Now it is official. Volvo is launching a new sport package that will be available on the C30, S40 and V50. With this package, Volvo allows the customer to tailor his car to his personal taste &#8230; Under the condition that his tastes are available in the package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11717_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11717_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11717_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><br \/> The customer will have the choice between 10 specific colours. Exterior changes include a satin matt-finish grille, coloured bumpers, lower side mouldings, rear or roof spoiler, satin matt-finish door mirror caps and five-spoke aluminium wheels (17 inches, 18 inches available as option).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11728_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11728_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11728_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><br \/> The interior changes are more obvious with dual-colour and Vulcaflex seats.  Vulcaflex is a material that tries to offer the best of leather and neoprene. It&#8217;s too smooth to be leather but not as rubbery or spongy as neoprene. It doesn&#8217;t sound terribly inviting but on a sunny day it won&#8217;t stick to you. The seats offer a contrast between black and cream. Other interior details include specific blue gauges, leather wheel with the R-Design logo, specially-designed aluminium trim on the dashboard and the inevitable aluminium pedals.<\/p>\n<p>Available on the Sport and SE Sport trims on the C30 and S40, the prices start at \u00a316,600\/\u20ac27,350\/$33,500. The V50 estate starts at \u00a319,995\/\u20ac29,650\/$38,800.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other photos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11725_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11725_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11725_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11718_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11718_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11718_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11727_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11727_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11727_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11721_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11721_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11721_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11727_1_5_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11727_1_5_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11727_1_5_2.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11723_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11723_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11723_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11724_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11724_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11724_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"11716_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11716_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11719_1_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"11719_1_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/11719_1_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was reported here two weeks ago.
