Call me a sucker for chromed side mirrors, this is a sharp SUV.
Elegance in grand style
The HEICO HS9, based on the XC90 V8, was unveiled in a new look at the Tuning World Bodensee show, with the fully overhauled body kit making its first stage appearance. Meticulously designed front and rear skirts provide for that characteristic HEICO look and an unforgettable presentation of the 315 bhp vehicle.
The newly designed three-part front skirt adds a nice sporty finish to the car as well as accommodating an optional cornering light system. The front view is perfectly finished by the HEICO SPORTIV front sport grill, while the rear view is dominated by the stainless steel exhaust pipes, framed snuggly by an integrated metal mesh, also in a three piece rear skirt.
The 4.4-liter-V8 is complemented with a sports air filter offering up to 40% more airflow, twin outlet exhaust system in "left-right look" (including front muffler for that classic "V8 rumble"), sports suspension (lowered by approximately 30 mm and with a firmer adjustment), 8.5x20 inch VOLUTION V. wheel set (including spacer set and 275/40R20 Continental SportContact2 tires), sports brake system (six-piston fixed calipers, 355mm brake disk diameter) and interior details such as aluminum door pin set, aluminum foot pedals, aluminum foot rest, leather gear shift lever, stainless steel entrance trim and finest quality velour floor mats.
