Amerikaanse Volvo-liefhebbers hebben iets om naar uit te kijken: de 2013 C30 Polestar Limited Edition. Polestar, de officiële motorsport-partner van Volvo, sleutelde wat aan de software en wist een extra 23 pk's uit de C30 te puren.
Eric Demurie, officieus 's werelds beste bedrijfsfotograaf, legde een deeltje van het creatieproces (wielmontage op Ergolijn) vast op de gevoelige plaat (...euh, sensor) van zijn Canon. Een prachtig beeld met een perfecte timing en dito belichting, net een pitstop tijdens een F1-race. Onze twee operatoren zijn net zo gefocust als de technici van Formule 1!
Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition
While the Volvo C30 has often been called the sportiest-looking Volvo, a new, limited-production version has been created for enthusiasts, the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
The excitement begins under the hood where the C30's standard 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine receives a healthy performance upgrade. Polestar, Volvo's official performance partner, provides performance software that boosts output by 23 horsepower and 37 lb.-ft. of torque to 250 hp and 273 lb.-ft. This power boost is realized by increasing airflow into the combustion chambers and advancing spark timing.
The visual magnetism of the C30 Polestar Limited Edition is enhanced with new 17-inch Styx Alloy Wheels with Matte Black Finish and Polestar badges on the rear and sides of the vehicle. To signify that this C30 is special, all 250 iterations will wear the new-for-2013 exterior hue of Rebel Blue and have a special interior numbered plate.
Inside, the C30 Polestar Limited Edition's sporty cabin is dressed with Premium Leather Seating Surfaces in a choice of Off-Black or two-tone Off-Black and Calcite. Standard features, equivalent to the Premier Plus trim level of the C30 T5 R-Design, include:
Power Glass Moonroof
Power Driver's Seat with 3-Position Memory
Power Front Passenger Seat
Loadcover, Soft
Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass
LED Daytime Running Lights
Keyless Drive
Active Dual Xenon Headlights
The C30 Polestar Limited Edition has a limited production of only 250 units, starting in early October. For more information, please contact your local Volvo dealer.
