New Volvo S60 Global Launch - Lisbon, Portugal

Volvo Military Sales – Autovillage had the pleasure and honour of attending the New S60 Global Launch in Lisbon, Portugal (10th – 12th July). The sales team, Andrew, Kevin, Lilia, Anthony and Terry (our newest addition to the team) joined VCIC agents from across the globe to be introduced to Volvo’s best Sedan to date.

The New Volvo S60 boasts some outstanding new technology including a world first for City Safety and Pedestrian Safety Systems (video can be found on this blog). Having been introduced to these systems from a classroom point of view the team had the chance to sit behind the wheel of the powerful T6 engine (300 bhp) and take it for a spin. This consisted of two sections:

1: The local test drive. This took us up into the mountains around the Lisbon area to take in the beautiful scenery and to get a real feel for the cars ability to handle the small, winding roads. You also found yourself gliding effortlessly over the uneven surfaces as you drove through one of the several local villages alone the route; truly an enjoyable experience from start to end.

2: The real test drive! Now for those who like to test their driving skills to the limit, this was the perfect chance. Volvo had set up their base of operations for the event at the near by Estoril Circuit which once held F1 races but now holds the Moto GP every year. We were able to get to know the car a little better in terms of driving dynamics as we sheppard around the course by our very own professional rally drivers. Once we had sufficiently scared our driver with the poor driving abilities on show (or annoyed, I’m not quite sure) we swapped seats for a true demo on how it’s done. Let’s just say it handles very well at high speeds and adapts to the situations smoothly without the driver having to fight it to keep on the right line.

Overall it was a great event from start to finish and Volvo have beyond doubt created a new generation of Volvo’s in the New Volvo S60.
