Volvo is apparently working on a new C30 model for Europe. It seems to be a 300 horspower C30 AWD version for the European market.

It’s said to sport the same engine that Ford Focus RS has, a 2.5 liter inline-five cylinder turbo engine. The new C30 will have a Haldex all-wheel drive system, large 20 inch wheels and a special body kit to lower the whole car.

From what we’ve heard so far only about 4,500 units will be made worldwide so stay informed in order not to miss it.
