First introduced in 2003, Volvo's S60 R used a Haldex all-wheel-drive system mated to a 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) / 400 N·m (300 ft·lbf) inline-5. The 2004–2005 models came with a 6-speedmanual transmission, or an available 5-speed automatic which allowed 258 lb·ft (350 N·m) torque in 1st and 2nd gears. Other aspects which set the R apart from standard S60s were the large Brembo front and rear four-piston brakes, 18" 5 spoke "Pegasus" wheels were A $1000 upgrade Option from the factory with 17" as a no cost option, blue faced "R" gauges, standard HID headlights, as well as the Four-C suspension system. Four-C (a short name for "Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept") allows the user to select from three modes: Comfort, Sport, and Advanced. "Comfort" attempts to soften the car over bumps, while "Advanced" firms the suspension considerably and gives more aggressive throttle response - a setting Volvo implies is for use on the race track. This is accomplished through a drive by wirethrottle, allowing the same pedal travel to result in different performance when the appropriate mode is selected, electronically-controlled shock absorbers that can adjust themselves 500 times a second, and a complex series of sensors throughout the body of the vehicle. Volvo collaborated with high-tech system developer Ohlins Racing AB and shock absorber manufacturer Monroe for the self-adjusting shock absorbers. The S60/V70 R's had 3 interior seat,carpet/door inserts color options, Nordkap (metallic dark blue) Gobi (light tan metallic) and the new 'R' only leather option, Atacama, was introduced for an additional $1500 factory option price tag above the first two standard leather options. It was a unpainted, orangish in color, natural leather with a baseball glove thickness and feel. The small trunk lid spoiler that was standard on the S60 R created a 20% increased downforce at the rear wheels at high speeds compared to the standard S60's. The S60 R's have a .29 coeffient drag compared to the standard S60's .28, due to the larger, lower front bumper spoiler to support the secondary intercooler. Another Volvo factory option for only the S60 R was a bodykit which included front bumper splitters, side skirts and rear valance, color matched to the body for a tune of $2000. The bodykit was only available on certain colors. This Volvo S60R was adult driven and never taken out in the snow and very seldom in the rain.
