ContinuedOur spy photographers have just snagged the first spy shots of the 2011 Volvo S60. Moreover, these photos were taken at a Volvo photo shoot, revealing the S60 with hardly any camouflage! The 2011 S60 made its debut as a thinly-veiled concept car at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. When Volvo launched its XC60, design chief Mattin said it marked a whole new styling direction for the company. Judging by the S60 spied today, that certainly appears to be the case. Mattin joined Volvo from Mercedes-Benz in 2005. At Mercedes, he was responsible for the design of the SLR McLaren and the new S-Class, among others.
In addition to a new design language, the new S60 seems to demonstrate Volvo?s desire to move toward more slender A- and C-pillars for increased visibility. Over the years, these structural supports have become much thicker on most vehicles for structural and styling purposes. Volvo seems to have kept the styling up to snuff, but no word on materials were used to keep up strength.
