Volvo unveiled a limited edition vehicle this week during the Miami International Auto Show that pays tribute to the men and women racing around the world in the Volvo Ocean Race.
The Volvo Ocean Race XC60 was designed to include distinctive elements like an "Ocean Blue II" exterior color and features black or blonde leather interior with orange stitching and 18-inch wheels.
Named after the Volvo Ocean Race, which Volvo recently called "one of the world's most grueling adventures," the X60 was created to "embody the soul of human challenge," according to a company release.

The seventh leg will start the following day on May 17, 2015.
Two different powertrain options are available as well: the T6 AWD, powered by a 300-hp turbocharged straight-six and the T6 Drive-E with a 302-hp super- and turbocharged four, according to the release.
