Volvo Electric Powered Concept Sports Car
While major U.S. automakers are focusing on hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, Volvo took a different route, unveiling a sports car powered entirely with lithium-ion batteries. Volvo's 3CC concept car, won "Best Design" and five Gold Standards at the recent Michelin Challenge Bibendum environmental competition in Shanghai, China.
"Not only does the 3CC combine classic Volvo styling cues with exotic gull-wing doors and a tapered, 2+1 seating configuration, but it does so with a highly advanced lithium-ion battery electric drive train. That's a step apart from the crowd, which these days is largely focused on hybrid and fuel cell concepts," says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal.
"Just as the earlier ECC forwarded new thought in hybrid propulsion with its high-speed turbine-generator design," adds Cogan, "today's lithium-ion 3CC innovates with its thousands of smallish laptop computer-style batteries, which power this zero emission vehicle to impressive levels of efficiency and performance."
Advanced research into sustainable mobility and Volvo engineers have placed particular focus on the conditions regulating safety in small cars and their ability to handle incoming forces in a frontal collision.
The unique aerodynamic styling of Volvo's 3CC concept car allows room for a third seat in back. The unique ducktail design creates room for a third seat in the back, while the batteries are sandwiched into the floor panels.
The 3CC concept car features an 80-kilowatt motor that delivers up to 107 horsepower, it has a potential driving range of 300 km (approx 180 miles) the 3CC has a top speed of over 135 km per hour.
The carbon-fiber body is mounted on a steel space frame and composite floor panels, giving the lightweight vehicle the ability to leap to 60 miles per hour in less than 10 seconds. Volvo says the 3CC can travel 180 miles on one charge under ideal driving conditions
The Volvo 3 CC's safety features include Volvo Safety Ride Down Concept, a unique solution with a seat system that moves forward, a bit like a sled, at the same time as the front is deformed. This movement is slowed with the help of adaptive shock absorbers that tailor the damping effect to suit the collision force and the occupants’ number and weight. The interior can be moved between 0 and 200 mm forward, which has the same overall effect as extending the crumple zone by a corresponding length. It has seats that slide forward at the moment of deformation, the intention being to compensate for the small car’s traditional lack of space in the crumple zone.
Virtual tests showed that the most important part of a ride-down system is the energy absorber and that it needs to be adaptive in order to be a viable concept, by responding to differences in occupant load and crash severity”.
An environmentally efficient car that also has to be comfortable, enjoyable to drive, attractive to look at and safe to ride is an entirely new approach. The result is the Volvo 3CC, a sporty and appealing, extremely aerodynamic and compact car equipped with an energy-efficient electric motor.

2009 Volvo S40 about 7 of 7 Upscale Small. This ranking is based on an analysis of published reviews and test of 66 Volvo S40, and analysis of reliability and data security. The S40 is the strange idea that the class of the market, and its security and partitions are - something that has become the brand Volvo.

Volvo S80
It then became one of the first Volvos to have departed from the traditional boxy design that Volvo vehicles are known for. The luxury car is also aimed to attract the attention of more car buyers. Its predecessor, the Volvo 960, throughout its lifespan, has only managed to become a best seller among Volvo enthusiasts. The Volvo S80 though has managed to increase the buyer base of Volvo by offering them something new and different from the Swedish brand.
The only problem that the S80 faced in its first generation is the question of power. While most cars in its class offer huge eight or six cylinder engines, the first generation Volvo S80 only offered a choice between a five-cylinder and a six-cylinder engine.
In an effort to increase power of the relatively smaller engines, Volvo equipped them with turbochargers. This increased their engines power output but are still not in the same league as Volvo’s competition. For the 2007 model year though, Volvo made a move that became a first for them.
The second generation of Volvo S80s are now equipped with V8 unit to match the power output of rival cars. That step made the S80 the first Volvo sedan to be equipped with a V8 engine. The 3.2-liter V8 engine available for the 2007 S80 sedan is capable of producing as much as 235 units of horsepower. The engine is the same used by Volvo in the award-winning XC90 but is much smaller.
In what Volvo calls the “Scandinavian luxury”, the cockpit of the Volvo S80 reflects simple yet functional and luxurious design cues. Aside from the interior styling, the control units of some of the S80’s features are also simple to operate thus making them convenient for consumers. The seats offer good side and back support which gives one a feeling of comfort even if he or she is strapped to the vehicle’s seats for an extended trip. For families, the Volvo S80 offers good storage capacity. The trunk is spacious and the rear seats can be folded to provide more space for cargoes. The entertainment system is superb with an MP3-capable six-CD changer which can connect to external audio players. The push button engine start feature is also one of the more technologically advanced features that the Volvo S80 employs.
And since the S80 is a Volvo, one can expect that it will be loaded with safety features. The S80 is built around a unibody structure which gives the occupants relative safety during crashes. Materials used in the constuction of the Volvo S80 differ in strength. Those which are far from passengers are not as strong as those near the passengers. This is specifically designed to absorb more energy in the event of a crash. Other safety features includes the adaptive cruise control, the BLIS or the Blind Spot Information System, the Personal Car Communicator, and adaptive bi-xenon headlights. The increased power output of the engine also needs a good braking system. The Volvo S80 is thus equipped with large ventilated disc brakes on all wheels. It is also equipped with an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distribution. The S80 is not only safe for its passengers but also for the environment, thanks to the Volvo catalytic converter it is equipped with.
