The new Volvo V40 R-Design will be launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
"The V40 R-Design is designed around the performance minded individual with a passion for those things that add extra spice to life. The meticulous attention to detail covers the expressive design as well as the agile, precise performance," says Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president product strategy and vehicle line management at Volvo Car Corporation.
The R-Design front features a silk-metal framed high-gloss grille with re-profiled front bumper and day running lights. The sporty stance is further enhanced with an ironstone rear diffuser, silk-metal finished details and twin exhaust tailpipes. The five-spoke diamond-cut wheels (standard with 17" or can be upgraded to 18") complete the look.
The interior also gains from features such as the embossed R-Design leather/T-Tec upholstery, TFT instrument display, sports steering wheel, sports pedals and unique aluminium inlays.
Those wishing to further enhance their vehicle can upgrade to the R-Design Lux which adds additional features, such as embossed full leather-faced upholstery, active bending xenon headlights with headlight cleaning system, rain sensor, cruise control, keyless start and rear theatre lighting.
Prices will be announced in early October with dealers being able to take orders immediately. Customer deliveries are expected to start during January 2013.

I had a sneak preview of this car and it is awesome. The finish is faultless and the small touches really make it stand out. In fairness the V40 should have been launched in this spec but better late then never!!
