A few photos of my " new " car: Volvo C 70 T5.

Oct 31, 2014,11:22 AM
 

Ok, ok, I've hidden it for some 14 months, but I had some good reasons... I prepared it, mechanically speaking, to transform it in a raging machine.

I will reveal all the work done on it later, in a review, don't panic.

But for the moment, here is the new Vlad Mobile. So, now, I have the P 1800 I drive almost everyday,  and this one.

 


 


 

Best,

Nicolas

I'm curious about what you've done.... Regards, Bart

No chip tuning. Only mechanical improvements.

You can already note the double exhausts from Heico... 45 extra HPs, and 100 extra Newton Meters.... Hmmm.... :) Thanks for your kind words, Bart Nicolas

Nice! Interior shots?

... looks elegant and tamed outside... but with all these "little touches" you mention, the charm is inside! I can easily imagine the sound and the power! Safe driving and lots of enjoyment for you and your passengers my dear Nicolas! Un abrazo, Abel.

Congrats on the C70 T5

I like the styling and it breaks the mold of the traditional boxy Volvo's from before. Congrats, looking forward to hearing about your driving experiences between the C70 and your P1800. Regards, ED-209

I can already tell you it is a totally different experience.

On the T5, you have a lot of torque. On the P 1800, everything is more direct, and at least, the gearbox is manual. The T5 is, of course, much faster. And the experience of a convertible / coupĂ© is extraordinary. But the P 1800 has an incredible charm. Ca... 

A belated congrats

That is a very nice looking car. I imagine it handles very well. Years ago TracieC drove an XC70 for several years (which I loved, BTW). During one of our visits to the dealer I tested an S60R. WHOA. That sucker was fast! I very much like Volvo. Great bra... 

Yes, the S 60R is really something. I try to get the same character on the C 70.
