    Central to the S90 and V90 R-Design is an advanced sport chassis that

delivers an energetic, road-hugging drive.

    "R-Design delivers an edge to our elegant estate and sedan models in our 90

Series, with a winning combination of a sportier, more responsive, drive with

clearly visible performance styling," said Bjorn Annwall, Senior Vice President

Marketing Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Cars.

    Sporting a new front-end design with spoiler-integrated fog lights, the

R-Design models come with a unique grille and piano black trim on both front

and rear. A new 5-spoke matt black diamond-cut wheel adds to the performance

feel.

    A wide range of styling cues are included on the inside - from unique deco

trim, pedals and mats, to the sporty contour seats and special steering wheel,

including a high level interior illumination package that radiates attention to

detail.

    Order books are now open for the S90 and V90 R-Design models.
