Launched ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Paris Auto Show is the new 2013 Volvo V40 R-Design. Although not the full-fledged Polestar model some had been expecting, but Volvo V40 is getting a new R-Design variant to give the already sleek looking hatchback an even sportier appeal.
Unique the Volvo V40 R-Design elements include a new front bumper with a high-gloss grille; twin exhaust tailpipes; custom five-spoke wheels in either 17 or 18-inch sizes and silk-metal finished details. In addition, buyer can choose from seven exterior colors.
Inside the cabin of the 2013 Volvo V40 R-Design we find sport seats in a blend of black Nubuck textile, a new instrument display screen, embossed R-Design leather/T-Tec upholstery, new aluminium inlays with a perforated look and sports steering wheel.
The 2013 Volvo V40 R-Design offered with the same array with all engines available for the V40, from the D2 diesels to a high-performance turbocharged T5 five-cylinder engine rated at 254 horsepower (187 kW) and promising 0-60 mph times of 6.7 seconds.
“The V40 R-Design is designed around the performance-minded individual with a passion for those things that add extra spice to life. The meticulous attention to detail covers the expressive design as well as the agile, precise performance,” says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Product Strategy & Vehicle Line Management at Volvo Car Corporation.
