A range of special editions from Volvo will be unveiled in Geneva

Exactly 40 years after the completion of the first race, Volvo Cars is celebrating the upcoming 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race by presenting another special edition of sailing-inspired cars at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

The fifth generation Volvo Ocean Race Edition will include the Volvo V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60. The models are available in four colours - Ocean Blue II, Bright Silver, Black Sapphire and Crystal White. The unique seven-spoke 'Portunus' wheel comes in 17-inch (V40 and V40 Cross Country) and 18-inch (V60 and XC60) dimensions. The Volvo Ocean Race identification is displayed on the tread plates and front fenders as well as in the start-up sequence on the Infotainment screen.

The interior features black or blond leather upholstery with orange stitching and the Volvo Ocean Race logo in orange. The stitching is echoed on the door panels and floor mats, which also have a special rubber tag attached.

At the same time, Volvo Cars will introduce the V70 and XC70 Editions for customers with a taste for a more dynamic look and handling.

The V70 Edition is characterised by a number of high gloss black details, including the ribs in the grille, the rear-view mirror caps, the side window frames and parts of the tailgate. 17-inch wheels in high gloss silver are standard, while 17-inch and 18-inch wheels in high gloss black are optional.

The XC70 Edition also features several high gloss black details. Specially designed 18-inch, diamond cut wheels in glossy black are standard. Both the V70 and XC70 have seats in black leather with contrasting cream stitching. The stitching is echoed on the door panels, the front centre armrest, the floor mats and on the sport steering wheel. The dynamic look is further enhanced with sport pedals.
