Little after the market introduction of the all-new V70 and XC70 models, Volvo tuning specialist “Heico Sportiv” came out with a complete program for the two Swedish estates. Apart from the exterior and interior upgrades that include a subtle bodykit, bi-color leather seats and aluminum pedals, Heico offers an engine kit for the V70 / XC70 2.4D and D5 models which increases output in both cases to 210 Hp (from 163 and 185 Hp respectively). For the 2.4D, D5, 2.5T, 3.2 and 3.2 AWD models Heico offers a twin-outlet exhaust system while specifically for the V70 T6 there’s a four pipe exhaust system. As for the chassis, Heico’s program includes suspension and brake upgrades that can be combined with a wide variety of 18, 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels. -More pics after the jump

Lexmaul Tweaks the Volvo V70 2.0D

The diesel-powered V70 2.0D ain't exactly the first Volvo model that leaps to mind when it comes to tuning, but this hasn't stopped Lexmaul from introducing a rather subtle performance kit for the Swedish estate. The German tuning firm's package is limited to an upgraded ECU that kicks output from 136HP and 320Nm up to 166HP and 390Nm of torque, and a set of sport springs that lowers the V70's suspension by 30mm.

Volvo V70 RWD V8 Pickup Truck Renderings

In the imaginary land of photoshop and its ilk, everything is possible - even a V8 powered, rear-wheel drive pickup truck version of Volvo's V70 estate in the likes of the Holden Commodore Ute / Pontiac G8 ST. These computer generated images (CGIs for short) were sent to Carscoop by an 'old' acquaintance of ours, Bo Zolland from Sweden who has created many CGIs in the past including the Corvette Stingray- and Audi R8-themed speed boats. Follow the jump to check out the rest of the gallery or click here to get a taste of a real-life Volvo XC70 pickup truck that was spotted right outside the Swedish-firm's museum in Gothenburg.
