Now in  2008 Volvo has developed a completely new racing car, one that was based on the forthcoming Volvo C30 DRIVe. This model has an optimized aerodynamic package that results in lower drag and therefore lower fuel consumption on the street. On the track, these same aerodynamic features provide better stability and higher top speed. Green street technology would form the basis for a winning car on the track.

After a tough start Volvo’s green C30 race car delivered five pole positions and victories in the last two races of the season.
