Default Yes, they're Volvos - but not as you know them

Yes, they're Volvos - but not as you know them, the all new Volvo-USA version launched at the SEMA 2005, Las Vegas. (editorial by motoring.iol.co.za)

November 4, 2005



Las Vegas, Nevada - Volvo US has revealed two startling concept cars at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association (Sema) trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada to continue a trend established in recent years.

The two vehicles explore opposite ends of the automotive spectrum in terms of how far vehicle design can go.

Painted a glittering saffron reminiscent of a desert sunset, the XC70 All Terrain takes the production Volvo XC70 to the off-road extreme. The second car, a T6 Roadster, takes Volvo to the drag strip with its 1930's'inspired body, wide tyres and low beltline.

Here?s more about them?

XC70 All Terrain

The XC70 AT, Volvo says, was inspired by the legendary, tough, off-road Baja race. It has the 2.5-litre, five-cylinder turbo engine normally found in the high-performance V70 R but where the V70 R makes an impressive 225kW the AT, with a Garrett GT2835R turbocharger and ipd/MTE Stage III software upgrade makes just over 300kW at 6200 rpm.

Keeping the hot-blooded engine cool is an Aquamist in-cylinder intercooling system and an extra large, top-mounted intercooler. Low restriction, three-inch stainless-steel exhaust pipes make the music.

The AT uses the same six-speed automatic transmission standard in the XC90 V8 (available in the USA) and the 2006 V70 R to handle the engine's amazing 540Nm and it drives through a Haldex 4x4 system with "Instant Traction".

The XC70 AT takes Volvo's Four-C active chassis to another level with a custom, fully independent air suspension that has 10cm of adjustability via dash-mounted buttons. Add in a lift kit and the XC70 AT can ride up 20cm higher than the standard production Volvo XC70.

Additional accessories include a 1kW generator, a high-lift jack, jerry can and tyre and remote exterior battery terminal connections.
