India's Olympic hero Abhinav Bindra has been laughing all the way to the bank since he won India the elusive Gold. Now he has been gifted a luxury set of wheels by Volvo India who have rewarded Bindra with a S80 V8 sedan. The S80 costs about Rs. 44 lakh. The white S 80 V8 was gifted to Abhinav by Volvo India's MD, Paul de Voijs at a ceremonial function. Incidently Abhinav's father A.S Bindra was Volvo's first customer from Punjab when he had purchased the XC 90. This does not mean that Abhinav Bindra has been made the brand ambassador of Volvo India and the S80 is just a gift. That's some incentive for budding Indian sportsmen & women to aim for gold.
