2007 SEMA Show: Heico S80

[alin89 9]

Volvo's favorite tuning house, Heico Sportiv, is teaming up with the Swedish automaker to create another special for the 2007 SEMA Show. The latest creation is dubbed simply the S80 High Performance Concept.

Heico has modified the turbocharged T6 engine to run on E85, which is a blend of 15 percent gas and 85 percent bioethanol. The engine produces 350 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and Heico is aiming to hike output even further by the time the show rolls around in early November. The concept accelerates from zero to 60 mph in less than 5.8 seconds.

The Heico S80 features all-wheel drive and a modified sport suspension, with upgraded shocks, springs and brakes. The ride height has been lowered by 1.6 inches. Heico has fitted Continental 255/30R20 performance tires, mounted on 20-inch Volution X forged alloy wheels. A stainless-steel exhaust system has been adapted.

Aero body pieces include a front spoiler with integrated air ducts and LED running lights and a rear deck spoiler. The exterior is finished in an aluminum metal look, with trim painted in matte black chrome. The cabin is trimmed in blue leather with silver carbon-fiber accents.

What this means to you: "Green performance" is no longer an oxymoron, at least not in Volvo's lexicon.
