Last year was good for Volvo racing

DUBAI - The year 2003 has been a great year for Volvo as its S60 Race car proved its performance capabilities as a formidable force on the European circuit. The significant Scandinavian win was very satisfying as it was achieved in the heartland of the German automotive industry on a circuit rich in racing history.

Mr Markus Matzak, regional marketing director, Volvo Car Overseas-GCC, said: "It is excellent that the S60 Race Car is clearly showing the racing world what it is capable of.The S60 Race car is a hybrid of the S60 production car which is fabulous performance car in its own right.'' The flagship of the S60 range, the 300bhp S60 R, features one of the most advanced active performance suspension system in the world and the S60 sport, a specially designed S60 with sports kit to highlight the horsepower of this sporty saloon was introduced in the Middle East last year. The 300 bhp S60 also features a unique active performance chassis and Volvo's Four-C technology concept with three settings, adjustable at the touch of a button. With just a push of a button, the ultimate performance car changes to a relaxing family car. The S60 R (300bhp), S60 Sport, S60 T5 (250bhp) and S60 2.5 T(210bhp) are available from Volvo showrooms across the AGCC.
