The new Volvo S60 by HEICO SPORTIV.

The new Volvo S60 is dynamic and sporty. The new Volvo S60 is not chivalrous, the new Volvo S60 is sexy. HEICO SPORTIV enhances the Volvo driv-ing experience, adding additional seasoning in the form of meticulously composed ingredients.

Even at a glance, it becomes immediately apparent that HEICO SPORTIV has just the right ingre-dients to stimulate all the observer's senses! The front view already indulges the onlooker with clear contours thanks to a two-part front spoiler.

"We've given the Volvo S60 the expressiveness which potential owners of such a dynamic vehicle crave for," explains HEICO SPORTIV General Manager, Holger Hedtke.

The front spoiler is mounted on the original bumper and melts seamlessly into the entirety of the Volvo S60's contours. The design element made of low-weight, flexible polyurethane plastic (PUR-R-RIM) fulfills the latest pedestrian protection guidelines.

At the back, the PUR-R-RIM rear skirt in diffusor look cites the form of a diffusor, faithfully enfolding the left and right oval end-pipes of the quad outlet exhaust system.

As an optional add-on, HEICO SPORTIV also offers a matching carbon inlay. For vehicles with the original rear skirt, a dual-pipe exhaust variant is available in the familiar "left-right arrangement".

Manifold innovation under the hood.
The essential ingredients, however, are the ECU upgrades offered by HEICO SPORTIV. With the D3/D5 diesel engines, these are implemented by reprogramming the engine control unit, with gasoline engines by means of e.motion.

HEICO SPORTIV e.motion stands for "efficiency in motion" and describes an additional engine control unit that, thanks to straightforward plug & play technology, can be quickly installed and enabled by any authorized HEICO SPORTIV partner - worldwide!

Thanks to e.motion, the Volvo S60 2.0T generates a colossal 47 bhp more than its series-produced counterpart (currently 250 bhp/184 kW) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm (additional 50 Nm).

In the 4-wheel drive version of the Volvo S60 T6, the engine power is boosted to 330 bhp (243 kW) and 460 Nm, allowing the top-of-the-range model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds (series version: 6.5 seconds) and reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h (electronically capped). Naturally, all HEICO SPORTIV ECU upgrades fulfill the rigorous Euro 5 emissions classification standard. Further tuning programs for the T3, T4 and T5 engine variants are under development.

Diversified menu to choose from.
HEICO SPORTIV sees itself as a fully integrated supplier able to fulfill the customer's every wish. The "S60 menu" is finished off with sport springs, the 18"-20" VOLUTION® sport wheel program and aluminum interior add-ons (pedal set, footrest and gear shift knob).

The products will be deliverable from the time of the official market launch on September 18, 2010.

km Wrote:Usually when a certain country's arm of the Volvo Car Corporation teams up with Heico Sportiv on a special edition vehicle, it's a car that's been on the market for a while and could use a sales boost. Such is not the case with Volvo of Germany's latest endeavor, a 100-unit run of Heico Sportiv S60s. This thing is brand spankin' new.

Other than a special plaque denoting each car as part of this S60 T6 Design by Heico Sportiv edition, the upgrades are essentially the same as those outlined when Heico announced its own list of aftermarket components last month. However, all 100 of these sedans will be painted sapphire black metallic, while ordering the parts individually from Heico allows an owner to select any offered paint color (but likely would cost more in the end.)

Every car will be the top-of-the line T6 model, using Heico's e.motion tuning program to produce an extra 30 hp over stock, or 330 horses. That translates to a 0-62 mph time of 5.8 seconds, while top speed remains limited to 155 mph. All T6 models use a six-speed automatic transmission.

The limited edition cars will also all use the wheel design seen here, finished matte black and measuring 19 inches in diameter. Pirelli summer tires come standard but four winter tires, this being Germany, are sold with the car as well. Heico Sportiv quad exhaust outlets fill out the company's own rear diffuser, while the front bodywork is enhanced by a two-part spoiler connected to the stock front fascia. Inside, Heico adds pedals, a shift knob, and a limited edition plate, all cut from aluminum. As far as Volvo's contribution to upgrades, the cars come basically fully loaded and bost 63,968 Euros, including VAT.
