Its potency has been revised to decline, and now "only" pays 180 horses, though with a strong torque of 350 Nm. At first the D5 will be coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission, thanks to which you can reach 0 to 100 in 9.5 seconds, and offer a combined consumption of 7.3 liters per 100 km.

Specially adapted to the new Volvo C70
At first, the new D5 engine was developed for the larger Volvo cars (Volvo S60, VolvoV70, VolvoXC70 and VolvoXC90). It is manufactured at the plant that Volvo Cars is in Skövde (Sweden) and has been adapted for the new Volvo C70, which is more compact. This is the same engine, but with a power and a couple slightly lower. In addition, the installation of the engine and nearly all the ancillary functions have been adapted to the engine compartment, the smallest-new Volvo C70. For example, the manifold and turbocharger have been combined into a single unit.
With the D5 engine, it adds a new dimension to the experience of driving the "coupe and cabriolet in a" Volvo. The new Volvo C70 D5 becomes a viable alternative to the T5 model for customers who give priority to comfort and fuel economy without giving up a sport performance.
The D5 engine has a cylinder capacity of 2.4 liters. With a maximum power of 180 hp (132 kW), offers some magnificent high-speed resources. The pair reached the impressive number of 350 Nm, which offers a power efficient and rapid response to both low and high revolutions. The new Volvo C70 D5 accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds (preliminary data).
Fuel consumption is moderate for a vehicle with a high yield of the D5 engine. The preliminary figure for a mixed driving by road / town is 7.3 liters per 100 km. At first, the engine comes with an automatic five-speed.
Comfort diesel even without the hood
"The new Volvo C70 offers a supreme driving experience, not least in the long journeys," says Patrik Widerstrand, project new Volvo C70. "In the long distances, many customers prefer a vehicle with a diesel engine, for driving comfort and fuel economy. Now, for the first time, we can offer this in a cabriolet. And we do it with a Turbo advanced technology in many respects is perceived as a gasoline engine and it offers great power and responsiveness. "
The current D5 engine has also been designed to provide acceptable noise levels, which contributes to the pleasure of driving when the hood is lowered.

Turbocharger to regulate electronic
The D5 engine features a turbo-art, electronically controlled to regulate quickly and accurately filling pressure. A large compressor wheel provides a high torque and power. Shovels variables have been placed with a view to encouraging a flow of fuel efficient and high efficiency. The result is a vigorous acceleration and a good performance at high speeds.
The accommodation of the turbo is cooled with water, something unusual in diesel engines. This provides a continuous cooling when the engine is turned off. This is a feature especially important during short stops after high-speed film, such as when refueling German motorways.
The turbo electronic control reinforces the power without assessing a threshold torque, which helps to improve driving comfort.

Injection with variable rotation
The air was whirl in the combustion chambers of the cylinders. A butterfly is used to regulate the free movement of turbulence and combustion is in line with a very precise accuracy to the driving conditions and engine load at the time. The large combustion chambers reduce the compression, which causes a high performance and low emissions.
The injection system has injectors with seven nozzles. This produces a mixture of fine fuel spray and combustion efficient. The injection is carried out in three steps: pre-injection, main injection and post injection. The last step burning particles of soot from the exhaust.
A combustion system with electronic control reduces the times of combustion and facilitates the task of starting the engine in cold weather.

Management system, high-capacity
The D5 engine management system incorporates the latest generation, with high capacity and a large number of sensors that ensure an extremely precise control of the functions of the engine. Among other things, whether the butterfly as the EGR valve recirculation of exhaust gases are electronically controlled to ensure a precise control of the air supply and recirculation of exhaust gases.
An EGR cooler reduces the temperature of combustion in a very effective and also emissions.
The catalytic converter is connected close to the engine to heat it quickly and start the cleanup process. Has been supplemented with an oxygen sensor that precisely regulates the fuel mixture and emissions.
new Volvo C70
Particulate filter as standard
The D5 engine features a particulate filter as standard filter that achieves more than 95% of soot particles from the exhaust. The filter is a CDPF (diesel particulate filter coated), ie a special coating helps burn the particulates. No additives are needed or maintenance. The regeneration process of burning-particle soot in the filter lasts about 20 minutes and is performed automatically every 500-1,000 km, depending on the driving conditions.
"The new Volvo C70 D5 is a car for enthusiasts who want everything in one" says Patrik Widerstrand. "An attractive convertible that also offers a real roof, a sensational handling and driving a line that combines high performance and power across the engine speed range, not to mention the fabulous comfort in driving and the interesting fuel economy" .

Interesting, huh?
Secondly, the occupant safety systems are designed exclusively for the configuration of the roof of the Volvo C70 convertible. As the impacts can not be beamed to the roof, the design consists of a specific network of beams, reinforcements, crossbars and screens complemented with a single side airbag that expands as a curtain from inside the gates, instead of Traditional, which appear from the roof. System ROPS Volvo has been adjusted to this new version of the Volvo C70. The steel bars which jumping behind the rear seats in case of coup are now faster, thanks to a pyrotechnic load, and have been redesigned to pass through the rear glass if the roof is raised.

If there is a part of the car that never ceases to amaze me with each of its incarnations, this is the rigid hood. It seems that all the engineers consider a challenge to design a folding hard roof to be closed with more style than the previous one.
