Press Release
Early in the spring, German company Heico Sportive, based outside Frankfurt, presented a very different idea for Volvo Cars as to how an existing Volvo S80 could be given a completely different look.
The goal was to create something daring and sporty at the same time as wanting to display a car with a really powerful engine that also radiates a genuine feeling of luxury.
And Volvo Cars really loved Heico’s plans, which suddenly meant that what had previously just been a wild idea, was to become a real show car at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
In just 3 months, but at an amazingly high pace, they succeeded here in Germany with the task of transforming a completely normal Volvo S 80 into something that has now become an S 80 performance with a very unusual aluminum look and what’s more, a bio-ethanol engine with 350 brake horse power.
For Volvo Cars this has been a really exciting way of developing an existing model into something completely new.
