2011 Volvo V60 tuned by Heico Sportiv review and pictures

Volvo V60 tuned by Heico Sportiv review:

For each taste: The new Volvo models S60 and V60.

Refined by HEICO SPORTIV.

World premiere for the new Volvo V60 by HEICO SPORTIV at the Essen Motor Show. On top HEICO SPORTIV shows the up to 330 HP strong version off the new Volvo S60. Even at a glance, it becomes immediately apparent that HEICO SPORTIV has just the right ingredients to stimulate all the observer’s senses! The front view already indulges the onlooker with clear contours thanks to a two-part front spoiler. "We’ve given the Volvo S60 and V60 the expressiveness which potential owners of such a dynamic vehicle crave for," explains HEICO SPORTIV General Manager, Holger Hedtke.

Uncompromising in functionality and design.

The front spoiler is mounted on the original bumper and melts seamlessly into the entirety of the Volvo S60 and V60’s contours. The design element made of low-weight, flexible polyurethane plastic (PUR-R-RIM) fulfills the latest pedestrian protection guidelines. At the back, the PUR-R-RIM rear skirt in diffusor look cites the form of a diffusor, faithfully enfolding the left and right oval end-pipes of the quad outlet exhaust system. As an optional add-on, HEICO SPORTIV also offers a matching carbon or alternative an inlay in stainless steel optic. For vehicles with the original rear skirt, a dual-pipe exhaust variant is available in the familiar “leftright arrangement”.

Manifold innovation under the hood.

The essential ingredients, however, are the ECU upgrades offered by HEICO SPORTIV. With the D3, D5 and D5 AWD diesel engines, these are implemented by reprogramming the engine control unit, with gasoline engines by means of e.motion. HEICO SPORTIV e.motion stands for “efficiency in motion” and describes an additional engine control unit that, thanks to straightforward “plug & play technology”, can be quickly installed and enabled by any authorized HEICO SPORTIV partner–worldwide! Thanks to e.motion, the Volvo S60 2.0T generates a colossal 47 bhp more than its seriesproduced counterpart (currently 250 bhp/184 kW) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm (additional 50 Nm). In the 4-wheel drive version of the Volvo S60 T6, the engine power is boosted to 330 bhp (243 kW) and 460 Nm, allowing the top-of-the-range model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds (series version: 6.5 seconds) and reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h (limited). Naturally, all HEICO SPORTIV ECU upgrades fulfill the rigorous Euro 5 emissions classification standard. Further tuning programs for the T3, T4 and T5 engine variants are under development. For those with an attentiveness to craftsmanship and timeless design. HEICO SPORTIV also sets new highlights when it comes to the interior. With perfect craftsmanship, finest quality leather was set and worked with a sure taste for style on the dashboard, door trims and the center console. Supplemented with aluminum add-ons like pedal set, footrest and gear shift knob.

Diversified menu to choose from.

HEICO SPORTIV sees itself as a fully integrated supplier able to fulfill the customer’s every wish. The menu is finished off with sport springs and the 18”-20” VOLUTION® sport wheel program.

The world premiere of the Volvo V60 by HEICO SPORTIV will be on display at the booth of Continental at the Essen Motor Show (26th November - 5th December 2010).
