2009 Volvo V70 With R-Design Package

From May 2008, the new V70 estate car becomes the fifth Volvo model to be offered with the Swedish carmaker’s sporty factory-fitted R-Design option pack. The refined V70 R-Design package combines a specially tuned lowered sports chassis with more distinctive styling.

Exterior-wise, the R-Design pack ads door mirror housings and grille detailing in silver finish, chrome exhaust tailpipe, a color coordinated rear spoiler and specially designed 18-inch aluminum wheels.

Inside the car, there are leather seats in off-black and cream embossed with the R-DESIGN logo, a leather steering wheel and unique aluminum interior trim, including sports pedals and center stack. The new instrument dials with blue inserts and sports gearlever complete the look. -Continued

As for the chassis, it has been optimised with the help of features such as stiffer anti-roll bars and bushings, and a lower ground clearance (20mm at the front, 15mm at the rear) for more direct road contact to deliver more responsive and rewarding steering feedback.
