Rare Vovlo V70 R Wagon 4-door 2.5l 2004 on 2040-cars
Winter Park, Florida, United States
|
This Volvo V70 R is a very well taken care of station wagon, owned by the former general sales manager of the Volvo Store in Winter Park. Needless to say, this car has been maintained to the exacting standards of a Volvo Expert. The interior is in impeccable condition, and there are few V70 R's that have been preserved in such high condition. The V70 R comes equipped with Volvo's own 4C multi-mode suspension, allowing for both sport and comfortable suspension selections. The V70R will feel just as comfortable getting groceries as it will out on a track doing 120mph. Brembo Brakes are standard issue on ever V70R, because the 2.5L Turbocharged Straight 5 Engine was simply too powerful for standard brakes. The Wall Street Journal says that with "79% more power than the base V70 wagon, Its current V70 R is the fastest Volvo wagon yet. Our tester sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds -- a hair quicker than a Porsche Boxster. And on the practical side, it was the only car out of the five that could carry our TV box without requiring us to fold the rear seats first." "Seeking to lure speed-crazy guys with kids, car makers are trying to transform the dowdy old family hauler into something new: the manwagon. In perhaps the most extreme sign of the industry's horsepower race, some of these wagons are quicker than a Porsche Boxster. They have monstrous engines, giant brakes, track-ready suspensions and race-car-style seats -- plus prices up to $30,000 higher than the base versions. But unlike a sports car, these wagons can fit strollers and coolers in the back."
For more than 43 years, Noel's has been the reliable source for remanufactured Mercedes Benz longblock engines. *Picture of engines are photos of actual longblocks remanufactured at Noels. No advanced core charge, complimentary installation kit, and our 4-year or 50,000 mile warranty.
Noel's Rebuilt engines are built to maximize performance and longevity. All valves used in Noel's engines have under .0003" runout to increase compression, and create a smooth idle. Every engine is taken completely apart and inspected. All cranks at Noel's are standard, unground cranks. New rods are statically balanced by weight and must pass a straightness test of .001". New pistons are properly clearanced into the existing block and are matched to a replaced rod. Block and head decking is done to a perfect finish, and cams are polished into a "Racing Style" finish to decrease resistance. Many of our engines are built with parts that we have designed and fabricated ourselves to increase the longevity and horsepower output of our engines. The majority of our engines have tweaked cams that allow them to respond instantly and run smoothly in the low end. All seals within our longblocks are brand new, and every wear surface inside of the engine is pre-lubed so that after installation and insertion of oil into the engine, it will run in the original, pristine condition that it was manufactured to. It would be almost impossible to find a new factory engine with a lower leak down than our remanufactured engines. We do not use 'general' engine building techniques for our engines. Every engine that enters Noels has a specific set of problems that we have diagnosed, and we use our experience from building race engines to improve upon the failure points in every troubled engine. Many of our customers have said that "With a Noel Engine, My car runs BETTER than it was new!" Say goodbye to oil leaks, pesky electronic codes, and poor idling, and say hello to more horsepower in your car than ever before! We believe in taking the time to inspect new parts, and build the engine right the first time. Mercedes has New Mercedes has Reman |

Volvos will brake for bicyclists with new detection technology
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Anyone 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.
Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept
Thu, 20 Jun 2013A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.
Tesla poaches Volvo interior engineering boss Anders Bell
Tue, Dec 20 2016Tesla is the belle of both the eco-friendly and luxury balls. The company's Model S and Model X are status symbols, and benchmarks for the ability to blend both green credentials with performance and a luxury driving experience. That said, their cabins aren't necessarily deserving of those credentials. That's why this little news nugget is such a big deal for the California brand. Electrek reports that Tesla has poached Anders Bell from Volvo. Bell confirmed the move via his LinkedIn page. The (now former) head of interior engineering and senior director of engineering was responsible for the Swedish brand's raft of high-quality, beautifully crafted cabins. Doubtless Tesla wants a piece of the critical acclaim Volvo's received for the interior design and quality on its 90-series models – XC90, S90, and V90. The move is, at least based on Electrek's stalking of Bell's LinkedIn profile, a big loss for Volvo. Bell joined the Swedish brand fresh out of Halmstad College's engineering program in 1998 and has spent his entire career working for Gothenburg and its various owners. That included a nearly four-year stint in China after Geely bought Volvo from Ford, assisting with the Chinese launch of the XC60. Bell's listed his final project with his previous employer as "development, design, and release of Volvo interiors to be launched 2017-2018 and concept definitions of interiors 2019 and beyond." That means that while Bell started at Palo Alto this month, his impact at Volvo won't fade for several more years.
