Last year K-Pax won the SCCA World Challenge GT series with a pair of S60s and this year, the team decided to expand with a set of C30 race cars. We thought that was cool enough, but the team has just made even greater news. There will soon be a K-Pax C30 for the street, and it was just shown at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
The C30 GT, as it'll be called, is based on the 2011 C30 R-Design, but with some desirable changes in all the right spots. That includes wheels, tires, a high-flow exhaust, brakes, suspension, and adjustable engine software capable of 280 horsepower, all inspired by parts developed for the team's race cars.
Only 500 examples will be produced, each individually numbered. The best news is that the cars will still be fully warrantied for five years or 60,000 miles. They'll be sold through select Volvo dealers in the US starting in July, though the cost has not yet been announced. We expect Volvo itself will release more information soon, and we really hope a hopped-up S60 is on the way as well.
