First at HEICO SPORTIV. The new C30.

The top attraction is the HEICO HS3 D5, based on the new Volvo C30. This compact sports car is presented in hall 3 (stand 124) at the Continental Tire booth, and features a stunning body kit with front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts, and fender flares. Fully filled wheel openings feature 8.5x20" VOLUTION® V. wheels in HEICO's new "Titan" paint finish. The extensive program for the C30 also includes a height-adjustable suspension kit, 4-tip stainless steel exhaust, 4-piston sports brake kit, and a series of interior accessories, including a pedal set, foot rest, hand-brake lever, and door pins, all in aluminum. Even more luxurious: seats and door panels in high-quality two-tone hides.

Beyond the comforts of life, the HS3 D5 has power! The 5-cylinder diesel produces 400 Nm (stock 350 Nm) and produces 205 hp instead 180 hp in stock form. That's enough for 0-100 km/h acceleration runs in 7,9 sec. and a maximum speed close to 230 km/h. All HEICO SPORTIV products for the Volvo C30 will be commercially available starting in 2007.

It's all show and no go - 0-100 takes 7.9 seconds with it's relatively small 205hp. I like the ride height an even the wheels, but the bodykit ruins the look of the C30. Not so sure about red on this car either...

Ugh, they've ruined it - the bodykit is a bit too much (those outer front air intake just scream Audi), and that red really doesn't suit it.

it looks like a Renault5 from the back angle, anyone else think so? But its a Volvo and I love it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Oh, I think it looks cool.

Pity the performance doesn't back up the wicked looks.

That one's alright! images/smilies/smile.gif

Only major problem I've got with the C30 in general is that I saw it in a TV report two weeks ago and couldn't stop thinking "Damn, that back looks fat for such a mere small car" Hopefully it'll be a little bit better in reality.

the audi look is a bit overdone

klutch · November 30th, 2006, 03:14 PM

Christ, I just posted in that VW Tuaregeadogogo thread about all these agressive-looking cars with no performance to back it up...and then I see this.

It nice looking...the front screems audi though.

pfrocker · December 1st, 2006, 02:48 AM

I'll take the stock version

too much show. show is being overdone these days, let's see some originality by keeping something original. I mean go ahead and lower it with rims and tune the engine, but it was designed to look a certain way for areodynamic purposes and such. leave it be.

all that extra weight for no reason.

I'll take stock T5 model instead, thank you.
