[YoTa_BoX]

the first pic is of it stock. The other pics are what MR Sweden Motorsports did with the car!! looks really good to me. Not the fastest thing on 4 wheels but looks nice.

2008 Volvo C30 T5 2.0 Hatchback

The only modifications to the powertrain are a new sports air filter and a modified ECU, which sees power bumped up to 225hp from the standard car’s 185hp. Torque from the 2.4L motor is also improved with the final output rising to 432Nm. The 0-100km/h dash now takes 7.5 seconds and top speed stands at 225km/h.

[OTG Signs]

I've been looking at them. Power here is already 227hp.

[Sammich]

[Sammich]

[Magnus213]

I think that it looks pretty damn slick. Volvo's on a roll, the hardtop convertible (forget the numbers) is attractive as well.

Volvo has injected the C30 with shots of style and speed. While its face closely resembles that of the S40 and V50 with which it shares Ford's C1 platform, its sloping rear end bears a shape unique to modern Volvos. With a length of 167.4 inches (8.5 inches shorter than an S40) and a wheelbase of 103.9 inches (identical to S40), the C30 sports short overhangs and an aggressive, fast-forward stance.

The C30 utilizes the S40 T5's powertrain--a 2.5-liter 218-horsepower turbocharged inline-5 and a six-speed manual (a five-speed automatic will be optional)--and front McPherson strut/rear multilink suspension, which has been firmed up with stiffer springs and dampers.

Other than an occasional jar from the suspension of our test car, which had the sport suspension and 18-inch alloys, the C30 felt nearly perfect for its intended segment. Project leader Hakan Abrahamsson said his goal with the C30's chassis was to "make it firmer, sharper, sportier, and flatter" than the S40's, and he managed to hit every one of his goals. The C30 is the sharpest tool in Volvo's shed.

The C30 is capable of 0 to 60 mph in a brisk 6.2 seconds, according to Volvo, with the quarter-mile coming in under 15 seconds at around 95 mph. While the C30 could use a raspier exhaust note--our tester's was virtually silent--it doesn't suffer from turbo lag, a balky shifter, or a flimsy structure. In fact, the duration from throttle tip-in to full boost is minimal; the shifter is fluid, if a tad rubbery; and the structure, according to Abrahamsson, is stiffer than the S40's.

[BKgen®]

[Alan®]

[KPowerEP3]

These caught my eye from the first time I saw them....I really wish I could afford one of these.

[GTScoob]

Hmm I might need to go to a volvo dealership and test drive one of these.

[Thighs]

wtf why havent i seen one?

[BlkCD5]

looks nice, but by the looks of the tailgate, i'd be worried if someone rear ends the **** out of me.

[Boosted S60R]

here's a highly modded one.

[Boosted S60R]

a few more pics of it.I also think the only think they did wrong on this car was they left the front bumper like that.The car looks unfinished. And a picture of my old daily driver that I am trying to sell. Its a pretty modded 95 850 T5R.

[KPowerEP3]

I absolutely love the cars EVOLVE puts out. They really know how to make a swedish safety mobile into some hotness.

[BKgen®]

from the top it looks like an Insight

[YoTa_BoX]

Ya the front bumper looks odd on that car... if you put the bumper off that MR car i think it would go really well!!! good find btw on another modded one!!! if im seeing right those are exhaust pipes at each tail light...and if im right that is truly bad ass!!!!

[YoTa_BoX]

Oh and Boosted S60R if i had the money i would buy your 850 !!! i love those cars so muches!!!
