Volvo R... have ALWAYS been a fan on em.. and with 300/300 .... can't turn your nose up at it at all!

OK I need more pics of that car in better light or another car with same color. I am absulutely in love with that color.....
I can honestly say that is the first picture of any Volvo that I have EVER liked. I always hated their styling but that on is nicely done
MONROVIA, Calif., (October 2003) - EVOLVE, the first U.S.-based design and manufacturing company dedicated to creating performance-enhanced Volvo sport sedans, unveils its initial concepts at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nov. 4 - 7, 2003. Styled to deliver an individual design statement and sport sedan performance without compromising the respected Volvo heritage, the two EVOLVE S60Rs are created to enhance Volvo's image as an enthusiast marque with upgrades that allow it to perform with purebred sports cars. The first Evolve S60R, outfitted in a custom PPG Laser Blue finish with color-coded trim, will be displayed in the Ford Motor Company exhibit. Featuring signature EVOLVE aerodynamic front and rear bumpers, sill spoilers, an Evolve-designed grille, lower valance grilles, decklid spoiler and taillight trim, this is one Volvo that is ready to challenge all contenders on the open road. Its interior is appointed in "Nordkap" blue metallic leather with silver highlights, custom gray carpet, custom speaker and vent grilles, and aluminum shifter, pedals and footrest. An Evolve boost gauge package is integrated into the factory display and the car sports a 13-speaker Dolby Pro-Logic stereo system. Under the hood, the Volvo's engine develops an estimated 500 hp with EVOLVE's turbo and intercooler upgrade, ram-air intake and engine dress-up kit. An EVOLVE adjustable coil-over suspension anchors the car's semi-active suspension system with three dynamic chassis modes. EVOLVE's Big Brake Kit is comprised of braided steel brake lines and 15-inch 2-piece rotors with twin six-piston calipers front and rear. EVOLVE's Graphite 19-inch 3-piece wheels and Pirelli P-Zero Rosso 235/35-19 tires, darkened taillights, Bi-Xenon headlamps complete the package. A second S60R, to be displayed in a special "Featured Vehicle" area, is sponsored by Meguiar's, the world's leading surface care manufacturer, and sports a Meguiar's logo across its "Passion Red" Volvo finish. Like its sister car the Meguiar's sponsored S60R is dressed with EVOLVE's custom designed aerodynamic front and rear bumpers, sill spoilers, main and lower valance grilles, specially designed deck spoiler, taillight trim, and exhaust system. Inside it features a "Gobi" tan leather interior, aluminum shifter and pedals and a 13-speaker Dolby Pro-Logic stereo system. Drilled EVOLVE brake rotors front and rear, plus braided stainless steel brake lines and Carbon-Kevlar brake pads plus Eibach lowering springs on its semi-active sport suspension, also with three dynamic chassis modes improve handling and stability and make stopping a simple matter. "We are extremely pleased that Vic Doolan, president of Volvo Cars North America, selected EVOLVE to create and build the two S60Rs that will represent Volvo at the 2003 SEMA Show," says Don Nicholson, founder of EVOLVE. "I think visitors will agree that these are two Volvos designed for the enthusiast in every driver, specifically tailored to take a customer's Volvo to the next level of performance." Initially, EVOLVE performance products will be available to Volvo customers directly from the corporation, with plans in motion to create a network of EVOLVE-approved dealers, including independent Volvo service shops, and ultimately the availability of select items ultimately offered through Volvo dealership parts and service departments. http://www.evolvecars.com/ my fav are the back of the blue ones..........bad ass
