The Volvo C30 by ipd

A trio of tuners will be exhibiting custom concept modifications of the new Volvo C30 hatchback at the 2006 North American International Auto Show this November 2006.

The first tuner is ipd, whose ipd Volvo C30 concept shown above is painted with a Swedish flag theme of blue and yellow. The ipd Volvo C30 concept has an intercooled supercharger which boosts power up to 400 horses, with improved handling by a fully adjustable coil-over suspension system and better braking with larger diameter disc brakes. The ipd C30’s in-car entertainment system is equipped with products by Alpine and Apple.

The other two tuners are HEICO SPORTIV and EVOLVE. Check out their renditions of the Volvo C30 after the post jump.

    Apparently Heico is one of Volvo's main tuners, is it?

    Like Brabus doing up Merc, AC Schnitzer doing up BMWs..

    The C30 is one hell of a hatchback. To me, like the Renault Megane, it is a revolutionary design for a hatch that all car companies should follow.

    As for the modified sketches, its pure fantasy unless its built. They look good coz they are lowered to the floor and has huge wheels, which, if built, can't be driven in the real world for sure!

    KingKong: The images are direct from Volvo, for journalist usage.
