It's no Mini, but Volvo has given the C30 its very own Italian Job!

These are the official pictures of the Volvo's new C30 Black Design, an exclusive special edition destined solely for Italian dealerships. The Black Design is essentially a styling upgrade for Volvo’s hatchback, comprising a mock carbonfibre effect roof wrap, pillars, grille surround and door mirrors. 

Customers have the choice of white, grey or orange for the base colour, while rounding off the look is a set of matte black 17-inch alloy wheels as standard, with 18-inch wheels available as an optional extra.

On the engine front, the Black Design is available with 113bhp 1.6-litre or 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel units, or the firm’s 143bhp 2.0-litre petrol.

Those interested will have to hurry, though – production of the Black Design is being limited to a run of just 600 models, with each car benefiting from its own numbered plaque.
