Das Auto ist schnell, keine Frage, aber noch sehr viel schneller sind die Rechner an Bord. Die Elektronik nämlich macht das neue Volvo-Modell S60R zu einer extremen Hochleistungs-Limousine.

Vorgestellt wird der Sportwagen im braven Pkw-Look Ende September auf dem Pariser Autosalon. Im Frühjahr 2003 soll er auf den Markt kommen. Einstweilen geben die Schweden Einblicke in die Technik des Autos und schwärmen vom "fortschrittlichsten Modell", das sie jemals gebaut haben.
Wirklich neu ist dabei das Fahrwerkssystem. Volvo spricht von der "Four-C-Technik" und erklärt, dass sich hinter den vier "Cs" die Begriffe Continously Controlled Chassis Concept verbergen. Four-C klingt natürlich viel besser und aufregender.

Gemeint ist Folgendes: Das System kann in sehr kurzer Zeit wirklich große Datenmengen sammeln und auswerten, was es ermöglicht, Dämpfung, Stoßdämpfer und das elektronische gesteuerte Allradsystem blitzschnell der jeweiligen Fahrsituation anzupassen. Die Technik überprüft und aktualisiert alle zwei Millisekunden - also 500-mal pro Sekunde - die Einstellung jedes einzelnen Stoßdämpfers.

Der Fahrer des Wagens kann über Tasten am Armaturenbrett die Voreinstellungen Comfort, Sport oder Advanced Sport wählen. Wer es wissen will, drückt also den Knopf "Advanced Sport", worauf sich der Volvo in "einen kompromisslosen Sportwagen verwandelt, für den maximales Fahrvergnügen und direkter Straßenkontakt höchste Priorität haben", wie die Schweden ausführen.

Für Vortrieb sorgt ein 2,5-Liter-Fünfzylinder-Turbomotor mit einer Leistung von 300 PS (222 kW) und einem maximalen Drehmoment von 400 Nm. Damit lässt sich das Auto in 5,8 Sekunden von 0 auf Tempo 100 beschleunigen. Bei 250 km/h riegelt die Elektronik ab. Gekoppelt ist der Motor mit einem Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe, der S60R wird aber auch mit einer Fünfgang-Automatik angeboten.

Äußerlich unterscheidet sich das Auto nur sehr begrenzt von den zivileren Modellgenossen. Am Bug gibt es größere Lufteinlässe, am Heck einen unauffällig integrierten Spoiler. Seitlich erkennt man das heiß gemachte Fahrzeug an einem R-Logo auf den Felgen. Im Innenraum gibt es blaue Instrumente und blaue Nähte an den Lederverkleidungen der Sportsitze und des Lenkrads.

Der S60R wird im belgischen Volvo-Werk in Gent gebaut, das mit gleicher Technik ausgestattete Kombimodell V70R kommt aus der Fabrik im schwedischen Torslanda. Über Preise ist derzeit noch keine Auskunft zu erhalten.

The New S60R

An Intelligent Perofrmance Car with Unique Active Chassis Technology

Gothenburg, Sweden - Volvo Cars is now releasing the first pictures of their new high performance car.

The new Volvo S60 R, with Four-C Technology, is the most technically-advanced model ever made from the Swedish car manufacturer.

The S60 R will have its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show on 26 September 2002. The V70 R estate, based on the same technology, will also be unveiled at that time.

Volvo Cars is now delivering what the Performance Concept Car, first shown in Paris 2000, promised.

The result is the Volvo S60 R, an intelligent high performance car with one of the world's most advanced active performance chassis, a 300 hp engine and electronically-controlled AWD.

The three chassis settings, Comfort, Sport and Advanced Sport, are only a finger-length away for the driver: "performance on demand".

Redefines the Performance Car Concenpt

The Volvo S60 R redefines the performance car concept. Unlike any other car currently available, it combines two capabilities:

· The direct road contact of an extreme sports car.
· The everyday comfort requirements of a family car.

The secret is in the three discreet buttons on the dashboard, labelled Comfort, Sport and Advanced Sport.

At the push of a button, the driver indicates how he wants to drive his S60 R. The intermediate setting, "Sport", provides optimum performance during normal but sporty driving. Starting from this point, the driver also has the choice of two outer settings.

The "Comfort" setting uses "Sky Hook" technology to optimise the body's insulation against an uneven road surface. It is as if the car was suspended from virtual shock absorbers in the sky.

The "Advanced sport" setting transforms the Volvo S60 R into an uncompromising sports car which prioritises maximum driving pleasure and direct road contact.

Four-C Technology

What gives the driver this freedom of choice is the unique Four-C Technology, the Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept. It is the Four-C Technology's ability to collect large amounts of information on the movement of the car, and adjust the dampening of the shock absorbers extremely quickly, which makes the chassis on the Volvo S60R one of the most advanced on the market.

The system then very rapidly adjusts the damping on the shock absorbers and the electronic control of the AWD system.

Every other millisecond, i.e. 500 times per second, Four-C updates the setting on each shock absorber, on the basis of continuous information on the car's speed, the movement of the wheels and chassis, and the position of the steering wheel.

Four-C Technology is the result of a long-term collaboration with Öhlins Racing AB, one of the world's foremost developers of high-tech shock absorbers, and the shock absorber manufacturer Monroe.

The Volvo S60R has electronically-controlled all-wheel drive. The AWD system is combined with Four-C Technology, and optimises road-holding and stability. Like Four-C, the AWD system is connected to the car's Multiplex computer system, and can, therefore, handle large quantities of information. With its extremely short engagement and disengagement time, the AWD system can react immediately to the position of the accelerator and the torque of the engine.

300 hp and 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds

The Volvo S60 R comes with a turbocharged 2.5 litre, 5-cylinder engine which provides 300 hp and 400 Nm at 2,100 rpm. A Volvo S60 R with manual gearbox accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds (preliminary figure) and has a top speed which is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

The compact 6-gear manual box has been newly developed by Volvo Cars and the 5-stage automatic gearbox is the Geartronic type, providing optional manual gear changing.

The brakes of the Volvo S60 R match the performance of the rest of the car. The four-piston Brembo brake callipers are made of aluminium. The front brake discs have a diameter of a full 330 mm and are 32 mm thick. The corresponding figures for the rear brake discs are 330 mm and 28 mm.

This gives the Volvo S60 R a braking distance of 36 meters from 100 - 0 km/h.

The external design of the Volvo S60 R is typically restrained and functional.

"There is nothing which doesn't fulfil a function, no unnecessary design clutter," says Peter Horbury, Vice President and Chief Designer at Volvo Cars. One example is the rear spoiler of the Volvo S60 R.

"Some people might think that it's rather too discreet, but its task is to reduce the rear liftting forces by 20 percent - and it does precisely that."

The Volvo S60 R has a completely new front, with larger air intakes and spoiler to provide effective cooling of the engine, and two intercoolers. The black eggcrate grill is a unique feature on the S60 R. It has a matt silver edge, and this colour theme is also picked up in the framing of the Bi-Xenon headlights.

The five-spoke wheel rims carry a discreet R logo and are available in 17" and 18", in both cases with Pirelli's P-Zero Rosso 235/45 or 235/40.

Exclusive Interior

The Volvo design team has been considerably bolder in planning the interior. The first things to catch a driver's eye are the four clear blue, silver-framed instruments, a design reminiscent of an exclusive watch.
The three-spoke leather-clad steering wheel has a slightly elliptical section to ensure an excellent grip. The leather details are stitched in blue, reflecting the colour scheme of the instruments.

The deep-contoured sports seats in the Volvo S60 R are available in exclusive untreated aniline leather as an option, a natural leather which means that the interior, with time, takes on a completely individual patina.

The Volvo S60 R will be built at Volvo's factory in Ghent, Belgium, and the V70 R at the Torslanda plant in Sweden. The start of production is planned for early 2003 and the volume will be limited.

Previous R Models

Though Volvo ran their internal R Sport accessories catalog for many years, it was the introduction of the 1995 850 T-5R that first saw the R letter added to a model designation.

The first R model was a celebratory exhibition for Volvo. It showcased the performance technology that Gothenburg was capable of and it was inspired by the successful 850 Racing touring car program, which had been campaigning in the British Touring Car Championship.

Following the successful T-5R, was an evolution of the theme in the 850R which followed for the 1996 and 1997 model years.

With the introduction of the first generation 70 Series in 1998 came the new S70 R AWD, sold in the USA, and the V70 R AWD sold in European markets. These cars took the R brand to a higher level with an even more potent version of Volvo's venerable I-5 turbo that was mated to the company's viscous coupling-based all-wheel-drive system.

Volvo's R models were revolutionary in showing the auto industry that hardcore sport models could be produced as family sedans or station wagons. Today, many companies such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz now market similar products largely due to the success of Volvo's R models.
