Summary of Contents for Volvo C70 convertible

  • Page 2 Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Holland and France as the expected top markets. "It's no secret that it has taken us longer than planned to make the Volvo C70 convertible available to the European customers. So far, the convertible has only been available in the USA, but this spring the Uddevalla plant has gained enough capacity to make it available in Europe, too", says Bo Annvik, head of marketing at Volvo Cars Market Area...
  • Page 3 "The power and the sheer driving pleasure of the Volvo C70 coupe. Or the beauty and comfort of the Volvo C70 convertible. Well, it might not be the cars you need, but is definitely the cars that you desire..." 990501 HÅ...
  • Page 4 Helmer Mas-0lle, who presented a number of proposals for the way the first series-manufactured cars should be designed. The second open Volvo, the Volvo Sport from 1956, had a body made of plastic . The car was designed by the US company Glasspar, which pioneered fibreglass car bodies and boat hulls.
  • Page 5 However, a four-seater car which gives the impression of being a two-seater dramatically modifies that image. The C70 is sporty, elegant and different, while refining the identity of the Volvo brand name at the same time; a number of striking features, a mixture of innovation and tradition.

  • Page 7 The Volvo C70 convertible has a structure which is based on the Volvo S70 and has basically the same safety features, with the same high level of safety in frontal, rear and side impacts.
  • Page 8 The SIPS bag is fitted in the outer edge of the front-seat backrest and has long been standard on all Volvo models. Since it is integrated in the seat, the side airbag is always beside the occupant regardless of how the seat is adjusted, thus ensuring optimum protection.
  • Page 9 "If Volvo is going to build an open car, it has to be safe." The fact that the Volvo C70 convertible is the modern response to this challenge can be seen here. Flair, comfort and driving pleasure in an elegant, safe packaging.
  • Page 10 For accessibility and quality reasons, the best solution is to fit an advanced audio system when the car is built. The C70 convertible is equipped with no fewer than ten loudspeakers of different types in the standard version. Anyone who so wishes can specify a package with 12 or 13 speakers as an option.
  • Page 11 It is up to the customer to decide whether Bruce Springsteen, Bela Bartok or an Argentinian tango fills the car. Volvo has created the optimal conditions to ensure that the sound experience is as complete as it can possibly be. A sensation for the senses.
  • Page 12 In terms of design, the powerful, cohesive lines of the car are reminiscent of the C70 coupe. This open car has its own special personality and yet, at the same time, its Volvo identity is underlined by a number of specific characteristics.
  • Page 13 The sense of hearing Like the Volvo C70 coupe, the Volvo C70 convertible has what is probably the most sophisticated audio system on the market. This system is an important and integrated part of the total experience. For quality reasons, the loudspeakers are fitted at the factory.
  • Page 14 The sixth sense - common sense The Volvo C70 convertible is very definitely also a car for our sixth sense - common sense. It has set a new safety standard for open cars, by being the first car on the convertible market with automatic seatbelt pretensioners on all four seats, for example.
  • Page 15 In the Volvo C70 convertible, the A-pillars and windscreen frame are reinforced with high-strength steel and, in combination with the automatic roll-over hoops at the rear, they provide top-class protection if the car turns over. The roll-over hoops are concealed behind the standard head restraints.
  • Page 16 2,4-litre version with 170 bhp and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. This engine, just like its predecessor, is a member of Volvo's five-cylinder engine family and is being produced at the engine plant in Skövde in Sweden.
