Volvo unveils Evolve, Heico, IPD custom C30s
Volvo today unveiled three customized C30 hatchbacks at the SEMA car show. The Evolve C30 AWD focuses on raw performance, with an impressive 507 horsepower, massive tires, race-inspired suspension, gigantic brakes, sequential twin turbos, exotic exhaust plumbing, an advanced heat exchanger and a screaming yellow high gloss paint scheme. Inside are highly bolstered seats, a safety structure and custom leather touches.
A joint collaboration between German tuner Heico Sportiv and Burton Snowboards, Heico C30 promises those with an active lifestyle the "ultimate lifestyle vehicle." The 300 horsepower AWD C30 features a height adjustable suspension, custom cut Toyo tires and a complex six layer camouflage paint job. Inside, there's a portable GPS system and gleaming 2008 Burton snowboards and boots.
High tech and high style come through in the International Product Development (IPD) SEMA C30, all draped in the colors of the Swedish flag. Producing 384 horsepower, the ipd C30 retains its factory front-drive layout and offers plenty of electronic fun and a thoroughly custom fabricated interior, highlighted by a touch screen in the floating center stack and a heads-up instrument display. The icing on the cake is the fully functioning gull-wing style doors.

Interesting tire tread ... don't like the rear though ...
When will they build 360 degree calipers?

That yellow Evolve is NUTZ! Front end extends a little too far out but I like it. Cool looking exhaust tips coming out the rear qtr panel even if that is a photoshop.

This is typical SEMA SH*T for no-brainers that wear their trousers 5 sizes to big, hanging down their asses!!!
Those yellow calipers cry out "UNSPRUNG WEIGHT!!!!!". Yeah, real good handling. And what are they doing with 305 wide tires on the rear of a front-wheel-drive car?
And the blue one.... kitted out with NOs, but featuring p*ss-poor single piston calipers.

You sure, that this is photoshop?
I also think it's a cool and creative idea...
