<p>Volvo will present the XC60 R-Design option pack at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. On the outside you&#8217;ll find five-spoke 18&#8243; (and even 20&#8243; if you want to) Cratus aluminum wheels (unique for R-Design models), door mirror housings, trim mouldings, decor trim in matte metal finish, skid plates, metal finish grille with R-Design emblem and twin chrome tailpipes. The lower section of the car is color matched to the rest of the body instead of matte black making the car appear as lower than the standard model although it&#8217;s not. The chassis is stiffer, sporting stronger damping and the car now features more direct steering. </p>
<p>On the inside you&#8217;ll find metal finish; aluminum inserts on the centre stack, door mouldings and the steering wheel (with perforated leather and an engraved R-Design emblem). The pedals are made of brushed aluminum and rubber inserts, </p>

<p>Not impressed by the stock Volvo XC60 looks? Well, here&#8217;s German tuning company <b>Heico Sportiv&#8217;s</b> take on it, offering increased performance as well as a more athletic look. Interior-wise you get aluminum door pins, pedals and foot rests, a custom leather gear shift lever and nine different colors and color schemes for the interior leather and materials (door panel inlays, seat covers etc).</p>
<p>On the outside you get tuned suspension to improve handling (the Heico Sportiv lowers the XC60 by 30mm), a front spoiler and rear skirt, spacers giving you 30mm tracking increase, 19 to 20 inch alloy wheels,  The 2.4D and D5 both report 210 hp and the turbocharged T6 goes from 285 hp to 315.</p>

Sure would be interesting to see how a C30 would handle with the added front/rear spoilers, side sills and a rear diffuser in real life.</p>
