THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN A VOLVO. THERE’S THE DEDICATION TO ACHIEVEMENT
AND THE LUXURY OF FULFILMENT. THERE’S THE INVESTMENT OF TRUST AND THE
RETURN OF RESPECT. THERE’S THE CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM AND THE COMFORT
OF SECURITY. THERE’S THE LOVE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAUTY OF LOVE. THERE’S THE
PURSUIT OF DISTINCTION AND THERE’S THE CONFIDENCE OF DRIVING SOMETHING OTHER
THAN ANOTHER CLICHÉ. THAT’S WHY the VOLVO S80 IS MORE THAN A LUXURY CAR.

Volvo. for life

Imagine, just for a moment, a car as beautiful as it is gifted;
A car endowed with power, control and an understanding of what
goes on around it. Assume that it shares these gifts with its
driver. The tensions of a dangerous route become fewer. The joy
of an unwritten road becomes greater. And the prospect of
a perfect drive becomes a real probability.

The meticulous attention to detail
includes the road ahead.
This Volvo S80 delivers the royal treatment – 21st century style. Technologically speaking, scouts
run ahead, check the road, and report back. At work are digital video and radar-based predictive
technologies – Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Warning with Auto Brake (CWAB)
– which monitor the cars in front and adjust power delivery and braking intuitively. This onboard
intelligence is available to help you negotiate traffic in terms most favourable to you and your
passengers – helping you to keep a safe distance. The creature comforts and thoughtful amenities
throughout the cabin also seem to anticipate and satisfy your every need – even the remote
key fob, the Personal Car Communicator (PCC), can help keep you in touch with your car’s status:
locked, unlocked, occupied? Call it a sixth sense, second sight or intuition; no one predicted
intelligence would travel like this.

Volvo’s advanced driving system helps make driving more comfortable. Now supplemented with a digital video camera to help examine
the road ahead, it is possible for the Volvo S80 to discern stationary objects from other road users and to register lane markings. If you are
ever distracted or tired, the car’s ability to identify your lane – and any stationary vehicles in your lane – can help you reach your destination
without incident. But please note: Even these sophisticated systems – Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Driver Alert Control (DAC) and the
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) – have limitations. It is the driver’s responsibility to remain alert at all times.

Intelligence creates its own momentum.

Power and control. How often do you find them in
perfect accord? In all its petrol, flexifuel and diesel
variants, the Volvo S80 offers fluid performance.
The drivetrain and chassis perform as one. Acceleration
is never delayed. And liveliness is assured by immediate
response throughout the entire rev range. Volvo’s
premium source of diesel power, the 205hp D5,
exploits state-of-the-art sequential twin-turbo technology
to deliver enormous capacity with superior refinement.
There is even a brilliant DRIVe diesel available with
the lowest C02emissions for luxury cars in this class
(119 g/km). With advanced, hyper-efficient fuel
management systems, each available Volvo engine
maximises performance in the smartest way possible.

It doesn’t just devour highway,
it knows which fork to use.
Experience sophistication and refinement where it matters most: on the road. Here, the advanced chassis displays impeccable
manners. Defined by high torsional-rigidity, wide stance and a long wheelbase, the Volvo S80 chassis is a faithful interpreter of road
and driver. Its multi-link rear suspension counteracts any tendency to understeer while the McPherson front suspension struts promote
superior comfort. Above and beyond the manifestation of comfort and performance that’s standard in the Volvo S80, the lowered
Sport chassis delivers impressive agility and balance. With it you’ll experience quicker steering and a sure, planted feeling at all
times, in all corners. Devour miles of highway with grace and then relish the twists and turns that lead you home in time for dinner.
Bon appétit.
