Video: Heico Sportiv Volvo C30 & S80
Sema Show: Volvo C30 by Heico Sportiv
Volvo has made a habit out of previewing supped up versions at SEMA the past few years and the 2007 show won’t be an exception. Alongside the bioethanol powered S80 that we showed you earlier today, the Swedes will introduce a special version of the all-new C30 2.5T hatch. Developed in cooperation with Volvo tuning specialist Heico Sportiv, the C30 features a beefy bodykit along with queer surf-inspired stickers and 19-inch alloy wheels with 235/35R19 Continental tyres. As you might have guessed, the folks over at Heico Sportiv took a look at the C30’s turbocharged 5-cylinder 2,5-liter engine that normally produces 220 Hp and they decided that it wasn't enough. The result is an upgraded unit that produces 300 Hp helping the C30 accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds. -Press release and image gallery after the jump

Volvo S80 High Performance version flexes its muscles at SEMA in
German tuning and motor sport experts Heico Sportiv has developed a spectacular high-performance version of the Volvo S80.
With a high-tech aluminium-look exterior and a 350 hp bioethanol engine, the S80 High Performance Concept is destined to be a true attention-grabber at the SEMA show in
"We wanted to explore how far we could take a special high-performance version of the S80. Heico Sportiv's impressive track record in motor sports and Volvo tuning made them the perfect partner for the job," says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Brand, Business and Product Strategy at Volvo Cars. He adds:
"Personally, I think the result is absolutely stunning. Both when it comes to the exterior and interior design as well as the impressive muscle under the bonnet."
The turbocharged T6 engine has been modified to run on E85 (85 percent bioethanol,15 percent petrol) - a biofuel that is becoming increasingly widely available throughout
The T6 engine in the Heico S80 High Performance Concept boasts around 350 horsepower at 5500 rpm and a massive 550 Nm of torque between 1500 and 4000 rpm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h will take around 5.8 seconds.

The specially developed 20-inch VOLUTION®X. forged alloy wheels are shod with 255/30R20 tyres from Continental.
"When it comes to the driving experience, we aimed at tuning all the components so we get a dynamic yet harmonious result. In other words, a true sports car experience without losing the luxurious and comfortable touch that is the hallmark of the S80," says Holger Hedtke.
Spectacular aluminium-colour effect
The exclusive aluminium metal-effect colour of the Heico S80 High Performance Concept radiates a distinctive technical look. "To bring out the shiny, "real metal" effect was a major challenge. This type of paint is normally not used to cover a whole car. All told, the bodywork features seven coats of paint. The coat that gives the aluminium effect doesn't allow any touch-ups afterwards, so you have to get it right from the beginning. The whole process takes two weeks," says Holger Hedtke.
All other parts, such as the tailpipe trim, window mouldings, front grill and rub strips are coated with matte finish black chrome. All body parts are handcrafted. The car's body kit has redesigned wide skirts all round. The front features integrated spoiler flaps, three larger air ducts, integrated LED daytime running lights and an integrated sport grille with the Volvo iron mark.The exhaust system is made of stainless steel throughout and the exhaust tailpipes are integrated into the wide rear spoiler. There is also a rear deck spoiler.
Mystic Blue interior
The bespoke interior has full high-quality leather in Mystic Blue with matching blue stitching and Heico Sportiv logo, both on the sport-contoured front seats and the two individual "bucket" seats in the rear. The safety belts and floor-mats are also blue.

According to Volvo, the cars destined for Las Vegas are a high performance S80 wearing a heavily tuned bioethanol powered turbocharged 6-cylinder unit and a C30 that features a flower power exterior (that’s exactly how the Swedes describe it) and an intriguing custom interior.
