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 already planning road-going V8 Supercar?
Sat, 15 Mar 2014After decades of cat-and-mouse battle waged between Holden and Ford, Australia's V8 Supercars series has expanded considerably. Mercedes and Nissan both joined the grid last season, and Volvo has followed suit this year. So when 2014 championship kicked off earlier this month in Adelaide, everyone was watching to see who would come out on top.
The answer is Holden, which took first place in all three of the weekend's races. In fact the General Motors division locked out the podium in the first and third races and took first and third places in the second race, letting just one other manufacturer onto the podium the entire weekend - and that was Volvo. The Polestar S60 scored second place on its first race weekend, beating all the Nissan Altimas, the Mercedes E63 AMGs, the Ford Falcons and most of the Holden Commodores.
Now that's hardly winning the championship, but it's a very solid debut. And that point was not lost on the people back at headquarters in Sweden, who are already thinking about making a roadgoing version of the race-spec V8 Supercar.
2013 Volvo C30 R-Design Polestar Limited Edition [w/video]
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Last Hurrah Comes and Goes In A Hurry
It isn't very often that we drive a new car that's already out of production, but that's exactly what has happened with this 2013 Volvo C30. After just five years on the North American market, the last C30 quietly rolled off the assembly line back in December. But before that happened, Volvo decided to send its compact hatchback out on a high note with a little added performance and exclusivity courtesy of this R-Design Polestar Limited Edition model.
The term "hot hatch" is admittedly tossed around a lot these days, but the combination of an R-Design styling package coupled with a good number of extra ponies under the hood should be more than enough to put the C30 in the mix with the likes of the Volkswagen GTI and its not-too-distant cousin, the Mazdaspeed3. The chief problem with the Polestar Limited Edition, though, is that it's priced against sportier all-wheel-drive compacts like the Golf R and Subaru WRX STI, so we decided to spend a week with the Polestar to see if its exclusivity and performance are enough to make up for its higher price tag.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
