The lights of Las Vegas well captured in the brilliance of the painting aluminum Heico Sportiv S80 T6 High Performance Concept (HPC). Being shown for the first time in North America at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association trade shows in Las Vegas, NV, the S80 T6 HPC is a literal application of the power of thought, sophistication and athletics as can be seen in its single layer 7-inch aluminum effect "Body painting. S80 T6 But HPC is more than a pretty face. It is a real example a powerful luxury sedan may also be sensitive to 'environment.
"Heico Sportiv is honored to be back working with Volvo Cars to build the S80 T6 exciting HPC for this year's SEMA show," said Holger Hedtke, chairman of Heico. The 2007 show marks the second year Heico Sportiv entered into a partnership with Volvo Cars to establish a concept of SEMA. This year, Heico shows its mettle with the S80 T6 HPC and the C30 Surf Pattern (see separate release). "The S80 T6 HPC is really where we are putting all our efforts this year," continued Hedtke, "This is our concept further in advance the date and it is one that is very proud Heico."
But to get to Las Vegas was not easy. The project began as the curtain fell on last year's SEMA show. Behind closed doors Heico leaders sat to put on paper the concept of 2007. The result is a Volvo S80 T6 which has been granted to an amazing 350 horsepower while running on bioethanol fuel.
When the S80 arrived at the shop on Heico Weiterstadt, Germany, in early 2007, Holger and his team knew they had their work cut out for them. The S80 began life with a 3.2-liter inline-six engine and front-wheel drive, because production has not yet begun on the Volvo S80 T6, which has standard all-wheel drive. A new engine was delivered T6 of Sweden and began work in earnest.
Performance
The first order of business was to make a substantial increase in power. The standard Volvo T6 engine produces 281 horsepower, which is enough to move the S80 with verve ease. But it is a concept of SEMA and a significant bump in horsepower and torque are a necessity. Once the engine has been modified to run on E85 ethenol, Heico turned its attention to maximizing engine power high-performance software, a new intermediate stainless steel and an exhaust system Race . The results were impressive: 350 hp at 5500 rpm and 405 lb.-ft. of torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. The Heico S80 T6 HPC is estimated to reach 62 mph in just 5.8 seconds.
But this power to get the land required extensive work. As the standard S80 3.2 is a front-wheel-drive car, it was determined that to really explore the potential of all-wheel drive vehicle is needed. Enter Volvo renowned Haldex All-Wheel-Drive System with Instant Traction. The system continues according to the routes power to the wheel that has the most traction and Heico with heartier modified gear to handle the huge amount of torque.
Stopping Power is provided through a 6-piston braking system custom blue-painted calipers and brake pads high performance. Volvo electronic ABS and distribution systems are fully operational. Large 13.9-inch disc brakes reside in custom alloy wheels forged 9 inches wide and 20 inches in diameter. The specially developed Volution X wheels are wrapped in Continental aggressive 255/30R-20 tires.
The Heico S80 T6 HPC rides on a chassis that is 1.5 inches lower than the overall Volvo ride height and sport-tuned suspension features springs and dampers strongest at all four corners. "We listen to all the elements to achieve a dynamic yet smooth ride. In other words, a true sports car without losing the experience comfortable and luxurious touch is the hallmark of the Volvo S80 "Hedtke noted.
Interior
Hedtke comment on the S80 T6 HPC ride and handling translate directly inside the car. "It was important to communicate the intent of this car as a genuine sports car, but also luxurious and comfortable," said Hedtke. Starting from the standard S80 innovative console, Heico of Interior Designers have decided to sweep the arc over the length of the Interior, the establishment of four sport bucket seats. The heavily reinforced thrones are separated by the console, which is wrapped in stunning silver aluminum carbon fiber.
Paying tribute to the Volvo for the use of its logo in blue, almost all surfaces that are not in aluminium is wrapped in soft leather Blue Mystic, including trim, the dash and door panels. The rear seats have been completely redesigned to accommodate the center console and the front seats have thicker side and thigh bolsters. Fully integrated to control the rear seat entertainment system, cup holders and storage trays can be found under the aluminium "floating" centre of the console. Panels and interior trim accents are bathed in silver carbon.
The S80 T6 HPC driver is a thick and comfortable flying sport with which the vehicle to unleash its power. The sport pedals and footrest door pins are all formed from aluminum billet. The crowning touch is the Mystic Blue glowing threshold of door panels.
Exterior
Refined, elegant and stylish are all words that were used to describe the Volvo S80. With Heico attention from outside the car, words such as powerful, and to impose dominance may also be imposed when the car made its North American debut at the SEMA.
"Our goal was to make the stylish Volvo S80 and to make it really stand out at this year's show, Hedtke said," This is not an easy thing to do in Las Vegas, but everyone who sees Car agree that it is really striking. "
What first jumps to the attention of the viewer is striking the "effect metal" painting. Sept coats were applied over a period of two weeks and that the process did re-shoots or retouching making Heico S80 T6 HPC really inspiring. "Nous espérons que ceux qui assistaient à la SEMA show passera par le stand Volvo de jeter un oeil sur cette voiture», a commenté Hedtke. "Il ya tellement de coutume les travaux de peinture effectués par vraiment talentueux artistes du monde entier représentées à Las Vegas, we feel the S80 T6 HPC will be truly appreciated. "
Almost every panel of the Heico S80 T6 HPC has been re-manufactured. The S80 front of the clip has been replaced by a more aggressive nose which incorporates ultra-slim LED turn-signal indicators, a better front air intake dam and wide for better airflow in the tunnel intercooler and brakes.
The new nose seamlessly blends into fresh aggressiveness wheel arches which hug tight around the custom 20-inch wheels and tires. Deep down cash under the door open to the aggressive attitude of the vehicle and assist in aerodynamics. A brand new rear bumper cap features slender rectangular exhaust ports and inserts carbon fibre.
