Volvo is bringing the Ocean Race XC60 limited edition model to the United States, with the vehicle’s debut taking place at the Miami International Auto Show (November 7-16).
Already available in Europe alongside the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60, V70 and XC70, the Ocean Race XC60 limited edition model pays tribute to the men and women racing across the oceans in the Volvo Ocean Race sailing competition.
Compared to the standard Volvo XC60, the Ocean Race model features special design elements including the distinctive “Ocean Blue II” exterior color, black or blonde leather interior with orange stitching and exclusive 18-inch wheels.
Other specific features include inscribed “Volvo Ocean Race” tread plate, Volvo Ocean Race exterior emblem on front fenders, Volvo Ocean Race deco inlay, start-up logo in Sensus screen, orange stitching on door panels, floor mats and luggage compartment mat with orange stitching and Volvo Ocean Race rubber tag.
In the United States, the Volvo Ocean Race XC60 is available with both the T6 Drive-E FWD and T6 AWD versions, with prices starting at $42,100 and $43,600, respectively.
The 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race started in Alicante, Spain on October 4, 2014 and will end in Gothenburg, Sweden in June 2015. 66 of the world’s top sailors will race 38,739 nautical miles around the world – almost twice the circumference of the Earth. The only U.S. stop on the journey will be in Newport, Rhode Island, around May 5-9, 2015. The in-port race will take place on May 16.
