With 300HP and 295 pound-feet of torque? S60

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N on  Mon Oct 14 05:29 CST 2002 [RELATED]

An S70R was marketed and built for Europe. This is the one that
has the viscous coupled tranny, lowered a bit with bigger tires,
160MPH speedo, stiffer suspension and a slick looking front air dam.
I had an English car magazine that called it "sublime" (they did
not care for the S70 T5, though). I think the engine output was the
same as the S70 T5 that we get. Some early marketing material for
Volvo (the magazine they send out) used photos of the S70R for an
article about the S70s (this was back in 97, I remember cause I
wanted one).

I suspect sub 6 second runs are hard on any FWD car and AWD is going
to help the S60R in this area.
