The new design ethos features matte silver trim, a glossy, piano black grille and five-spoke, 18-inch wheels. Cabin upgrades include a choice of black or black and ceramic leather, highly bolstered seats and R-Design-exclusive steering wheel, shift knob and floor mats.

To lure younger buyers into the fold, R-Design models ride 0.6 inch lower with stiffer springs and shocks and a firmer rear suspensionWhile both models are available in Europe this fall, only the S60 R-Design will arrive in North America during the second quarter of 2011.
