Vehicle Profile: The 2012 Volvo S60 R-Design
Power and safety in a seductive package.

Both were performance icons – likened by critics to Thor’s hammer rendered in leather and steel. This year, Volvo wields the hammer once again, striking at the hardcore heart of the sports sedan segment with the new 2012 Volvo S60 R-Design, a 325-hp Nordic missile overflowing with Volvo luxury, technology and safety.

With so much work going into developing and integrating every component of a new vehicle, and as one of the most expensive pieces of equipment most people own, it really doesn’t make sense to install replacement parts of dubious origin.
