They may be unlikely competitors, but that doesn't mean this isn't an interesting battle. The Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe and the Volvo C30 T5 R-Design are the sportiest models available from their respective manufacturers (Monster AMG models not withstanding of course), but they both err on the side of sophistication, and studiously avoid, the boy racer tag. They are stylish, elegant and in the case of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe, downright expensive. The Volvo C30 T5 less so, taking into account its advancing age, but still factoring in its newly available 'Polestar Conversion' that boosts power up to 184kW & 370Nm. We like the Volvo C30, always have, and that's why we're sitting it such a stiff challenge; putting it up against the rear wheel drive Mercedes-Benz with 224kW & 370Nm. The C350 Coupe also sports some clever new suspension technology called 'agility control,' that increases the damping pressure based on your driving to keep it level and true at any speed, in any corner. Yes, we know the Mercedes-Benz is twice the price of the Volvo, but hopefully the modified C30 T5 'Polestar Conversion' can upset the outcome... Last one up the hill is a rotten egg.

  • I'm really sorry to say this guys, but i think this isn't a fairplay race.

    This is what I think about fairplay:

    - Mercedes-Benz C-class

    - BMW 3-series

    - Audi A4

    - Volvo S60

    So i'll say.... do it over again and pick your car from the midsize luxury/near luxury cars list. That's fair!

    One more thing, wanna have a race with the C30? Why don't you pick the Mercedes-Benz A- class or B-class as your opponent? I bet it will be another story with another happy ending ;)

  • The volvo is fucking ugly!

  • 4:10 no double de-clutch?

  • @AdamTheFenderBender name of the song please :D

  • what name of sound

  • The C30 sounds so good!

  • win for the deadmau5 instrumental

  • how about an AWD volvo s60 T6 R? equally priced if not cheaper, and FAR quicker.
