As indulgent and spirited as its sibling Coupe, the 2005 C70 Convertible forms a marriage of turbocharged sensuousness and traditional Volvo safety.
The C70 Convertible provides turbocharged power, coupled with all the inherent safety you should expect from a Volvo.
For Safety
With its unique safety features, nothing is compromised on the 2005 C70 Convertible.
Unlike any other Volvo, the 2005 C70 Convertible, lacking a steel roof, offers unique safety features incorporated in a single system called the Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS).
Volvo's High-Strength Steel Safety Cage and an arsenal of other safety features are designed to help protect passengers in the event of a collision. Energy-absorbing structures in the front and rear of the occupant safety cage progressively yield as the force of impact moves toward the safety cage. Patented by Volvo, the SIPS design helps protect occupants from side impact collisions with a sophisticated and comprehensive system of reinforced steel profiles for added strength.
Volvo C70 Power
With the 2005 C70 Convertible's infinite headroom and athletic power, the experience is nothing short of indulgent.
