Autopartswarehouse.com: Twilight Cars Review Part II

Are you ready for the next car featured in the “Twilight”? Next stop is Edward Cullen’s Volvo S60R in silver splendor. There was this scene in the movie when Bella was walking home alone. Suddenly there were guys blocking her way. It was clear they had bad intentions. But before things got to worse, a car came screeching down the corner. It came to a grinding halt right before the bad guys. Clearly, they were startled, as was Bella. Edward unfolded his length from the driver’s seat. With barely leashed fury he came face to face with the bad guys. His anger was barely controlled and there was already something primitive about his stance as he snarled at them. The bad guys realized they are dealing something different so they immediately scampered. Bella and Edward got inside the car but before they drove off Edward threatened running over the guys which scared them off all the more.

 

 

That was a great scene. It was also a great car – Volvo S60R. This car is a very stylish one and is made with extensive safety engineering. It has sleek, fastback profile. The bumper is smoother and less angular than previous S60 models. Its impressive qualities are not merely skin-deep. Under the hood is a powerful 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine that produces 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It is matched with continuously variable valve timing for both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Twin intercoolers are also installed in the car to ease the load of the engine’s turbocharger. Other features include the all-wheel drive system, six-speed Geartronic transmission option in place of the former 5-speed unit. It also comes with Four C (Continuously Control Chassis Concept) active chassis system that compensates for road variances.  

 

Aside from excellent performance, the Volvo S60R is also quite comfortable. It has a Comfort mode and Sport mode that enables the vehicle to travel smoothly even over road bumps. There is more space in front than in the rear. Those who sit at the back will surely notice the limited leg room. The front seat must be pushed well forward to provide more space at the back.

 

The Volvo S60R driven by Edward Cullen in the movie is really a very stylish one that is why it was easily noticed. No doubt, if you drive one you will also get noticed on the road. Simply impressive that’s the right word for the Volvo S60R and the movie.
