New Volvo Engine: Extreme Power Delivered Efficiently

At our manufacturer, new Volvo parts often aim to please your average urban driver. Volvo's S60 engine is no different. While still in development, this anticipated prototype can be described as " a turbocharged four-cylinder... that accelerates to 100 kmh (62 mph) in 5.5 seconds." (ExtremeTech) While anyone can certainly appreciate that kind of power, some of its more technical features can leave common drivers scratching their heads. But fear not. We at Turner Volvo of Sacramento are here to break it down and explain why this is relevant to you.

The S60 relies on an innovative flywheel system in the rear wheels. When the driver brakes, the momentum charges the flywheel up to 60,000 rpm. This energy is utilized as the driver takes off, adding nearly 80 HP and 25% better fuel economy to the engine. By creating large amounts of power for just a few seconds, a car can get up to speed quickly and safely in fast moving traffic.

Interestingly, this technology also has a potential in racing vehicles. If you are interested, visit ExtremeTech to view a demonstration video and continue to visit our blog for excellent Volvo service.

Volvo s60 - Read About This Breaking Feature!

We all know that the first generation of the Volvo s60, like all Volvo vehicles, has a pristine reputation for active safety features, but the new 2011 redesign catapults this vehicle into a top-tier competitor in all regards.

Among the many new features for the 2011 model of uniquely Volvo innovations is the Pedestrian Detection system, as it's been dubbed. It's similar to Volvo's city safety system, which helps avoid rearenders with other autos in traffic because it recognizes human forms at low speeds and will step in and apply full braking if it feels the driver isn't braking in time.

Just a daily does of Volvo for you Volvo fans and soon to be fans in Sacramento.
