Heico Sportiv Volvo S80

German car tuner Heico Sportiv has officially unveiled its upcoming version of the Volvo S80. Bowing this week at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Heico Sportiv has massaged 350 horsepower out of the S80’s turbocharged in-line six engine using biofuel E85. The result is a 0-60 time of about 5.8 seconds.

Heico Sportiv has also added larger rims and tires, flared-out wheel arches, LED headlights, larger air ducts and integrated spoiler flaps. The tuned S80 also sports a metallic-look paint job that requires seven layers of paint.

That’s gorgeous. I wonder if they’ve managed to improve the chassis dynamics and the steering feel at all?

Very tasteful. Performance is little weak though. 5.8 secs is hardly impressive nowadays.

Pretty, and I love that paint job. But I would never buy a Volvo if I wanted a high performance sedan.

Nice looker.
350hp from a tuborcharged 6 is weak imo.

Not bad….if it came like this from the factory, I would consider it over an A6 or a 5 series

It’s still just some POS Ford. Check out the Turbo X if you want a real performer.

Very nice looking sedan, I’ve always liked the S80 even if I would never buy a Volvo.

How heavy is it though? 5.8s to 60 from 350 horsepower seems a bit underwhelming.

For a Volvo, it looks really good and skulpted… Not overdone, aside from the wheels maybe, but not to timid.
