Just in time

The Volvo V70 will be on offer with additional, smaller engines by the time it officially launches through Volvo, but Heico Sportiv just adds some more power to the new V70. The car is not yet at dealerships and Heico has an entire program for the Volvo enthousiast already.

A power upgrade for the 2.4D (163 bhp) and D5 (185 bhp) engines is available and boosts power to 210 bhp with 460Nm torque thanks to an ECU upgrade giving it a 0-100 km/h time of just 7.6 seconds. Heico also replaces the exhaust system with a stainless steel twin-outlet exhaust with 120x76mm oval tips. The T6 model has its own exhaust system available with modified silencer and four chrome endpipes in 76mm diameter.

You can have your choice of 18, 19 or 20 inch 5 spoke Heico Volution V wheels or 18 inch 10 spoke Volution X wheels. The wheels sit under new sport springs which lower the car by some 30mm, but Heico is busy at work on a sport suspension kit which should be ready in about 2 months.
