“CARS ARE DRIVEN BY PEOPLE. THEREFORE, THE GUIDING
PRINCIPLE BEHIND EVERYTHING WE MAKE AT VOLVO, IS
– AND MUST REMAIN – SAFETY.”
ASSAR GABRIELSSON AND GUSTAF LARSON,
THE FOUNDERS OF VOLVO.
At Volvo, we have protected and celebrated life since 1927. During this
time we’ve learned a lot about people and cars. One of the things we’ve
discovered is that although safety is enhanced through the interaction of
sophisticated systems, it is most importantly the product of the relation-
ship between car and driver. This bond is where dynamic driving begins.
This insight has helped us to develop cars that are exhilarating to drive,
yet safer than ever before.
The Volvo S60 R and V70 R are two such cars – each designed to
provide the world’s most demanding drivers with a vehicle worthy of their
attention. In both instances, performance, safety and luxury are opportu-
nities – not impositions. Capability is ready and waiting, realized by the
technology and your driving desire. Volvo R is about making great perfor-
mance possible, and everyday motoring more enjoyable. Maybe that’s
why, even after all these years, we still find safety so exciting.R – FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY
Imagine sports car performance, poised for action – ready for the
moment you feel the urge to use it. This is the Volvo S60 R, a powerful
yet refined vehicle to fulfill every aspect of your driving desire.VOLVO S60 R
This is the original high performance wagon – the car that’s created
a category of its own. The Volvo V70 R provides thoroughbred perform-
ance while sacrificing none of the lifestyle embracing qualities you
expect from a Volvo.VOLVO V70 R

Three hundred horsepower. Two-hundred ninety-five foot pounds of
torque. Zero to hundred in less than six seconds*. These are some of
the numbers that will get your pulse racing when sitting at the wheel
of a Volvo R model. Now for some details …R-POWER
* With 6-speed manual.
ENGINE
The five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbocharged engine produces 300 hp at 5500 rpm andoffers 295 lbs./ft. of torque at 1950–5250 rpm. Using the manual transmission, thisis enough to take you from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds in the Volvo S60 R, or 5.9seconds in the Volvo V70 R. Continuously variable intake and exhaust valve timing(Dual CVVT) contribute to exhilarating performance throughout the entire range ofengine speeds, without compromising on exhaust emission controls. Dual chargeair coolers, dual fuel pumps, a two-section fuel tank and a racing-type oil pan roundoff a highly potent powerplant designed to handle the demands of serious driving.The engine is also highly refined – its stunning performance and willing surge ofpower provide a thrill in any driving situation.
TRANSMISSION
The close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox offers fast and precise shifting.Or, there’s a six-speed automatic with Geartronic that also offers high-performance shifting, especially if you select the Sport shifting mode.And because Geartronic allows you to shift gears manually, you can stay ina lower gear to rev the engine higher, or to provide added braking capacity.

BRAKES >
Brembo aluminum four-cylinder brake calipers grip the 330 mm ventilated discs toprovide high-performance braking in a wide range of driving conditions. Light alloycalipers aid heat dissipation to help maintain performance even after repeatedbraking. This, together with lightweight aluminum wheels, results in low unsprungweight – enhancing the car’s crisp and precise driving manners. For added security,EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) detects emergency braking and steps in tohelp reduce stopping distance.
AWD WITH INSTANT TRACTION™
Power is continuously distributed between the front and rear wheels by Volvo’snew pre-charged, electronically controlled, all-wheel drive system – AWD withInstant Traction™. The difference is noticeable the moment you take off – constanthydraulic pressure ensures that power is promptly directed to the wheels withthe best traction. Wheel spin is minimized to provide immediate acceleration andreassuring stability in slippery conditions.
During normal driving on straight and dry roads, the front wheels receive upto 95% of the power for optimum stability and fuel economy. As the situationdictates, up to 70% of the power is instantly distributed to the rear wheels ifnecessary, to provide maximum stability and traction. And when cornering, theAWD system instantly channels power where it’s needed most to provideconfident handling throughout the curve.
< STEERING
Quick and responsive steering is perhaps the most important link between road,car, and driver. Behind the wheel, you can enjoy communicative yet firm steeringthat provides progressively less power assistance as your speed increases, foroptimal highway stability. Exceptionally precise steering and balanced feedbackfrom the road are benefits you’ll always appreciate.
The Volvo S60 R and V70 R are the fastest cars we’ve ever built.
Advanced technologies interact to help put this power safely in your
hands. Sophisticated suspension systems, AWD with Instant Traction™,
close ratio steering and Brembo brakes all combine for an awe-
inspiring drive.R-CONTROL

Behind the handling characteristics of a Volvo R model, the Four-C
chassis system plays an integral role. This technology is designed to
utilize the car’s advanced chassis and AWD system to their greatest
potential. Whatever the road or the weather may have in store, an R
model makes every drive a pleasure. At the touch of a button the car’s
character will instantly change from taut, race-inspired handling to all-
day comfort – and back again. But regardless of the chassis mode you
choose, Four-C will continually adapt to your driving situation.R-HANDLING
= Shock absorber, maximum damping = Shock absorber, minimum damping
BRAKING
The moment you touch the brake pedal, power to therear wheels is reduced and the shock absorbers on allfour wheels are adjusted to prepare for optimal brakingperformance, minimum pitch, and firm road-holding tohelp bring you quickly and safely to a stop.
ACCELERATION
Instantly, more power is transferred to the rear wheelsand the rear shock absorbers stiffen to ensure optimaltake-off performance. This means 0 to 100 km/h within5.7 seconds for the Volvo S60 R, and 5.9 seconds forthe Volvo V70 R.
ENTERING A CURVE
As the car enters a curve, the Active PerformanceChassis responds by increasing the shock absorbers’stiffness on both sets of wheels to enhance bodycontrol. In order to keep your pace, the shock absorbersreconfigure to create a slight degree of oversteer.At the same time, more power is transferred to the rearwheels. As the car moves further into the curve, thestiffness of the front wheel shock absorbers is reduced.This helps compensate for any tendency to understeerand assists the driver in maintaining a balanced coursethroughout the curve.
COMFORT
When the road is slippery or uneven, whendriving in town, or when you just want a relaxedride. The Comfort chassis mode insulatesthe car’s occupants from bumps in the road.The system prioritizes flexible shock absorptionfor smooth and gentle body movement andexceptional ride comfort.
SPORT
For a firm but supple sports car feel. The systemprioritizes somewhat stiffer shock absorption andreacts faster than in Comfort mode. This results inreduced body movement and precise road behavior,combined with good riding comfort.
ADVANCED
The uncompromising chassis mode for maximumperformance, control, and traction on smooth roads.The chassis no longer irons out bumps, but conveysall road surface information directly to the driver.The system stiffens the shock absorbers to ensuremaximum contact between tire and road. Providingmaximum road-holding, this setting is ideal forhighway driving, or perhaps even on a track, forsituations when road grip has the highest priority.And when you’ve had your fun, comfort is only aclick away.
= Driving wheel, maximum traction = Driving wheel, minimum traction
MID-CURVE
At the apex of a curve, when the lateral forces are attheir greatest and you want the car to pull you out ofthe bend, power is fed to all four wheels – accordingto their level of traction – while the chassis minimizesroll and compensates for any tendencies to under orover-steer.
EXITING A CURVE
When you drive out of the curve, the system increasesboth shock absorber stiffness and power to the frontwheels – increasing stability.
DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD
Four-C continuously analyzes the car, road anddriver – instantly adjusting each shock absorber tosuit current conditions and prepare for what’s ahead.

R-SCIENCE
As you build up momentum, a number of natural forces take effect. The Four-C system analyzes body movement, speed, wheel movement, steering wheel position and otherparameters 500 times per second. Simultaneously, it adjusts each shock absorber for optimal handling and comfort. At the heart of the system is Volvo’s semi-active suspensionwith continuously controlled Monroe-Öhlins shock absorbers and the three dynamic chassis modes: Comfort, Sport and Advanced. The shock absorbers, AWD system, DSTCsystem, engine, brakes and steering all synthesize in an electronically controlled system – in response to your style of driving.

DSTC (DYNAMIC STABILITY AND TRACTION
CONTROL)
DSTC enhances driving stability on winding roadsand in slippery situations. By braking one or moreof the wheels and temporarily reducing the engine’spower, the system instantly helps to correct anytendency to skid – smoothly and efficiently.
WHIPS (WHIPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM)
Whiplash is one of the most common traffic injuries,often resulting from low-speed rear impacts. WHIPShelps reduce the risk of long-term whiplash injuries.Integrated into the front seat backrests, WHIPSsupports the spine and neck in a controlled manner,and is triggered by impacts of sufficient force frombehind.
BI-XENON
As darkness falls, you will appreciate the powerfuland effective low and high beams. Bi-Xenon head-lights offer you exceptionally broad, long, andpleasant beam of light in all conditions. Low beamheight is automatically adjusted to provide the bestpossible light pattern even when the car is heavilyloaded. Integrated front and rear side-marker lightsmake it easier for other road-users approachingfrom the side to see your car.
The chassis is a rigid structure that’s designed to resist the torsion
caused by an active drive down a winding road. Then there’s DSTC
and the other chassis technologies – all configured to help keep the
car on track. In the event of an accident, you and your passengers will
have the benefit of Volvo’s world-renowned protection. The safety cage
is designed to provide a protective barrier around the occupants, while
deformation zones and numerous interactive safety systems react to
the impact of a collision.R-SAFETY

Not surprisingly, the design of the R model is an integral part of its
performance. For instance: a deeper front spoiler provides 25% more
downward thrust, the air duct is enlarged to cool the 300 hp engine,
and bi-xenon headlights improve night vision. Furthermore, R-design
aluminum wheels help cool the brakes and maintain crisp handling, and
double sport tailpipes in stainless steel are an effective finish for the
free-flow parallel exhaust system. And on the Volvo S60 R, there’s a
subtle rear spoiler to reduce lift by 20%. No fuss, just efficient design
for road and track.R-DESIGN
“ GOOD DESIGN IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF STYLING THE SURFACE.
IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE PRODUCT EASY TO UNDERSTAND
AND USE. IF THE PRODUCT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, IT CAN’T BE BEAUTIFUL.”
