1996 Volvo 850 Turbo With Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale: 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo. Has approximately 100k miles. Good fun car. Quite fast and very fun. 5 speed transmission. Has been in one "accident" when I was up North and slid into a sign in the snow, minor body damage to passenger rear quarter panel. I am the second owner. This car has been extensively upgraded while I worked on it for an engineering project at school.
Here is a list of the upgrades: -Larger turbocharger -Full exhaust -R exhaust manifold -Ported and polished intake manifold -Intake manifold spacer -Larger throttle body -Higher flowing fuel injectors -S60 2.5T engine head -MSD ignition coil -Heavy duty compressor bypass valve -Silicone vacuum lines -Poly upper engine mount -New transmission torque mount -Replaced subframe bushings -Poly subframe bushing inserts -Front and rear sway bar from IPD -Front poly sway bar bushings -Front strut brace -D2 Racing coilovers, front and back, height and dampening adjustable -Adjustable endlinks -Custom ARD Blue tune (increased mpg's and speed) -HID headlights (6000k) -Gold powdercoated BBS wheels It's important to note that since so much work was done to the car, a majority of the seals and gaskets (included head gasket) were changed to accommodate the increase in power. Reason I'm selling: can't afford two cars in college, this was meant to be an Integrated Systems Engineering project only. Another thing to note is the mileage discrepancy, which was caused by a broken odometer gear. This is a very common issue with Volvos and I have been told it is an easy fix. I never took care of it because it was outside the range of my project guidelines. |

Volvo rolls out new R-Design versions of S60, XC60 and new V60
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Volvo has put together R-Design packages for its newly facelifted S60, V60 and XC60 models, and for those who want more bark to go with them, there's a power upgrade for the S60 and V60 courtesy of Polestar performance. The aesthetics start with new front and rear fascias, the grille going frameless and Tech Matte Black with a silk metal diagonal bar, the back end getting a finned diffuser and round R-Design tailpipes. On top of that, the S60 and V60 are lowered 15 millimeters and can be fitted with 19-inch versions of the company's Ixion wheel pattern.
The R-Design sport chassis stiffens things up, items like the rear dampers getting 20-percent stiffer while front bushings get a whopping 400-percent stiffer. Inside there's a black headliner, perforated leather mixed with nubuck and contrasting stitching on the sport seats, or a full leather option for those who love their cow, and the Adaptive Digital Display gets a blue hue when set to the Elegance appearance theme.
Buyers of the 3.0-liter T6 engine can add the Polestar performance option, which cranks things up to 329 horsepower instead of the standard 304 hp, and an exclusive accelerator pedal comes with it. More detail can be found in the press release below.
Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.
2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.
