New colours for 2006 'R'

basher · Jun 8th, 2005, 10:46

Has anyone seen or know if we are getting the 2 new colours Volvo have chosen to replace Flash Green & Silver? I think the new colours are called Electric Silver and Sonic Blue on the latest '06 R

Lovely colours, now its just time that somone knocked some sense into the marketing department at VCUK so that they price the 'R' cars more realistically. I must say Flash Green is one of those 'love-hate' things and there will always be 2 distinct groups. However, from a sales perspective, it was notable that dealers who got Flash Green cars had a fair bit of difficulty shifting them, especially those with the orange interior.

Well, these will be the last 'R's in current spec so lets hope a few more make it onto the road before the new ones arrive.

I've heard that the the 2006 models are getting a 30bhp power increase aswell, don't know if its true or not.

Hopefully the power increase will live up to Volvo's claims that the car is a "rival" to the M3. Come on Volvo. You have fitted AWD so follow Audi and stick some crazy power in the R's! 400bhp maybe?
