The Volvo C70 is a real standout among coupes and convertibles and has its roots in Swedish automotive history. The original Volvo C70 was first introduced in 1996 and was produced until 2013. The second generation, on which the 1/18 scale model from Motorart is based, was built from 2006 to 2013. The car was developed by a team led by engineer Max Wolff. The car made a splash with its elegance and robust technology when it debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2005.
The second generation of the Volvo C70 comes with an array of impressive technical specifications. Powered by a 2.5-liter T5 turbocharged engine, the vehicle delivers up to 230 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 7.6 seconds (0-60 mph in about 7.6 seconds). A notable feature of the C70 is its three-piece hardtop, transforming the car from a coupe to a convertible in around 30 seconds. This was a novelty for Volvo, and the concept was developed by engineer Tord Gobertsson. Other technical highlights include the Adaptive Cruise Control system and advanced safety technologies like the Volvo Side Impact Protection System (SIPS).
