Heico Sportiv works over the 2011 Volvo S60, Offers Power Boost for 2.0T and T6 Models


We've already had a first look at Heico Sportiv's package of goodies for the all-new 2011 Volvo S60, but the German company finally released a full set of photos and details surrounding its tuning program that includes styling and performance enhancements for the Swedish sedan.
Heico Sportive starts by upgrading the S60's exterior with a two-piece front spoiler, a rear diffuser that's optionally available with carbon fiber inlays and a discreet boot lid spoiler. The sedan is also lowered and fitted with sport springs, a four-tail pipe sport exhaust system and 18- or 20-inch inch alloy rims wrapped in low-profile rubber. Interior options are limited to aluminum pedal set, footrest and gear shift knob.
Under the hood, the tuner offers ECU upgrades for both the S60 2.0T and T6 petrol models. The 2.0-liter turbo engine receives a 47bhp and 50Nm boost for a total of 297bhp and 350Nm of peak torque.
In the AWD T6 version, output is lifted to 330bhp and 463Nm, which allows the Swedish sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.8 seconds (down from the standard car's 6.8 sec) and reach an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph).
The German aftermarket company said it is also readying a recalibrated ECU for the T3, T4 and T5 variants of the new S60.
