New Volvo C70

Volvo has significantly revised its C70, replacing the model that made its debut in 2006. The new coupe/convertible features a redesigned exterior and interior, yet retains the three-piece retractable roof and four seat accommodations of its predecessor.  "We have carefully redesigned the front and rear of the car so they harmonise more with the larger Volvo models," said Fedde Talsma, Exterior Chief Designer of Volvo Cars. "We have also increased the exclusiveness of the interior materials and trim details to enhance the feeling of luxury."
Taking inspiration from the S60 concept, the C70 is now more closely aligned with the design language of the larger cars in the Volvo range. Revisions have been made to the grille, hood, headlamps, fenders and fog lamps to give the vehicle a more modern and subtly aggressive DRG, while the rear features LED lamps, as found on the XC60. Inside, the instrument panel has been redesigned to give it a wider look and a new surface texture is also said to enhance the quality feel.
The C70 is set to be revealed at the 2009 IAA in Frankfurt later this month.
