2011 Volvo C70



THE BRAND NEW 2011 VOLVO C70 IS HERE!!!!





  The new Volvo C70 launched at the
Frankfurt  Motor Show in mid-September
has the same  smart three-piece steel
roof, practical seating  for four adults
and world-leading convertible safety
as before. With an updated design
and   elevated premium feel, the C70
also delivers an "I want" aura of
absolute world class.








The Volvo C70 is in actual fact two attractive cars in one. It
is as muchan elegant coupe as it is a sporty convertible. With
the same gentle, clean lines in both versions. Above all,
however, the Volvo C70 is a car to enjoy. For people who
reward themselves with the best in life.

"The Volvo C70 has classic convertible lines and a strong identity
of its own. What we have done is to carefully redesign the front
and rear so they harmonise more with both today's and
tomorrow's Volvo models. We have also increased the
exclusiveness of the materials and trim details to enhance
the atmosphere of luxury and enjoyment inside the car,"
explains Fedde Talsma, Exterior Chief Designer at Volvo Cars.

                     





With its new front, the Volvo C70 reveals
traces of the S60 Concept Car that was
unveiled in early 2009.Thereby the C70 is
upgraded to relate more closely to the
design language of the larger cars in the
Volvo model range. Bodywork details such
as the front wings have also been
redesigned, contributing to the decidedly
altered appearance. The nose is more
wedge-shaped and has been given added
three-dimensional depth by moving some
elements of the front both longitudinally
and vertically. The new headlamps and the
décor around the foglamps, for instance,
have been angled offset up and to
the rear, at the same time as the detailing
of the lower grille has been enhanced.









From head-on, the front forms an open, inviting "V".
The enlarged iron mark and the new, larger air intake
reinforce the self-assured stance. Owners who want to be
seen even more can specify a dramatic new red color,
Flamenco Red Pearl.










"The new C70 has a clearer, more pronounced
face. The car's natural elegance has been
modernized soit blends seamlessly with the
most up-to-date, the most sophisticated
backdrops," says Fedde Talsma.










The Volvo C70 transforms smoothly from a cozy coupe into an open convertible.
Just press a button and the three-part steel roof folds quickly and silently away,
disappearing neatly into the boot.
World-leading safety among
convertibles
 Protection in roll-over accidents Unique door-mounted inflatable curtain
The new Volvo C70 has been engineered as one of
the safestconvertibles on the market, as regards both preventive and protectivesafety. The car has an advanced body structure and several solutionsthat are unique in the world of open cars. The lack of a fixed roof hasbeen compensated by structural
reinforcements and sophisticatedtechnology.		 The Volvo C70 has sturdy metal hoops that shoot up behind the rear seatpassengers to create added protective survival space should the carroll over.
 These hoops, which are part of Volvo's Rollover ProtectionSystem - ROPS - are activated by a gyro-sensor. Since the Volvo C70 hasa proper glass
rear window, the hoops shoot up through the glass
if theroof is up. They have therefore been fitted with small hardened metalspikes that break the glass to guarantee proper protective function.		 One important part of the side-impact and rollover protection is the inflatable curtain, IC, which is installed in the door since there is no roof rail in which to fit it.
The curtain has an extra-stiff design featuring twin rows of panels that are offset somewhat in relation to one another. As a result, the curtain can remain upright and help protect the head in an effective way even if the window is open. What is more, the curtain deflates slowly, helping to provide added protection should the car roll over.
 
Side-impact airbags and safety belt pre-tensioners for all seats
In addition to the inflatable curtains on either side, the front seat occupants also have side-impact airbags. The size of these bags is dimensioned to shield
both the chest and hips. What is more, the inflatable curtain interacts with the belt pre-tensioners to contribute to the best possible protection for front seat
occupants in a side impact or rollover situation. All four seats come with safety belt pre-tensioners.


The interior has been updated in several respects to create a unique ambiance in the Volvo C70. The instrument panel has been
redesigned, giving it a wider, sleeker look and the surface of the panel has a new texture that enhances the feeling of quality.
The exclusive new instruments, with gauges and graphics specific to the C70, are yet another example of how the car's premium
feel has been emphasized still further. "We've focused the new interior features around the driver to give the owner a stronger
perception of being rewarded behind the wheel. The seats are upholstered in a new type of soft hide and there is even better
detail finish to make driving a more pleasurable experience than ever before," continues Fedde Talsma.


EXCLUSIVE NEW REAR DESIGN!
The exclusive high-tech LED lamps, of the same type as found on
the Volvo XC60, are the most noticeable update at the rear. The
entire lamp unit is clearly integrated with the oval that
frames the new C70's rear panel.

As at the front, new lines and details in the bumper and elsewhere
have been integrated to emphasise the depth and dynamism
of the design language.
