To celebrate the Volvo Ocean Race and the fleet's recent arrival in Auckland at the end of leg four, Volvo Car Australia has announced a range of Volvo Ocean Race Limited Edition vehicles.
The vehicles get a stack of equipment added to the Teknik models, dressing them up with special branding.
Based on the Volvo V60 T5 Teknik, XC60 D5 Teknik and XC70 D5 Teknik, the limited edition models add sport 18-inch alloy wheels, aluminium inlays to the centre stack, Volvo Ocean Race-branded tread plates and load covers.
There are also 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.
V60 T5 Volvo Ocean Race is priced from $59,990, XC60 D5 Volvo Ocean Race from $65,990 and XC70 D5 Volvo Ocean Race from $68,450.
This is the fourth time Volvo's Special Vehicles Division has launched a specially-designed model range with a sail racing theme. The Volvo Ocean Race is the toughest 'blue water' yacht race in the world.
Covering more than 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.
