2003 Volvo S60 R

hahaha volvo made a performance sedan.

-Turbocharged 2.5 liter, 5-cylinder engine, which provides 300 hp and 295 ft/lbs of torque at 2,100 rpm
-0-60 5.7 Seconds :omg:
-Haldex AWD :thumbup:
-6-Speed Manual :satisfy:
-Brakes manufactured by Brembo
-‘Four-C’ active chassis control technology: driver choice of Sport, Advanced Sport, or Comfort settings (like the technology used in the BMW M3)
-Dynamic Stability Control System

pictures








since Volvo is owned by Ford it would be cool if Volvo made a car borrowing the GT40's powerplant. hahaha, a 5 liter supercharged engine making over 500 horsepower in a volvo

well in the picture i showed you it uses a 5 speed Geartonic semiautomatic, which allows full automatic or manual gear selection.
theres two choices in transmission: the 5 speed Geartonic
and the 6 speed manual

ehh. volvos have been around for a quite a long time and have been known for their safety first cars. I mean they put some really cool stuff into the S60 R but imo, Volvo making this car wont make much of a difference. i mean i wouldn't mind driving around in it but unless they make some really cool car that makes a great car like the Audi RS6 look like shit it wont really matter to me. But, i do think this car would be able to compete with the BMW M3 and the Mercedes AMG C32.
