Volvo releases a new performance line – C30 PCP Specs, Details and Price

by Sebastian Bivin

Volvo appears to be getting serious about offering performance-oriented automobiles. This time Volvo, in a closer relationship with Polestar (the racing outfit that fields the company’s entries in the Scandinavian and World Touring Car Championships), is preparing something new for us.

Their first collaborative project is tipped to be a production version of the baby-blue, 400-horsepower, all-wheel drive C30 hatchback unveiled last year.

This time Volvo is planning in the performance division to launch a new and powerful model of the C30. A Concept model has been already bulit to see the public interest towards this model.

The features of this Concept model is a four-wheel drive system, and it is boosted with a five-cylinder turbo engine with an output power of 399Bhp and an acceleration of 0 – 62mph [100 km/h] in less than five-seconds.

The production model will be wearing a new PCP badge (Performance Concept Prototype). If the project is approved then the production is limited to 500-units and it will be priced around £50,000.

Some other similar high-performance versions of Volvo’s other products would follow and wear the same nameplate, creating a subdivision for Volvo that would be equivalent to what Mercedes-Benz has in AMG and what BMW does with its M division.
