First generation (1996–2005)

Volvo unveiled the first generation C70 at the 1996 Paris First generation
Motor Show,[13] followed by introducing it on the
European market as a 1997 model, and a year later as a
1998 model in North America. — with 2.0 (sold mostly in
Italy), a low-pressure turbo (2.4L) and a high-pressure
turbo (2.0L and 2.3L), 5-cylinder, turbocharged petrol
engines and manual and automatic transmissions. Peter
Horbury[14][15] designed the exterior and Mexican
designer Jose Diaz de la Vega[16] led the interior design
team.

The C70 broke Volvo's decades-long styling tradition of Overview

boxy, rectilinear designs and was Volvo's first luxury Manufacturer Volvo Cars
coupe since the 780. According to Peter Horbury, Volvo's
TWR[4]
design chief from 1991 to 2002, with the C70, Volvo
threw away the box, but "kept the toy inside!"[17] "Our Production 1996–2005 (76,809 units)[5][6]
vision was to design a convertible that would meet the
1996–2002 C70 coupé
needs of a family of four looking for comfortable blue-sky
motoring in a vehicle also providing stylish looks, 1997–2005 C70
performance and faultless driving and road-holding."[18] convertible[2]
Model years 1997–2002[5] C70 coupé
In a development program of 30 months[15] and working
with a Volvo 850-derived platform,[15] Britain’s TWR 1998–2005[5] C70
(Tom Walkinshaw Racing) co-designed the car's basic convertible
design and suspension tuning with Volvo. Manufacture of Assembly Sweden: Uddevalla
the C70 was a joint venture[17] until the two companies (Uddevallaverken)
experienced disputes that threatened to interrupt
production; TWR did not contribute to the second Designer Peter Horbury (exterior)

C70

The C70, was introduced to the press in a signature color (saffron pearl metallic) and for the debut
marketing, the 1997 film The Saint featured a C70 — recalling the notable connection of the Volvo P1800
and the television series from the early 1960s, The Saint with Roger Moore as Simon Templar. The total
number of cars produced with the signature saffron pearl metallic paint was reportedly 145.[22]
There was
no 2005 model C70 in North America, the 2004 left over models were sold into 2005 there.[23]
72,000 first
generation C70s were produced in the seven years up to 2006, fewer than 50,000 were convertibles.[24]

Volvo cosmetically updated the convertible with new clear headlights and rear light clusters for model year
2004.

C70 Collection special edition

Introduced in February 2004, the C70 Collection package featured Titanium Grey Pearl exterior with
Toscana Tan exclusive soft leather. It included special deco stitching in the seats, armrests, sun visors and
door panels, together with aluminium inserts in the centre stack and other interior fittings. It was also
available in Black Sapphire, Titanium Grey Pearl or Silver metallic exterior combined with Off Black
exclusive soft leather with contrast deco stitching. In this form it had Carbon-fibre inserts in the centre stack
and other interior fittings. Both packages included an exclusive polished 17-inch wheel design, and luxury
floor mats. The exclusive leather also extended to the door panels.

Relative sales performance

Of the 72,000 first generation C70s produced worldwide, 26,036 were Coupés and 46,786 were
Convertibles. Volvo Cars of North America reported that 24,948 Convertibles were sold in the US, plus
6,465 Coupés. Of those US-market Coupés, 603 had the 2.3 Liter engine with high pressure turbo (T5) and
the M56 5-speed manual transmission. It's believed only 135 of the C70 T5M coupés painted "Saffron"
made it to the US market.[25]

The C70 retractable hardtop also features a roll over protection structure (ROPS) with two pyrotechnically
charged roll hoops hidden behind the rear seats that deploy under roll-over conditions whether the roof is
retracted or not. Volvo featured this advancement in a copy of the "Volvo Saved My Life Club" brochures.
There, a woman was able to walk away from an accident after she slid off an ice-covered mountain road
and rolled her C70 which then slid more than 30 feet (9.1 m) down the mountain face.
