The Volvo C30 S2000 was the first completely developed race car by Cyan Racing. The car made its debut for the 2008 Swedish Touring Car Championship and later made the team's full season World Championship debut in 2011 with a turbo engine.

Cyan Racing raced the C30 in the STCC between the years 2008 and 2011, claiming the 2009 title with Tommy Rustad behind the wheel.

The team developed a new turbo-charged engine for the 2011 FIA World Touring Car Championship season as the championship changed regulations. The engine was based on the new Drive-E engine family of Volvo Cars and made it into the race car before the production cars, leading to development enhancements for the production version thanks to the progress made by Cyan Racing on the racing circuits.

In 1998, TWR Volvo won the British Touring Car Championship with Rickard Rydell driving the S40. TWR also aided in designing the road-going Volvo C70 coupe and convertible.

The Volvo S60 S2000 was the first car that Cyan Racing started its own development with, driven by drivers such as Robert Dahlgren and Jan "Flash" Nilsson in the STCC during 2003 and 2007.

The base of the car was developed by Prodrive for the 2002 European Touring Car Championship, with Cyan Racing introducing it for the Swedish Touring Car Championship in 2003 as the championship introduced the S2000 regulations.

As the first development project of the company, running under the name Made in Sweden, Cyan Racing started development of chassis, dampers, engine and more to further develop the car. The team claimed three vice champion positions with it in 2003, 2004 and 2007.

Many will remember Volvo's legendary success on the race track during the 1980s and 1990s with its 240, 850 and S40 models, and will welcome Volvo's return to international motorsport. The two S60s, prepared by Prodrive, will be driven by the Swedish ace Rickard Rydell, who first raced with Volvos in the British Touring Car Championships in 1994 and won the series in 1998, and young British driver, James Hanson, 24, who had his first touring car season with BMW in 2001.

The S60s raced hard and gained fourth place in both races at their first outing of the ETCC season on 21 April at Magny Cours in France and, after the meeting at Silverstone, will continue on a European tour via Czech Republic, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Italy before returning to the UK at Donington Park on 6 October.
