Volvo C70

The Volvo C70 was available with both low-pressure and high-pressure, 5-cylinder, turbocharged engines and manual and automatic transmissions. Although visually based on the 850, it was actually engineered by Tom Walkinshaw Racing and was a breakthrough design for Peter Horbury. Since the Volvo 780 coupe went out of production in 1990, Volvo lacked a true competitor to Saab's 900/9-3 coupe/convertible, and likely lost sales to Saab to customers desiring a Swedish sports car.

The new C70 model will be launched on 13 April 2006, sharing the plaform of the S40. This vehicle, designed by John Kinsey and built by Pininfarina, features a three piece retractable metal hardtop rather than a traditional soft convertible top. The top can raise or lower in less than 30 seconds. A coupe will no longer be offered. For the first time, the C70 will use atmospheric gasoline engines, as well as Diesel engines with variable geometry turbine and common-rail direct injection.
