Heico Sportiv Volvo V60
The
new Volvo V60, especially with its R-Design package, reminds us why we
love Volvo wagons. Sophisticated but humble, sharp but clean, and
powerful but refined- all essential characteristics for a
no-compromising sport wagon. Yet even with 300 horsepower and a
turbocharged engine, this isn’t enough for many enthusiasts. Enter
German tuner German tuner Heico Sportiv. With over twenty years tuning
Volvos, much of that on the Nurburgring, Heico has the knowledge and
tools to fix the V60’s horsepower deficit.
With
new software, Heico boosts the V60’s horsepower to 330 and torque to an
impressive 340 lb-ft. With Volvo’s all-wheel drive, this allows the V60
T6 to reach sixty in 5.9 seconds and reach a limited 155 miles per
hour. Not too shabby for a 3900 lb grocery-getter!
Yet
unlike less experienced tuners, Heico’s V60 package also includes
suspension and cosmetic upgrades. The Swede wagon gets quad exhaust
tips, a full aero package with a front and rear diffuser, and either 18
inch or 20 inch forged alloys. For the interior, Heico adds a brushed
aluminum pedal set, foot rest, and shift knob. Unless Volvo decides the
offer a V60 R, this package is the best bet for Volvo Wagon
enthusiasts!
