Quite rare now, this elegant coupe designed by Ian Callum was presented at the 1996 Paris Motor Show. It had been developed by TWR for Volvo on the basis of the S70 (ex-850). This comfortable coupe used only very smooth 5-cylinder engines: the car was launched with two turbo engines, 2.5 with 193 horsepower and 2.3 with 240 horsepower. These blocks were replaced in 1999 by a 165 horsepower 2.4 atmospheric and a 193 horsepower turbo version. In May 2000 a 163 horsepower 2.0 turbo was introduced. The C70 was produced until 2002.
