The Volvo Ocean Race is the toughest 'blue water' yacht race in the
world.
Covering over 39,200 nautical miles in nine months, six crews will race across six continents and four oceans in
innovative, high-performance carbon-fibre Volvo Open 70 yachts, coping with mountainous seas, extreme temperatures,
icebergs - and the threat of pirates.
To celebrate this epic adventure and the fleet's recent arrival in Auckland at the end of leg four, Volvo Car
Australia has announced the release of a range of Volvo Ocean Race Limited Edition vehicles.
Based on the Volvo V60 T5 Teknik, XC60 D5 Teknik and XC70 D5 Teknik, the Volvo Ocean Race Editions add sport 18"
Argus alloy wheels, aluminium inlays to the centre stack, Volvo Ocean Race-branded tread plates and load covers,
cross-stitched leather upholstery embossed with the Volvo Ocean Race logo, and a choice of Ocean Race Blue II or
Electric Silver metallic paint finishes.
"The Volvo Ocean Race Editions reflect the values that our customers look for when they choose a car: an active
lifestyle, and adventure and passion without compromising safety," says Matt Braid, Managing Director of Volvo Car
Australia.
"There are many features that subtly reference boats and sailing," agrees Lennart Stegland, President of the
Special Vehicles Division at Volvo Car Corporation.
"The stitching on the upholstery traces its roots to sail-making, while the design of the unique wheels has been
inspired by the movement of the ocean's waves."
This is the fourth time Volvo Car Corporation's Special Vehicles Division has launched a specially-designed model
range with a sail racing theme.
