Volvo struts its Heico Sportiv connection

What’s Inside

While the C30 concept had orange swathed on nearly every available surface, the S80 concept goes with a cool blue color. It’s still a little much, but if you’re going to go with monochromatic, blue is probably better than retina-shredding orange. We especially like the door sills with their glowing Heico Sportiv logos and the silver carbon-fiber trim used on the Volvo-signature “waterfall” center stack and the console between the rear bucket seats. The leather steering wheel and shift knob are also nice touches. Considering the starkness of the stock S80 cabin, maybe some of these touches should be available from the factory.
