Modified Volvo C30 concept cars at SEMA

The annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) auto show is here, and this means Volvo fans finally get to see the modified C30 trio that was promised to be shown. Actual photos and details of the three cars from Evolve, Heico Sportive and ipd are after the jump. Enjoy!

Heico Sportiv Volvo C30

The first is a joint collaboration between German tuner Heico Sportiv and Burton Snowboards – a lifestyle-themed 300 horsepower and factory electronically controlled all-wheel drive, with a height adjustable suspension, custom cut Toyo tires and an incredibly complex six layer camouflage paint job that will let the car blend in to the mountain environment while still turning heads on the road. Though why a car would need such camouflage paint beats me.

ipd Volvo C30

ipd (International Product Development)’s Volvo C30 comes draped in the colors of the Swedish flag (it may seem that the Subaru Impreza was similiarly inspired!) and puts down 384 horsepower of punishment onto the tarmac through the front wheels. The interior features a thoroughly custom fabricated dash, highlighted by a touch screen in the floating center stack and a heads-up instrument display. A unique feature is the fully functioning gull-wing style doors.

Evolve C30

The Evolve C30 has 507 stampeding ponies thundering through all four massive tires, naturally – this is achieved via sequential twin turbos instead of the ipd C30’s supercharger. To handle all that horses, the car also has a race-inspired suspension, gigantic brakes and a yellow high gloss paint scheme.
