Finally the Volvo C30 R-Design has been announced! The car will be available in Mzansi in 2010 under the T5 model only. Which is fine; who wants to pimp a 1.6-litre C30 and for what?
Anyway the R-Design model as you can see, is quite different visually from all other C30s in the range. It has a roof-mounted spoiler, an exclusive monotone body kit, 17-inch wheels with 18-inch optional and chrome-plated exhaust pipes.
Inside we see a lot of blue which is an R-Design trait. And then there are two-tone seats, aluminium bits like the pedals and gear lever, as well as special floor mats among others.
Thank goodness there is also a slight performance advantage over normal the C30 T5 in that the suspension has been stiffened up a bit and the steering was made sharper. If ever there were two concerns with the C30 then the R-Design model has just addressed them.
Volvo SA has not said anything about prices yet but I can’t wait to see it on Mzansi roads in a few months’ time.
