Current S60R is 5.7sec S60

Swedespeed (of course!) reports current rating for S60R with manual gearbox is 5.7 seconds 0-100km/h (0-62mph)....just as I thought. The V70R is a surprising 5.9.

Now if they can get these things to turn better than aircraft carriers, well that would be good. [The original S80T6 had to be toned down because it's speed and acceleration exceeded the car's turning abilty. You know, if I were the brand manager at Volvo, I would have made the S80 a RWD car (really, why is this car FWD?). And right about now, I'd be bringing out a fast, sporty, rear-drive Z20. My 60R-class would include a C60R edition, a little lighter and faster than the S. I'd also fix the bizarre rear deck of this car...but Volvo's already working on that.]
