Volvo S60 Launch at ORP

Volvo Cars of North America selected Oregon Raceway Park to highlight the new S60. In 4 days, over 120 automotive journalists visited ORP to sampled the power and prowess of the new S60. The first two days, the journalists ran ORP clockwise. Keeping things fresh, journalists ran the course counter clockwise for the last two days.

To highlight the new S60's superb characteristics, Volvo brought the 2010 Speed World Challenge championship winning KPAX/3R race team. Famed professional race drivers Randy Pobst and Andy Pilgrim treated the journalists to some eye popping hot laps.
