Get ready for the all new 2011 Volvo S60

Get ready for the all new 2011 Volvo S60

We’ve been waiting as patiently as possible for the new Chicago S60.  This mid size sedan is all new for the car year of 2011.  It comes equipped with many great features.  Let’s take a look!

Volvo has been promising a sporty sedan for awhile now.  In fact, there have been some past models that have done well in the “sport” category, such as the PV.  Now, it looks like the 2011 S60 might just be the sporty ticket they’ve been looking for.  Although, when you look at it, it doesn’t jump out at you and say, “I’m a sports car”, but there are some features that elude to that.  For example, when you take this attractive sedan around around a nice corner it does very well.  This is thanks to the corner traction control system that keeps the front of the car from “washing out”.  The engine is also designed to produce 300 HP, which is a good indication of a car that’s able to get around with some spunk!  Continue Reading…

Bansasine designed this four door coupe during his time at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center.  This is the same place where the used xc90 Chicago, S80 and S60 came to life.  Great work has truly come out of these walls! Continue Reading…
