Volvo V70 and XC70

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 08 March 2007 09:08 Bigger, safer, better. That'll be the new V70 Volvo unveiled two key new models at Geneva – the V70 estate and its faux-by-four sibling, the XC70.

Putting the Volvo S60 Polestar Concept through its paces

Unfortunately, the Volvo S60 Polestar Concept will not be coming to a dealership near you anytime soon. It’s purely an experiment to determine if the public would be interested in 508-hp, racing-bred Volvos.

Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition revealed

Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition Uwe Gemballa and his team are probably the world’s best Porsche Carrera GT Tuners. There have been a number of tuned and pimped versions from them in the last few years (you wonder when they’re going to run out of donor cars  – there were only 1270 ever made), but this one looks particularly good. Based on a standard donor Porsche Carrera GT, the Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition gets a power increase of around 50bhp, taking it to 670bhp (not as mad as some of the Gemballa Carrera GTs have been) and 470lb/ft of torque.
