As the sponsor behind the Volvo Ocean Race, the Swedish luxury automaker is celebrating with the release of several custom models for the European market.

The special edition series is limited to the V60, XC60 and XC70 models with either a black or beige leather interior, with ‘Volvo Ocean Race’ embossed onto the seatbacks, as well as Ocean Race logos on the door panels, cargo covers and kick plates.

All three models will be offered in two custom colors: Volvo Ocean Blue II and Electric Silver.

Volvo expects to sell roughly 7,500 of the special edition models this year, with sales starting in April.
