The latest Volvo to emerge from the after market stable is the C3 by MR Sweden Motorsport.
Obvious changes include the aggressive front and rear bumpers, new side skirts and a roof spoiler.

Another welcome addition are the 18-inch ASA five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped with 235mm rubber.
An adjustable sports suspension system can lower the car by an impressive 60mm on the fly.

Modifications to the five-cylinder diesel are few, comprising of a new sports air filter and tuned ECU, which increases power from 138kW to 167kW.
However, the torque figure has risen to an impressive 432Nm which takes the car to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds from a standing start and on to 225km/h.
