Bay Area Volvo consumers are invited to participate in a series of events intended to introduce then to the all new 2011 Volvo S60. Bay Area Volvo shoppers can road test the sleek new Volvo sedan, learn about customizing their new Volvo and enter in we have an exciting giveaway to the program. McKevitt Volvo is offering All-New S60 and an Overseas Delivery trip for the winner to design and customize their vehicle.

“The 2011 Volvo S60 is the most dynamic Volvo we’ve ever produced,” said Jeff Pugliese, VCCC president and CEO. “The S60 offers the world-first Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake technology, which will automatically stop the car if it senses an impending collision with a pedestrian. With a new look, more power and enhanced handling we believe the S60 will surprise Bay Area Volvo consumers.”

The All-New Volvo S60 is equipped with a turbocharged T6 engine, delivering 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, and comes standard with all-wheel-drive. Its sleek new design captures the imagination and sets the heart racing like no other Volvo sedan, with the C-pillar stretching all the way to the taillights, giving the impression of a 4-door coupe.

The Volvo S60 is also available with Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, a groundbreaking technological solution that actively helps the driver avoid accidents. Volvo’s radar- and camera-based system can detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn the driver if someone walks out into its path, and then automatically activate the S60′s full braking power to stop the car if the driver fails to respond in time. This innovative system includes both a short- and long-range radar detector, which teams up with a built-in camera to determine whether the car is closing in on a pedestrian. When a pedestrian is detected, preventive measures are enacted to ensure a driver knows what is coming, including precharging the brakes, displaying a red warning stripe and enabling a beeping noise in the car.

Bay Area Volvo shoppers will  appreciate a sleek, dynamic sedan appointed with a host of safety features including  corner-traction control and advanced-stability control. The former gives a driver optimal turning control, while the latter mechanism allows for a smoother ride on bumpy roads and helps with any skidding that may occur.
The Naughty Volvo Tour is a series of experiential events, which allow Bay Area Volvo enthusiasts to preview the Volvo S60 before it goes on sale. Utilizing multimedia interactive displays to emphasize the car’s design, performance and safety attributes will heighten the sensory experience. Demonstrations of the Pedestrian Detection system in action will also be available to Bay Area Volvo shoppers.
