Weiterstadt, Germany - HEICO SPORTIV is an exhibitor at the Tuningworld Bodensee (28.April - 1.Mai) for the second time. For 2007 we are displaying two spectacular versions of the Volvo C30. Same basis. Different characters. The high torque Diesel version of the Volvo C30 painted in eye catching red is shown at the V.D.A.T. (organisation of German automotive tuners) booth in hall 1.A. Its 2.5 Liter five-cylinder delivers 400 Nm of torque (350 Nm stock). 151 KW/205 HP (132 KW/180 HP stock) making sure enough thrust is available at all times. For 0-100 km/h this compact Swede needs only 7,9 sec and reaches a top speed of 225 km/h. The power upgrade is achieved by reprogramming the original ECU. Together with the spectacular 4-tip exhaust system a perfect combination results. This stainless steel exhaust system is exclusively reserved for customers using the HEICO SPORTIV THOR body kit. The THOR body kit is the production-ready version of the design package that was first displayed at the SEMA Las Vegas on the concept car "HEICO HS3 THOR". The front bumper features the typical front grill, bigger air intakes, and integrated corner-lights that characterize HEICO style. Fender flares, side skirts and rear bumper complete the body kit. The beautifully designed rear diffuser is tailor made to be fitted with the four tip exhaust system. For driving pleasure, HEICO SPORTIV developed a sport suspension setup. The suspension was specially tested on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and is height- adjustable. Matching Volution wheels in 18", 19" or 20" are available, as well as a 4-piston brake kit with blue HEICO SPORTIV callipers and rotors in 326x30 mm.
If that's not enough, the interior was redesigned as well. The top quality two-tone leather interior in two different red hues compliment the paint color. Aluminium pedals, hand-brake lever, doorpins as well as a leather shift knob establish the interior accents. Exclusivity to see and feel. This C30 D5 is an all round winner, delivering sporty driving with comfort for long distance journeys, as well as efficient performance. Camouflage exposure. The HEICO HS3 T5. This C30 T5 looks very conspicuous. With its camouflage sticker set this 184 KW/250 HP (162 KW/220 HP stock) strong Volvo is very visible and even more obvious to the ear. This is a due to HEICO SPORTIV ingredients such as four tip exhaust system, sound pipe and downpipe with sport-catalytic converter. For the sprint from 0-100 km/h the "Camo" needs 6,3 sec and beats the stock version by 0,5 sec. On the Autobahn the C30 reaches a top speed of 250 km/h. Also displayed and in stock: Sport-suspension-kit, 4-piston brake kit, Thor body kit, and interior accessories. Only the custom made TOYO Tires are not for sale. They are made with a special HEICO profile and based on the semi-slick R888. These and many more highlights are displayed starting on the 28th of April at the Tuningworld Bodensee in Hall A1 (booth 212) and next to the main entrance.
