles. According to Automobile, this means some very interesting newcomers may be on tap for the brand.
Volvo, in collaboration with Geely, is said to be working on a new platform about the size of a Volkswagen Golf that will likely spawn both a sedan and hatchback. Automobile reports that while the automaker's new scalable architecture is quite flexible, it cannot be stretched (or rather, shrunk) to accommodate a smaller vehicle.
Instead, SPA will be used for the company's larger offerings, starting with the V40 on the small end. (Though to our eyes, the current V40 looks plenty Golf-sized to us.) A new XC40 is apparently in the works, as is an S90 flagship, and new versions of the XC60, XC90 and S60 will all be coming based on this new flexible architecture.

Volvos will brake for bicyclists with new detection technology

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Anyone who pedals a bicycle knows that one of the biggest dangers to riders is a motorized vehicle - Volvo estimates that nearly 50 percent of all cyclists killed in European traffic have collided with a car. In the United States alone, 618 riders lost their lives in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes in 2010, and the number of injuries surpassed 52,000.
To help drop those numbers, Volvo has just announced Cyclist Detection with full auto brake - a technology that detects and automatically applies a vehicle's brakes when a cyclist swerves in front of a moving car. The basic components of the system include a radar unit integrated into the front grille, a camera fitted in front of the interior rear-view mirror and a central control unit. The radar is tasked with seeing obstacles in front of the vehicle and calculating distance, while the camera is responsible to determine what the object is. The central control unit, with rapid processing capabilities, monitors and evaluates the situation.
The technology, which will be sold bundled with its Pedestrian Detection and called Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, will automatically apply full braking when both the radar and camera confirm a pedestrian or cyclist are in the immediate path of the vehicle. According to the automaker, the technology will be offered on the Volvo V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 models from mid-May in 2013.

Tina Fey sits down with Seinfeld for new CiCGC

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Recently Jerry Seinfeld went out for a videotaped cup of coffee with Jay Leno in a vintage Gmund Porsche. Switching coasts and cars, this time New York's own son returns to his city for a jaunt in a 1967 Volvo 1800S with fellow New Yorker Tina Fey for the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The trip takes them uptown to Cuban coffee shop Floridita in Harlem, then back downtown to a pastry shop. On the way, Jerry calls out a photo shoot for using a fake Porsche, and Fey admits she doesn't have a driver's license. Driving cars, she says, "is like Twitter to me." Which she also doesn't do - she lasted seven tweets in 2009.
You can check out the episode below as they go in search of coffee, the rare guanabana/soursop juice, Jerry's even more elusive product placement and the last Cronut in NYC.
