The first quarter of 2012 will see the introduction of the Volvo C70 with the Inscription package. The Polestar-modified hardtop droptop carries a $3,900 premium above the four-seater's $40,450 MSRP and is "exclusive to the North American market," although exclusivity in this case appears to mean we get 500 of the car's 2,000-unit global volume.

Those 39 Benjamins will get you 250 horsepower and 273 pound-feet (a gain of 23 hp and 37 lb-ft); aluminum sport pedals; new leather for the seats, dash and some trim; plus 18-inch wheels, a spoiler, and a black grille. Ice White and Black Sapphire Metallic will be your only color choices. Have a closer look at the swanky Swede in the gallery of high-res photos, and there's a press release after the jump.

Volvo doesn't have a big presence at the LA Auto Show, but the Swedish automaker did manage to roll out a new special edition model for our edification. The C70 Inscription is a new trim limited to only 2,000 units worldwide. The Inscription will be available in the U.S. with Volvo's T5 five-cylinder turbo delivering 230 horsepower. Other markets will feature a pair of diesel offerings in 150-hp and 177-hp flavors.

Visually, the Inscription separates itself from garden-variety C70 models through details like a black painted grille with chrome accents, polished aluminum 18-inch wheels with black accents and an interior that features Sovereign Hide(!) upholstery and a leather-clad dashboard. Other exclusive interior tweaks include Inscription-embroidered front headrests, carpet and a unique handbrake cover. The special edition folding hardtop convertible will be available in three colors; Black Stone, Black Sapphire and Ice White.

The Volvo C70 Inscription arrives in dealerships beginning this month. Hit the jump to read over the official press release, and feel free to click on the gallery above to peruse high-resolution photos from the show floor.
