Volvo unveils Evolve, Heico, IPD custom C30s
Volvo today unveiled three customized C30 hatchbacks at the SEMA car show. The Evolve C30 AWD focuses on raw performance, with an impressive 507 horsepower, massive tires, race-inspired suspension, gigantic brakes, sequential twin turbos, exotic exhaust plumbing, an advanced heat exchanger and a screaming yellow high gloss paint scheme. Inside are highly bolstered seats, a safety structure and custom leather touches.
A joint collaboration between German tuner Heico Sportiv and Burton Snowboards, Heico C30 promises those with an active lifestyle the "ultimate lifestyle vehicle." The 300 horsepower AWD C30 features a height adjustable suspension, custom cut Toyo tires and a complex six layer camouflage paint job. Inside, there's a portable GPS system and gleaming 2008 Burton snowboards and boots.
High tech and high style come through in the International Product Development (IPD) SEMA C30, all draped in the colors of the Swedish flag. Producing 384 horsepower, the ipd C30 retains its factory front-drive layout and offers plenty of electronic fun and a thoroughly custom fabricated interior, highlighted by a touch screen in the floating center stack and a heads-up instrument display. The icing on the cake is the fully functioning gull-wing style doors. Gallery after the jump…

Overall, I like the EVOLVE one the best, but it's still got some serious issues. That front airdam/spoiler needs some work. Placement of the exhaust system is certainly one of the more unique locations I have seen.

2008 Heico Sportiv Volvo C30
From Leftlanenews...
German auto-tuner Heico Sportiv has unveiled its Heico Sportiv Volvo C30 at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Like the S80 revealed earlier, Heico Sportiv has upgrade just about every part on the C30. The turbocharged T5 engine makes an even 300 horsepower in the Heico Sportiv C30, good for a 0-100 km/h time of 5.4 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph.
The Heico Sportiv C30 also has upgraded an upgraded suspension, wheels and brakes — featuring a 4-pot sport brake system and sport pads — as well as integrated spoiler flaps, three larger front air ducts and integrated fog and cornering lights. The tuned C30 also wears a unique body kit — with an integrated quad-exhaust system — and a surf-pattern design theme. The orange color of the surf-pattern is continued to the interior with orange-colored carpets, seatbelt and leather.

Even with FWD, pending the inclusion of a LSD transaxle and a MAJOR butt-lift, I could really get into one of those C30s. But the rear is so horrifically ugly as it is, I could care less if in its stock form, it could smoke an Enzo, because it really is just that bad enough to still turn it down.
