Volvo Launches Limited Edition C30 R-Design

To celebrate the C30's introductory year, Volvo has announced that it will offer limited edition version of its sport hatch in the US market. Only 400 C30 R-Design 2.5 Turbo vehicles have been earmarked for 2008 model year production which accounts to about one car for each Volvo retailer in the States.

The C30 R-Design’s unique exterior features include a matte-silver finish for the outside mirror housings, front grille surround, Volvo grille "strap, sport body kit, tailgate spoiler and large diameter exhaust tips. Customers can select from four exterior colors: Black Sapphire, Titanium Grey, Orinoco Blue and Passion Red. -Continued

Stepping inside the cabin, the C30 R-Design gets seats swathed with off-black Flex-tech while the cushions and backrests are trimmed in contrasting crème-colored leather. The R-Design logo is embossed neatly into the front bucket seatbacks. The C30 R-Design also sports a blue-face instrument cluster, leather-wrapped steering with aluminum inlays, sport pedals, sport shifter, and floor mats and a center console finished with a unique inlay with subtle circular patterns.

Pricing for the Volvo Limited Edition C30 R-Design 2.5 Turbo will be released closer to its introduction date in the second quarter of 2008.
