ON THE ROAD
THE RARE COMBINATION OF
PERFORMANCE, ALERTNESS AND STABILITY
MAKES IT EASY TO ENJOY LIFE BEHIND THE
WHEEL OF A VOLVO C70. BECAUSE IT IS
ONLY IN A CAR WHERE YOU FEEL SAFE
THAT YOU CAN ENJOY PURE DRIVING
PLEASURE.
The Volvo C70 has front-wheel drive. A
torsionally rigid body combined with
broad track and our patented rear
suspension, Delta-link, give both a firm
grip on the road and a superb ride
comfort. The rear axle allows the rear
wheels to steer slightly so that they can
work together with the front wheels when
entering a curve. The result is remarkably
swift steering response, together with
control throughout the turn.
STC ANTI-SPIN SYSTEM
With STC (Stability and Traction Control),
you have even greater stability on slippery
roads. If one or both of the drive wheels
starts to spin, the torque is restricted
instantaneously so that the wheel can
regain its grip. STC also makes sure that
you can get moving more easily if you
have to start off on a slippery surface. It
gives enhanced stability when cornering
and reduces understeer when
accelerating out of a curve. The system
works at all speeds - via the braking
system at low speeds, and by reducing
the engine torque at higher speeds.
