Volvo C60 XC60 V70 XC70 Ocean Race Special Edition This month Volvo will launch the "Ocean Race Edition" on 3 Volvo models, the V60, XC60, V70 and XC70. Lennart Stegland, President of the Special Vehicles divison at Volvo Cars:
"The cars in the Volvo Ocean Race Edition reflect all the values that our customers look for when they choose a car: an active lifestyle, adventure and passion, without compromising safety and environmental care." Volvo Ocean Race Special Edition can be seen in dealers showrooms starting June 2011. With this edition Volvo plans to sell about 7.500 units. The Ocean Edition is expected to be launched in markets like Germany, UK, Italy and Sweden.

Customers who will purchase have the option to choose between 2 exterior paintjobs, "Ocean Blue II" and "Electric Silver".

Lennart Stegland, President of the Special Vehicles divison at Volvo Cars:
"There are many features that in a very subtle way make you think about boats and sailing. The aluminium decor is designed in such a way that the pattern looks like a yacht harbour full of sailing boat masts. The stitching on the upholstery traces its roots to sail-making. The aluminium detailing on the mats resembles clews. And the design of the unique wheels has been inspired by the movement of the ocean's waves."
