While all the buzz right now is on the Frankfurt auto show, keep in mind that SEMA is also just around the corner. And with that in mind Volvo plans on showing two mighty spicy cars. The first being an S80 that is powered by a 380hp bioethanol engine, which are hooked up to a sport suspension and AWD. Volvo claims a 5.8 second sprint from 0-62 mph...
The second is a C30 that sports a 300hp T5 that will go 0-62 mph in only 5.4 seconds. The car rides 40mm lower than a stock C30 thanks to a tweaked suspension. In addition the brakes have been given a serious upgrade.

Does that C30 have AWD? It's all that's missing from the MazdaSpeed3.
The S80 tries so hard to be sporty, I just don't see Volvo fitting in to that image.

ooooo, a C30R. An S80R would be awesome too.
