Video: The sexy and shiny Heico Volvo S80 T6 HPC

We never thought we’d say the word sexy and Volvo in the same sentence, but the Heico Volvo S80 T6 shown at this year’s 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas was just absolutely gorgeous.

Modified by German Tuner Heico, the S80 T6 HPC was derived from a 3.2 liter front-wheel-drive Volvo S80. Heico engineers then tuned the engine to run on E85 ethanol and increase horsepower to 350 through a high-performance engine software, a new intercooler and a stainless steel racing exhaust system. The Heico S80 T6 SPC has an estimated 0-62 mph time of 5.8 seconds.

Check out the video of the experts behind the car explaining their design process as well as the promotional video.

Chrome cars, though so utterly impracticable for so many reasons, just look soooooo cool.

No. That would be a VW. Or a Porsche for the fact.

whats wrong with Volvo, from what I understand they are extremely well built vehicles that has/had descent motor selections with "ok" interior. nothing exiting interior wise expect for the slope down the middle. but it is an interestng lay-out.

i had the oppurtunity to use the recent s60R-manual for a week and can honestly say it was a blast to drive.

like c&d mentioned, it was the businessmans STi. which is rite in line if you asked me...
