Show a year ago in Detroit, Volvo S60 concept was a revelation. Slanting headlights, concave sides, the high window-sill line, spectacular silhouette. And what cost the body without the central pole with movable back rear doors and soaring console made of crystal! Fans of the brand with a sinking heart, anticipating a production car. Moreover, that the crossover XC60, created by the same designer Steve Mattin, near left concept. Although Mattin last year left the company, but his case was alive and well. The proof of it - the serial S60 sedan new generation, which Volvo will bring to the Geneva Motor Show. New looks more relaxed than artsy prototype, it lost the concept of doors, glass roof and crystal console. But the car is still impressive, especially compared with the current generation of S60. While ten years ago during his debut "shestidesyatka" also was no less a revelation, and now brings boredom. By the way, design, Volvo now knows, Peter Horbury, has worked in the company from 1991 to 2002 and created the modern style of the Swedish brand cars, including the S60. However, he did not managed to affect mattinovsky project. Wheelbase of the new sedan - 2776 mm, 60 mm longer than its predecessor. Shire began and track. The exact body dimensions are unknown, but according to the American automotive publications, the version for the U.S. market will be longer than the current "Sixties by 50 mm (4628 mm) and wider at 25 (1855 mm). The increased size will notice first of all rear passengers, they have become more legroom. Front panel - as a Volvo XC60, dials with circular displays, floating center console with an oblique edge. The difference in the placement of air ducts. Display diagonal seven inches, and the spokes of the steering appeared joysticks to control the audio system and cruise control. For the car will be offered two options for the chassis, different stiffness of shock absorbers and the construction of the front and rear subframes. For Europe, will offer a dynamic chassis, and in the U.S., Asia and Russia, it can be ordered only as an option. The standard equipment of the same - less rigid chassis with a comfortable setting, adapted, in particular, and for roads with poor coverage. In addition, all versions of the new S60 can be equipped with an active chassis FOUR-C with an electronically regulated shock absorbers, which independently alter the stiffness depending on driving style and road quality. In addition, the most powerful petrol version will be equipped with the upgraded four-wheel drive transmission, and for the most powerful diesel car four-wheel drive offered as an option. Initially, the new S60 sedan will offer two petrol engines. The most interesting - supercharged four-cylinder direct-injection four family GTDi. This engine exhaust manifold and turbocharger are not cast a compact and made of sheet steel. Turbocharging, direct fuel injection system and two camshafts with variable valve timing feature provides engine low consumption, coupled with the power and impressive torque characteristics over a wide speed range. Judge for yourself, the engine produces 203 hp. with. and a torque of 300 Nm at 1750 rpm. A consumes just 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. True, this preliminary data. Acceleration to 100 km / h with a 6-step "mechanics" in just 7.7 sec, and a "robot» Powershift - 8,2 sec. Maximum speed: 235 km / h and 230 km / h, respectively. The most powerful petrol unit - upgraded turboshesterka T6 power of 304 hp. with. and a torque of 440 Nm. He is paired with a 6-speed automatic Volvo Geartronic second generation and is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 6.5 seconds. Top speed is limited to 250. In this case, the upgraded engine consumes 10% less fuel - only 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Later, for the S60 offers three engine families GTDi: two motors in volume of 1,6 l capacity of 150 (T3) and 180 hp. with. (T4) and one two-liter T5 (240 hp.. And 320 Nm). Diesel engines will initially be only two. This is a two-liter D3, in fact, motor 2.4D, but with a reduced volume and stroke, which made it possible to optimize fuel consumption. It develops 160 hp. with. and 400 Nm. And with the manual transmission Fuel consumption does not exceed 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers. To disperse hundreds engine requires 9.2 sec. D5 diesel engine is equipped with two turbochargers of different sizes: first, the work enters a turbine, and load it connects to another, resulting in improved power in a wider range of speeds. The motor produces 205 hp. with. and 420 Nm of torque and accelerates the S60 sedan to 100 km / h in 7.8 seconds. Maximum speed - 235 km / h. At the same diesel with manual transmission eats just 5.9 l/100 km. Later the line filled up with diesel DRIVe sverhekonomichnoy version with 1.6-liter engine producing 115 hp. with. and a torque of 270 Nm with a 6-speed manual transmission. With modest performance diesels engine boasts an impressive economy - 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Emissions of CO2 - less than 115 g / km. And of course, a Volvo be without advanced security systems? Thanks to the new sensor, which measures the angle of heel, dynamic stabilization system and traction control DSTC before entering into business. Traction control system at the turn allows the car to run smoother rotation, podtormazhivaya wheel on the inside of the trajectory of rotation, while the outer wheel receives more traction. In addition, the new S60 is equipped with a pedestrian detection system with automatic braking. It signals the driver about the risk of a collision with a pedestrian. If the driver does not react to the warning, the car brakes itself. Volvo expects to sell 90,000 cars a year. Production of the new Volvo S60 will be deployed at the factory of Swedish companies in the city of Ghent (Belgium). The first buyers will get cars early in the summer of 2010. And finally good news. The sale of Volvo Chinese company Geely postponed. It would be good forever.
