2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition #88 Of 250 (similar To Vw Golf Gti) on 2040-cars
Westford, Massachusetts, United States
The C30 is Volvo's version of the VW Golf. This Polestar Edition
(6-speed manual transmission) of the C30 is analogous to the GTI version
of the Golf. It has more horsepower (250) and torque (273) than both
the current GTI and the new generation model that is coming out later
this year. This is truly a sports car as when you hit the gas, the
turbo engages immediately and you can feel your body being pushed back
into the seat by the near instant torque boost.. This is one (#88) of
only 250 of this Polestar Limited Edition made for sale in the US. The
car was purchased new in October of 2013. I am selling it with only
7,000 miles on it as I unexpectedly lost my job and the mortgage takes
priority over a sports car (obviously).
This car is a combination of sports and luxury. In addition to the turbocharged, specially tuned engine, it has all your typical luxury options, including heated leather seats, driver and passenger power seats, auto climate control, active xenon headlights, power heated mirrors, extra high quality audio system, and power moonroof, Additional options include blind spot information system (BLIS), black alloy wheels, bluetooth for phone and streaming audio, and a number of unique Volvo-only features, such as an Air Quality sensor that automatically switches from outside air to inside air when exhaust fumes are detected in the outside air. See the link below for a full description of this C30 Polestar. This car comes with the full remainder of the 50,000 mile / 4 year factory warranty. And, the first three scheduled-maintenance services (10, 20, 30K miles) are free at any Volvo dealer. Also included are a set of winter floor mats and a new pair of winter wiper blades. And, I can tell you that the all-season tires on the car performed great in this past winter's snow. You can use these year-round and really don't have to buy a set of winter tires. Please note that the starting bid price of $27,500 is 20% off the original sticker price of $34,000. And, the car has been registered / on the road for only 7 months. |

Last Volvo XC90 rolls off assembly line in Gothenburg
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was back in 1998 when Volvo set about developing its first SUV. The brief was to build a seven-seater that wasn't "too large", and several design proposals were considered. Three and a half years later Volvo revealed the XC90 at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and the rest, as they say, is history.
Volvo initially had an eye towards selling 50,000 units per year. It achieved that and then some, selling around 85,000 examples per year between 2004 and 2007. Now, after 12 years and 636,143 examples made - still over that initial target on average despite its lingering age that see it selling just 11,000 units these past few years - the last Volvo XC90 rolled off the assembly line in Gothenburg.
That final example is heading straight to the Volvo Museum adjacent to the factory. But it won't, strictly speaking, be the last XC90. It is the last of that model to be built in Sweden, but a new model is on its way. And the current model will continue to be built in Daqing, China, to be sold locally as the Volvo XC Classic. So if you want to get your hands on a seven-seat Volvo crossover, you'll have to move there. Otherwise you can wait until the end of January 2015 for the new model to begin production.
Turn up your speakers for this Shelby-powered Sunbeam Tiger and friends
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Most of us are never going to be like Jay Leno and drive a new car every day. However, it's possibly affordable to collect a handful of vintage rides, especially if you look a touch off the beaten path. In recent video, Petrolicious highlights Hans Abrahams, who is doing just that. He has three 1960s, European classics that love to be driven.
The absolute star of the trio is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger. In the cabin, it has the meaty growl of a muscle car, but outside it has a little of the raspiness of period European cars. Abrahams says its mostly original except for its Ford 289-cubic-inch (4.7-liter) V8 with Shelby parts, producing around 273 horsepower. He says it's a bit difficult to maintain and hard to keep cool, but when you hear it, you know the trouble is worth it.
Next up, is Abrahams' 1965 MGB that is a bit of a monster in its own right. It lacks the Tiger's oomph under the hood, but it's loud enough to blow out Petrolicious' microphone. It's still a very cool little roadster.
Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
