During this time we’ve learned a lot about people and cars. One of the things we’ve discovered is that although safety is enhanced through the interaction of sophisticated systems, it is most importantly the product of the relation- ship between car and driver. This bond is where dynamic driving begins. This insight has helped us to develop cars that are exhilarating to drive, yet safer than ever before. The Volvo S60 R and V70 R are two such cars – each designed to provide the world’s most demanding drivers with a vehicle worthy of their attention. In both instances, performance, safety and luxury are opportu- nities – not impositions. Capability is ready and waiting, realized by the technology and your driving desire. Volvo R is about making great perfor- mance possible, and everyday motoring more enjoyable. Maybe that’s R – FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY why, even after all these years, we still find safety so exciting. Imagine sports car performance, poised for action – ready for the moment you feel the urge to use it. This is the Volvo S60 R, a powerful VOLVO S60 R yet refined vehicle to fulfill every aspect of your driving desire. This is the original high performance wagon – the car that’s created a category of its own. The Volvo V70 R provides thoroughbred perform- ance while sacrificing none of the lifestyle embracing qualities you VOLVO V70 R expect from a Volvo. 6 7 Three hundred horsepower.

Or, there’s a six-speed automatic with Geartronic that also offers high- performance shifting, especially if you select the Sport shifting mode. And because Geartronic allows you to shift gears manually, you can stay in a lower gear to rev the engine higher, or to provide added braking capacity. 8 9 The Volvo S60 R and V70 R are the fastest cars we’ve ever built. Advanced technologies interact to help put this power safely in your hands. Sophisticated suspension systems, AWD with Instant Traction™, close ratio steering and Brembo brakes all combine for an awe- R-CONTROL inspiring drive. BRAKES > Brembo aluminum four-cylinder brake calipers grip the 330 mm ventilated discs to provide high-performance braking in a wide range of driving conditions. Light alloy calipers aid heat dissipation to help maintain performance even after repeated braking. This, together with lightweight aluminum wheels, results in low unsprung weight – enhancing the car’s crisp and precise driving manners. For added security, EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) detects emergency braking and steps in to help reduce stopping distance. AWD WITH INSTANT TRACTION™ Power is continuously distributed between the front and rear wheels by Volvo’s new pre-charged, electronically controlled, all-wheel drive system – AWD with Instant Traction™. The difference is noticeable the moment you take off – constant hydraulic pressure ensures that power is promptly directed to the wheels with the best traction. Wheel spin is minimized to provide immediate acceleration and reassuring stability in slippery conditions. During normal driving on straight and dry roads, the front wheels receive up to 95% of the power for optimum stability and fuel economy. As the situation dictates, up to 70% of the power is instantly distributed to the rear wheels if necessary, to provide maximum stability and traction. And when cornering, the AWD system instantly channels power where it’s needed most to provide confident handling throughout the curve. < STEERING Quick and responsive steering is perhaps the most important link between road, car, and driver. Behind the wheel, you can enjoy communicative yet firm steering that provides progressively less power assistance as your speed increases, for optimal highway stability. Exceptionally precise steering and balanced feedback from the road are benefits you’ll always appreciate. 10 11 Behind the handling characteristics of a Volvo R model, the Four-C chassis system plays an integral role. This technology is designed to utilize the car’s advanced chassis and AWD system to their greatest potential. Whatever the road or the weather may have in store, an R model makes every drive a pleasure. At the touch of a button the car’s character will instantly change from taut, race-inspired handling to all- day comfort – and back again. But regardless of the chassis mode you R-HANDLING choose, Four-C will continually adapt to your driving situation.

This results in The chassis no longer irons out bumps, but conveys the car’s occupants from bumps in the road. reduced body movement and precise road behavior, all road surface information directly to the driver. The system prioritizes flexible shock absorption combined with good riding comfort. The system stiffens the shock absorbers to ensure for smooth and gentle body movement and maximum contact between tire and road. Providing exceptional ride comfort. maximum road-holding, this setting is ideal for highway driving, or perhaps even on a track, for situations when road grip has the highest priority. And when you’ve had your fun, comfort is only a click away.

The Four-C system analyzes body movement, speed, wheel movement, steering wheel position and other parameters 500 times per second. Simultaneously, it adjusts each shock absorber for optimal handling and comfort. At the heart of the system is Volvo’s semi-active suspension with continuously controlled Monroe-Öhlins shock absorbers and the three dynamic chassis modes: Comfort, Sport and Advanced. The shock absorbers, AWD system, DSTC system, engine, brakes and steering all synthesize in an electronically controlled system – in response to your style of driving. MID-CURVE At the apex of a curve, when the lateral forces are at their greatest and you want the car to pull you out of the bend, power is fed to all four wheels – according to their level of traction – while the chassis minimizes roll and compensates for any tendencies to under or EXITING A CURVE over-steer.
