2011 Tuning car Volvo S60 Being Sprayed

Volvo has a reputation for engineering ultra safe cars and that includes the latest S60. World class safety features are standard such as a Side Impact Protection System where the strong side structure of the vehicle helps to absorb a severe side impact. The vehicle was designed with pedestrian safety in mind; the front of the car is smooth and clean lines and a low engine position to help minimize the impact with pedestrians and cyclists if an accident were to happen. Even the steering wheel is collapsible in case of an accident in order to prevent bodily harm to the driver. The anti-submarining feature prevents passengers from sliding under their seatbelts during severe impact. Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver if the car is swerving and Driver Alert Control helps to prevent collisions due to driver fatigue. This car will feature Volvo's groundbreaking Collision Warning system with Full Auto brake which actually detects pedestrians and automatically applies brake pressure when there is an imminent collision, even if the driver fails to brake on time.

There are many sweet options available such as a portable touch screen navigation system with 3D graphics with turn by turn directions. A Rear Seat Entertainment System available with dual DVD players. This system consists of two LCD monitors and DVD players situated right into the headrest, perfect for long road trips.

The S60 packs in so many great features for a luxury car; it's sporty, super safe since it's a Volvo and has been redesigned and buttoned up to be slicker and more dynamic than ever. With a base price of around $38k you get a luxury car that was built with safety in mind. If you want a good looking safe car, then this might just be the ideal car for you!

Volvo Art Session is the name of an experiment done by Volvo Cars Switzerland, in which ten street artists were provided with an S60 sedan that they could use as a canvas to create different designs.

The snow-white Volvo S60 was painted, sprayed and designed during five days in Zurich's main railway station. The live art happening took place in front of a white dropback canvas and attracted the attention of more than 35,000 commuters, who stopped by to see the unusual art show. "Our intention with this art project was to express and emphasize in a creative and innovative way the design of the Volvo S60", says Anouk Poelmann, President of Volvo Cars Switzerland.

While the S60 was being given ten different personalities, a high-end camera took one shot of the artwork every 10 seconds. The result is a 3-minute film you can check out below.
