Imagine a merciless 70,000 km
trip across the oceans for nine
months, to endure 10-meter waves,
blistering 40 knots storms and
unrelenting discomfort 24 hours a
day. Living at the mercy of nature’s
powers, totally depending on your
skills, your gear and your teammates.
Facing the most extreme physical and
psychological conditions, testing the
human abilities to the limit. To constantly
being thrown between hope and despair,
knowing that a single error might wipe out
years of preparation in an instant.
Well, we guess this is quite far away from
your everyday life (unless you’re a crew-
member on any of the participating boats
of the Volvo Ocean Race, of course). Good
news is there’s a way for you to share pieces
of this epic race – even during the not-so-
challenging commuter moments you’re
stucked somewhere between A and B.
As a tribute to the courageous men and
women on-board the hi-tech Volvo Ocean
65 vessels, we created the Volvo
V40 Cross Country Ocean Race
Edition – a V40 Cross Country
featuring some very special
design elements to catch up the
spirit of a very special human
challenge.
You’ll notice it already from the outside:
the unique Ocean Blue II exterior colour,
the specially-designed 17-inch Portunus
wheels (named after the God of ports),
the roof rails, the high-gloss black door
mirror feet and the bright chrome window
frames. And safely on-board, you and your
crew will find yourselves surrounded by a
meticulously crafted sporty-techy interior
featuring details such as leather seats with
contrasting orange stitching, a unique Volvo
Ocean Race deco inlay and Volvo Ocean
Race textile mats. So while you enjoy the
all-road comfort and all-weather capability
of your Volvo, you’ll be reminded of one of
the most challenging adventures on the
planet – the one around it.
EXPERIENCE
A HUMAN CHALLENGE.
AT THE COMFORT
OF A VOLVO.
“To finish first,
first you must finish.”
