To understand Volvo and racing you have to understand the region that Volvo calls home. That's exactly what team Polestar did recently with their Australian racing team. Enjoy...

Volvo Versus Lambo

Image
Gentlemen...start your engineering! In this head-to-head match up we pit the 2015 Volvo S60 T5 Drive-E against the 2015 Lamborghini Aventador. One makes an amazing 107 horsepower per liter and the other one makes an even more impressive 120 horsepower per liter...that one would be the Volvo. Yes...the $33,300 Volvo S60 makes more power per liter than the $392,990 Lamborghini. True, the Lamborghini will win a race against the Volvo S60 T5...but it won't return 37 miles per gallon like the Volvo S60 (for reference, the Lamborghini will return up to 17 miles per gallon). Even better, the Volvo S60 T5 gets all of this done without the added cost of diesel or hybrid technology. Oh, and that 240 horsepower and 37 miles per gallon doesn't require premium fuel. And that's the true beauty about the Volvo S60 T5 Drive-E. It packs a powerful punch...and saves you fuel. Consider it the best of both worlds. The Lamborghini on the other hand...well, let's just say its good at

A Volvo by any other color...

When you look at most dealership lots you will see a lot of grey, silver, black and white vehicles. The reason is relatively simple...these are among the most popular colors for the masses. Cars that are lighter in color are also easier to maintain and hide dirt and scratches more than very dark cars. In fact, last year white remained as the most popular color for vehicles in the United States (and globally) according to paint supplier PPG. For those who truly want to stand apart from the crowd though, Volvo has offered some very neat colors over the years...and this year is no exception as Volvo continues to offer Passion Red, Rebel Blue and the new Rich Java Metallic. A lot of Volvo drivers appreciate a vehicle that is different from the average car...and some of them choose to further enhance that appreciation by choosing a color that you are not going to see everyday. So while there are a lot of cars on the road in typical standard colors, you can rely on Volvo

The Next Collector's Volvo: S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar

Future car collectors, consider this your warning. The Volvo S60 Polestar and Volvo V60 Polestar are going to be unleashed this summer and the numbers are impressive....345 horsepower, 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, and a production of only total 120 vehicles. That's right...rare indeed. Lehman Volvo York www.lehmanvolvoyork.com Lehman Volvo Mechanicsburg www.lehmanvolvo.com

What Kind of Wagon would a Rebel Drive?

Image
Rebels and wagons...two things that people don't normally associate with each other. Well, that has changed, thanks to Volvo. What you see here is a 2015 Volvo V60 R-Design in Rebel Blue. Its an appropriate name for a very unique color on a very unique car. So what sets the V60 R-Design apart? Lets start with sport suspension, big bolstered seats that hug you in any corner, and of course horsepower...lots of it. 325 to be exact. And all those horses ride on all-wheel-drive with sporty alloy wheels. So, yes...a rebel can drive a wagon. And since a wagon isn't for everyone, doesn't that make it a perfect fit?

Special Delivery…to your Volvo?

Image
  In another step towards simplifying daily life, Volvo has announced a technological concept that could result in online orders being sent directly to your vehicle. The service, which will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, will allow consumers to have their shopping delivered straight to their car, no matter where they are. Volvo’s new digital keys technology means that car owners will be able to choose their car as a delivery option when ordering goods online. Via a smartphone or a tablet, the owner will be informed when a delivery company wants to drop off or pick up something from the car. Having accepted the delivery, he or she then hands out a digital key and can track when the car is opened and then locked again. Once the pick-up or drop-off is completed, the digital key ceases to exist. The system is based on the functionality of the telematics app Volvo On Call, which, among other things, makes it possible to remotely heat or cool the c
