For the first time, HEICO SPORTIV will be exhibiting at the Geneva Motor Show in cooperation with Volvo Automobile (Schweiz) AG, where it will be presenting the new edition of the Volvo C70.
The new Volvo is a vehicle of many qualities. An exhilarating coupé and smart convertible in one, it's Scandinavian elegance targets highly discerning people placing maximum demands on design and individuality.
HEICO SPORTIV is broadening the comprehensive mass production portfolio, offering some very eye-catching icing on the cake. "Our program kicks in where Volvo's leaves off. It's characterized by supplementation rather than substitution," explains HEICO SPORTIV General Manager, Holger Hedtke.
Uncompromising in functionality and design
A credo with which HEICO SPORTIV has dedicated itself to the Volvo C70. The front spoiler forged in flexible, lightweight polyurethane plastic (PUR) dissolves into the profile like an OEM element, providing for the distinctively sporty but unobtrusive look. Unmistakable, evocative forms take up again at the rear, where the diffuser and stainless steel exhaust system with four round chrome plated end pipes form a single, harmonious unit. Sound included!
While the convertible sets the tone for relaxed cruising, the coupé morphs into a true cornering artiste on winding country lanes. HEICO SPORTIV's chassis development addresses both penchants, offering sport springs or the firmer sport suspension - depending on gusto. Either option lowers the chassis by 30 millimeters, the sunk center of gravity providing for optimized handling.
The "Driving Package" is rounded off by the HEICO SPORTIV 9x20 inch forged wheel set VOLUTION® X. The forged wheel has a 15 - 20% weight advantage over the cast wheel and is the exclusive, crowning glory of the HEICO SPORTIV VOLUTION® sport wheel program from 18 inches upwards.
For those with an attentiveness to craftsmanship and timeless design
HEICO SPORTIV also sets new highlights when it comes to the interior fittings of the Volvo C70. With perfect craftsmanship, finest quality leather was set and worked with a sure taste for style on the dashboard, door trims and cover profile of the metal convertible roof. "Our goal was to retain the Volvo C70's traditional character, while further enhancing its emotional potential," explains Holger Hedtke.
Design cooperation with THONET, the world's oldest globally celebrated furniture brand
One exclusive highlight is a filigree wooden gear shift lever - the pioneering result of a new joint venture with THONET. Through its weightlessness, the rolling, classy walnut sculpture emphasizes the use of form of the freely floating central console. The limited-edition wooden gearshift lever is hand made in an elaborate, multistage process.
Product summary:
premiere of the Volvo C70 by HEICO SPORTIV will be on display at the exclusive "Volvo S60 Lounge" at the Hotel Crowne Plaza, directly next to the Motor Show's Palexpo exhibition hall.
